I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)[]

Lyrics[]

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs

Norm life baby
"We're white and oh so hetero and
Our sex is missionary."

Norm life baby
"We're quitters and we're sober,
Our confessions will be televised.”

You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
We're taught to be nothing

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs

Norm life baby
"Our God is white and unforgiving
We're piss tested and we're praying."

Norm life baby
"I'm just a sample of a soul
Made to look just like a human being."

Norm life baby
"We're rehabbed and we're ready
For our 15 minutes of shame."

Norm life baby
"We're talkshown and we're pointing
Just like Christians at a suicide."

You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
Taught to be nothing

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs

There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope.
And we're feelin' fine
There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope.
And we're feelin' fine

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the (drugs)
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the (drugs)

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
Don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
Don't like the drugs but the drugs like me...
