I Don't Like The Drugs
Marilyn Manson Lyrics

Norm life baby
We conform to society's expectations and live a mundane, ordinary life.

"We're white and oh so hetero And our sex is missionary"
We are the stereotypical straight, white couple who only have sex in the most vanilla way possible.

"We're quitters and we're sober Our confessions will be televised"
We have given up on trying to live life to the fullest and will broadcast our uninteresting experiences to the world.

You and I are under dosed and we're ready to fall Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
We are unprepared for the complexities of life, having been raised to conform and not to think for ourselves.

I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
I am aware that drugs are harmful, yet I cannot resist their allure and continue to use them.

"Our god is white and unforgiving We're piss tested and we're praying"
Our society reveres a certain type of person and punishes those who do not conform, leading us to constantly worry and pray for acceptance.

"I'm just a sample of a soul Made to look just like a human being"
I am just one of many who have been molded to conform to societal norms and appear like everyone else.

"We're rehabbed and we're ready For our fifteen minutes of shame"
We have been through the motions of rehab and are ready to return to the public eye for a brief moment of infamy.

"We're talk shown and we're pointing Just like Christians at a suicide"
We are scrutinized in the media and societal pressure it creates causes us to act like a mob, pointing fingers and judging others.

"There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope And we're feeling fine"
We are broken inside, and try to numb that feeling with drugs. However, it only brings temporary relief.
