In Your Face
Better Than a Thousand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hooked on their addiction, is there any hope?
In a sex wrapper, in a glided cage
We've been captured animals, but we should be enraged
Poison in your brain! Poison in your fucking brain!
Earth and air and water will never be the same
Sold for the sake of progress for so little gain
Take a pill for self-esteem, they're fucking with your brain!
Poison in your brain! Poison in your fucking brain!
