[English]

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 at all

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 and 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

We're taught to be nothing at all

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 feeling fine"

"There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope

And we're feeling fine"

"There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope

And we're feeling 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 (drugs)

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

I don't like the drugs (drugs)

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

I don't like the drugs (drugs)

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

I don't like the drugs (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 (drugs)

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
