SINGER: Barenaked Ladies

SONG:War On Drugs

She likes to sleep with the radio on
so she can dream of her favorite song
the one that no one has ever sung
since she was small
She'll never know that she made it up
she had a soul and we ate it up
thrown away like a paper cup
the music falls
The only flaw in her detailed plan
is where she wins back the love of her man
everyone knows that he's never coming back
He took her heart and she took his name
he couldn't stand taking all the blame
he left lonely with guilt and shame
and then she cracked
Won't it be dull
when we rid ourselves of all demons haunting us
to keep us company
In the dream i refuse to have
she falls asleep in a luke-warm bath
we're left to deal with the aftermath again
On behalf of humanity
i will fight for your sanity
how profound such profanity can be
Won't it be dull
when we rid ourselves of all demons haunting us
to keep us company
Won't it be odd
to be happy like we always thought we're supose to feel
but never seem to be
Near where i live there's a viaduct
where people jump when they're out of luck
raining down on the cars and trucks below
They put a net there to catch their fall
like that'll stop anyone at all
what they don't know is when nature calls it goes
They say that jesus and mental health
are just for those who can help themselves
what good is that when you're living hell on earth
From the very fear that makes you wanna die
is just the same as what keeps you alive
it's way more trouble then some suicide is worth
Won't it be dull
when we rid ourselves of all demons haunting us
to keep us company
Won't it be odd
to be happy like we always thought we're supose to feel
but never seem to be
Hard to admit i faught the war on drugs
my hands were tied and the phone was bugged
another died and the world just shrugged it off
