lyrics

Your subconscious is real.

So tired of hearing ‘bout love
A feeling that we’ve made a product of
You either have it or you don’t, it exists on it’s own
Makes it’s own decision
Love enslaves you, love will save you
Just a gift that someone gave you.

Like the radio said:
When you’re not here I’ll go out of my head
When you come back, all the tears I shed
Will lie forgotten on the floor.
I will follow the straight and hollow path
I’m led to prevent my sorrow.

Now I don’t feel so lost.
How much will that cost?
I know love is the boss.
Now I don’t feel so lost.

When the media finally wins
We will be released from all our sins
Love will be the same for everyone the 4th reich begins.
Yes I love you, just like they do
Just the way that I’m supposed to.

Like the radio said:
When you’re not here I’ll go out of my head
When you come back, all the tears I shed
Will lie forgotten on my bed.
I will follow the straight and hollow path
I’m led to prevent my sorrow.

And I will feel no pain.
No loss, no gain.
Just make me ultra sane.
And I will feel no pain.

In a world such as this
Love and lust always coexist
Mass produced love and a lust for numbers, it’s gettin’ me pissed.
Our impulses need disguising
Lead us forth through advertising.

And through the masquerade
Just a small part I have played
I’ve been living three decades
Missing all the money I could have made.
If I end up in that position
I’ll sell my adolescence to my children.

They won’t feel so lost.
How much does it cost?
For my subliminal boss.
They won’t feel so lost.
