[Part I: Opiate]


[Intro]

Choices always were a problem for you

What you need is someone strong to guide you

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow

What you need is someone strong to guide you

Like me

Like me

Like me

Like me


[Verse 1]

If you want to get your soul to Heaven

Trust in me now, don't you judge or question

You are broken now, but faith can heal you

Just do everything I tell you to do


[Chorus]

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow

What you need is someone strong to guide you

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow

Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you


[Post-Chorus]

My God's will

Becomes me

When he speaks

He speaks through me

He has needs

Like I do

We both want

To rape you


[Chorus]

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?

Open my eyes, blind me with your light now

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?

Open my eyes, blind me with your light now


[Verse 2]

If you want to get your soul to Heaven

Trust in me, now don't you judge or question

You are broken now, but faith can heal you

Just do everything I tell you to do


[Chorus]

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?

Open my eyes, blind me with your light now

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?

Open my eyes, blind me with your light now

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow

Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you


[Post-Chorus]

My God's will

Becomes me

When he speaks

He speaks through me

He has needs

Like I do

We both want

To rape you

[Part II: The Gaping Lotus Experience]


[Verse 1]

I had a friend once, he took some acid

Now he thinks he's a fire engine

It's okay until he pisses on your lighter

Kinda smells, kinda cool, kinda funny anyway


[Refrain]

Satan, Satan, Satan, Satan, Satan


[Verse 2]

I had a friend once, he took some ecstasy

Tried to marry me and every one in the room

He was sort of loving, kinda caring

Kinda tried to fuck my La-Z-Boy

It got a bit messy all over the curtains

Arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting


[Outro]

I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored

I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored

I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored

I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored
