lyrics
Fructose, Sucrose, give me some glucose
Caffeine, nicotine, where’s my guillotine
Alcohol, manitol, fixes me a speedball
Red meat, burnt beef, pour me the straight grease
Hemlock, aftershock, crack cocaine, hot rock
Porno, video, San Fernando peep show
Internet bed wet, glued to the TV set
Romance paperback, secrets in a papersack
Ounce for ounce, pound for pound
Gram for Gram, I don’t give a damn
Workaholic, psychotic, comes home robotic
Love deprived, stepford wives spend their time anaesthetized
Athletic, anorexic, take another diuretic
Narcotic, symbiotic, codependent alcoholic
Feral kids of television armed at school ignore tuition
Inefficient Politicians hire deficient statisticians
Crooked cops illegal stops military loves black ops
Without debate they detonate the new world police state
Chauvinistic, masochistic, sports addicted pizza mystic
White lies and alibis, supersize my shake and fries
New age, road rage, take me to the last stage
Underage stripper singer mousketeer in a cage
Insider trading, masturbating, overstated profit rating
Bankrupt, handcuffed, CEO’s with dandruff
Country club, backrub, dead hooker in the bathtub
Supersonic Gin and Tonic, don’t forget the deep colonic
Nothing breeds excess like success
Nothing succeeds like success
Nothing breeds excess like success
Nothing succeeds like excess
