Goldfish Brain

Brain like a goldfish
Same old shit but the bowl's switched
You can tell me your name
But I'll never know it
The people I looked up to
They quit and gave up
Well I don't give a shit 'cause they suck
Bragged about money and the bitches they fucked
Take your free love and your tree hugs
The things that you're in need of, beliefs and dreams you dreamed up
Sometimes I'm way ahead, sometimes I fall behind
Quittin' drugs is easy, I do it all the time
Sometimes you're way ahead, sometimes you're far behind
Well quittin' stuff is easy baby, you do it all the time
Whiskey set me free
Policemen let me be
I'm just waiting here for someone I believe
(Lie to me)
Whiskey set me free
Policemen let me be
I'm just waiting here for someone, lie to me
(I believe)
Now Jesus is hanging up there on that cross
You gonna help me man, or you just gonna watch?
Well Jesus is hanging up there on that cross
You comin' back around again or not?
We were drinking in the daytime, trying to walk a straight line
I don't know about you, but I'm having a great time
We were drinking in the daytime, trying to walk a straight line
I don't know about you girl, but I'm having a great time
Control us with churches, bullets, and hearses
Kill all the poets we worship, your revolution was from the commercial
Whiskey set me free
Policemen let me be
I'm just waiting here for someone I believe
(Lie to me)
Whiskey set me free
Policemen let me be
I'm just waiting here for someone, lie to me
(I believe)
Hey
You want fun? I get it, I was young and I wanted some
Hey
Ain't shit changed, goldfish brain
Hey
Hey
Whiskey set me free
Policemen let me be
I'm just waiting here for someone I believe
(Lie to me)
Whiskey set me free
Policemen let me be
I'm just waiting here for someone, lie to me
(I believe)
