The Quickest Fix

It's "Gimme, gimme, gimme, give it to me now!"
A generation lacking patience
A nation that's fixated on
Insta-gratification
Comatose from an overdose
Of immediate elation
An eminence of flaccidness
From the mental masturbation
I try (I TRY) but I can't (I CAN'T)
Seem to understand the reason
Why waste (WHY WASTE) my time (MY TIME)
Making sense of the confusion
It's "Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, give me some more!"
Gotta get the new sensation
The senseless craze is over-praised
By a blinded population
Bought and sold in an overload
Over-feeding expectation
Can't relax or interact
It's intellectual castration
I try (I TRY) but I can't (I CAN'T)
Seem to understand the reason
Why waste (WHY WASTE) my time (MY TIME)
Making sense of the confusion
Give it to me now
Give me some more
Give it to me now
The quickest fix
Gotta have it!
I try (I TRY) but I can't (I CAN'T)
Seem to understand the reason
Why waste (WHY WASTE) my time (MY TIME)
Making sense of the confusion
I try (I TRY) but I can't (I CAN'T)
Seem to understand the reason
Why waste (WHY WASTE) my time (MY TIME)
Making sense of the confusion

Let the fucking house of cards collapse
'Cause nothing lasts forever
I guess that we have fucking forgot that
We're stewing in the shit and piss
Of one thousand different lies
Washed in the tears of a million cries
Of one billion bleak and bitter fucking lives
Idiots and idols and dreams of grandeur
Divisive derisions we're left to endure
Buy or beware or maybe
You already sold your final care
The advent of absence abandons
Solutions for madness
Pre-occupy the mind
Sedated, elated and everything is...
Finally falling apart
Rapidly, vapidly, I'm holding it close
To my fucking heart, in hopes when we're gone
Mother Earth will see a brighter dawn
Idiots and idols and dreams of grandeur
Divisive decisions we're left to endure
And spring buds despair
And as the summer ends
The fall will soon be here
As the house of cards disintegrates
All the flowers wilt and the Earth shakes
The forests burn and the cities flood
And the streets in between are covered in blood
We could've been saved and we would've been fine
But instead we all chose to turn a blind eye
With a gun to our head, is it worth it to fight
Or is it death by 45?
