Placebo Effect ( first version )

( bridge )
Even in paradise, a few will whine
how many more than what is true,
Are kept out each and every time
when they don their rosy colored view,
Ambulance chasers lead the way
for reform that avoids reality,
How transparent what these hypocrites say
when they want our liberty...

Here come the new saviors
with their silken ties,
There go the papers
that document their lies,
Here come the catch-praises
hanging on the tongue tip,
The steps are merely phases
as we are offered an opium drip,
Some take to the ideas stated
while some just aren't as buzzed or wasted...

( chorus )
Let's separate the state
from becoming a church,
it's useless to debate
those who have no worth,
in the beauty of independence

Here come the yellow dogs barking
for more and more party tricks,
How to write without openly marking
letters that spell out hypocrites,
Here come the awaited denials
from well leaked focus groups,
Failing all known and secret trials
putting bandages on the truths,
Some still like the i.v. dripping
while some of us just aren't into the tripping

( chorus )
Let's separate the state
from becoming a church,
it's useless to debate
those who have no worth,
in the beauty of independence.
