Lyrics Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

Neurotic Society

We're living in a joke time, metaphorical coke time

Commerce and girl men,

run the whole world man

bold ,drunken debauchery...

old world brutality

Cold world kills softly,

whole world run savagely

greedy men and pride fiends

program TV screens

Quick scam and drag queens, real lifes been blasphemed

Think twice it's past dreams, crime if you ask clean

Quick fast, the poison has entered the blood stream

Psychological master, consequences are tragedy

Mythological characters, men and women as parody

Superficial vanity, borderline insanity

Out of order humanity, crime committed so passively/randomnly

Desperados and casualties, corporations want batteries

Explanations and strategies, domination and mastery

owned, jonesing and bankrupt, grown people so corrupt

vice lords and yellow men junkies of popularity

Culture so in dependence, vultures scavenge reality

Past feeling depravity

decaying social cavity

Preying on human ignorance, popular immorality

Symptoms of diseased head, population misled

Self indulgent past dead, absence of God head

Pimps, pushers and harlotry

Nepotism, no artistry

Despotism and piracy

Desperation, dishonesty

Business decision policy

more money lesser quality

Inflated global ego, imitating reality

Pseudo psycho new pharaoh, poisonous bow and arrows

Hypo critics on salary, idle hands devils agency

Predisposed to complacency, jealousy and audacity

Contagious social gluttony, stages of mass malignancy

epidemic deception, generation in atrophy

Glam life in debt, scam life and editors

Byproducts of neglect children hiding from creditors

Absence of self respect, phony scared of competitors

Lifestyle of luxury at someone's expense

Sensitive children, used up as sacrifice

Blinded to consequences, smoked up in dope pipes

Ecstasy, fast life, recklessly pass life

Narcotics and cash fight, this neurotic society

Benefactors turned actors, addictions triple captors

Experience manufactured in this neurotic, toxic society

It's like post-war, they looking for the communists or who the marxist is

10,000 pictures on Facebook, that's like the pot callin' the kettle narcissist

Come on really, saying the devil, but you're the chief arsonist

Hypocrites can't even see their own part in this

No reflection, vampire paradigm

No introspection

this star that star rants has a break down

3 months before pure obsession, picture can't take down

Children, it's a shake down, they're just looking for a sacrifice

They been doing this since before Bobby Darin sang Mack the Knife

Before James Dean's car did a jack knife

perhaps because they lack life or lack guts

Never confuse the head with the butt

Opinions are like assholes and most of 'em stink

I was told by a woman, so rethink, don't let these motherfuckers ever lead you to drink

Lead you to doubt, lead you to fall

Get up, stand up, (and)cast Lucifer out

Shake it up baby, watch them twist and then shout

Insecure assholes just looking for a ticket

To ride on somebody

like the Pick It,

it's fucking wicked, shame on a 'nuh'

This neurotic toxic society

Sick psycho psychology in desperate need of psychiatry

Exorcisms, sobriety, forcing

social lobotomies

People stuck in dichotomies, pseudo-sicko anxieties

Serial criminals dressed in variety

Social transvestism, subliminal dressed up as piety

Transference projections like Cartesian images

Robbing innocence, stealing away inheritance

Quiet victims with no defense

betrayed over dollars and cents

Maladjusted and ignorant

mal addiction and dissonance

Too much addiction, no consciousness

Don't trust it, the cosmology's busted

Broken it returns to the dust, it stinks of corruption

Oppression, deceit, abuse and repeat

They don't feel complete unless they're misleading/ robbing the sheep

Man is not a product if you call it that then stop it this neurotic godless society
