The Brian Jonestown Massacre
We Never Had a Chance
You feel love, well, you better love yourself
Be careful now, because love is against the law
Just so how you can give a fuckin' shit about the law
It's worth your blood, sweat, and tears to be living at all
You fight the lies everybody tries to tell you you're dead
It flashes before your eyes before anybody had said
The motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in your head
You want life, oh, but then you die so slow
Hands up, drop the gun, shots you dead and thats the hole in the law
You close your eyes, don't look at the lies, but then you seen it all
A freeze-frame lasts forever but the picture is small
They say love is everywhere and that's the damnedest thing
It's in your eyes them butterflies are part of everything
The cloudy skies, the fog in your eyes, they will not let you see
A chance to fall, and hear the call, and grab the magic ring
Don't be surprised when you wake up and they tell you you're dead
I find that hope was the same as nothing at all
The motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in your head
And maybe now as you're startin' to sink
You wake up and remember the words to this song
Maybe now as you're startin' to sink
You wake up to discover you're singing along
