Before the Lobotomy

Dreamin'
 I was only dreamin'
 Of another place and time
 Where my family's from
 Singin'
 I can hear them singin'
 When the rain had washed away
 All these scattered dreams
 Dyin'
 Everyone's reminded
 Hearts are washed in misery
 Drenched in gasoline
 Laughter
 There is no more laughter
 Songs of yesterday now live
 In the underground

 Whoo, ooh-ooh
 Life before the lobotomy
 Christian sang the eulogy
 Signed, "My love, a lost memory
 From the end of the century"
 Well, it's enough to make you sick
 To cast a stone and throw a brick
 But when the sky is falling down
 You burned your dreams into the ground
 Christian's lesson's what he's been sold (hey!)
 We are normal and self-controlled (hey!)
 Remember to learn to forget (hey!)
 Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
 Well, I'm not stoned, I'm just fucked up
 I got so high I can't stand up
 Well, I'm not cursed, 'cause I've been blessed
 I'm not in love, 'cause I'm a mess
 Like refugees (ooh)
 We're lost like refugees (ooh)
 Like refugees (ooh)
 We're lost like refugees (ooh)
 The brutality
 Of reality
 Is the freedom that keeps me from
