i can’t handle reality
i need to take a break
i need a raw electric current
and a heap of pills to take
they help me get a grip
and introduce me to my mind
a zap a day for sixteen months
then it’s back out to the grind
ten thousand volts trippin through my brain ten thousand pills gonna ease my pain ten thousand volts rippin through my brain ten thousand pills gonna keep me insane
you might think i’m crazy
but i’m as sane as you
it’s not because of what i’ve done
but in case of what i’ll do
i can’t handle the real world
i have a number of major faults
the only thing i can relate to
is a couple of thousand volts
ten thousand volts trippin through my brain ten thousand pills gonna ease my pain ten thousand volts rippin through my brain ten thousand pills gonna keep me insane
stick the electrodes to my head
strap me nice and tight
flick the dial and juice me up
and then i’ll be all right
i can’t reality i need to take a break
i need a raw electric current and a heap of pills to take
ten thousand volts trippin through my brain ten thousand pills gonna ease my pain ten thousand volts rippin through my brain ten thousand pills gonna keep me insane
(forever)
