Lyrics
0:10A dead silver spoon with needles in his skin
0:13Rode a pale horse down from Afghanistan
0:18Tears in the suburbs mothers praying for their d**ned
0:22Death has crept into their zone of the promised land
0:29But just before each plague
0:32The clearest prophecies
0:37Pandora's box in backwoods pharmacies
0:47A contract to die
0:49Prescription for a homicide
0:53A generation on the hook
0:57Addicted and commodified
1:02Prescription for a homicide
1:19Narcotic economics for the miner's sons
1:23The seams went bust so long ago with nowhere else to turn
1:28Strip mine the veins drill the abscess dry
1:32Incentives for the architects of their genocide
1:38We've seen this all before
1:43In a different shade
1:47The Dark Alliance shifts to the modern age
1:56A contract to die
1:59Prescription for a homicide
2:03A generation on the hook
2:07Addicted and commodified
2:11Prescription for a homicide
2:16Prescription for a homicide
2:20They're never worth a second look
2:24Addicted and commodified
2:29Your prescription for a homicide
2:57A contract to die
3:06A contract to die
3:14A contract to die
3:23A contract to die
3:30Die die die die
3:33Hippocratic hypocrites
3:38Breaking oaths and cashing checks
3:42Wrote an ocean's worth of ink
3:46Scripting a nation's disease
3:50A systematic business plan
3:54To broker death increase demand
3:59So flood the ghetto and starve the hills
4:02Kill them all with crack and pills
4:07Kill them all
4:16Kill them all
A dead silver spoon with needles in his skin Rode a pale horse down from Afghanistan Tears in the suburbs mothers praying for their d**ned Death has crept into their zone of the promised land But just before each plague The clearest prophecies Pandora's box in backwoods pharmacies A contract to die Prescription for a homicide A generation on the hook Addicted and commodified Prescription for a homicide Narcotic economics for the miner's sons The seams went bust so long ago with nowhere else to turn Strip mine the veins drill the abscess dry Incentives for the architects of their genocide We've seen this all before In a different shade The Dark Alliance shifts to the modern age A contract to die Prescription for a homicide A generation on the hook Addicted and commodified Prescription for a homicide Prescription for a homicide They're never worth a second look Addicted and commodified Your prescription for a homicide A contract to die A contract to die A contract to die A contract to die Die die die die Hippocratic hypocrites Breaking oaths and cashing checks Wrote an ocean's worth of ink Scripting a nation's disease A systematic business plan To broker death increase demand So flood the ghetto and starve the hills Kill them all with crack and pills Kill them all Kill them all
