Lyrics
Alcohol will thin the blood The vitamin will make the blood strong
And you won't feel a thing because to feel something is wrong
A rose inside a fisted glove it?s physical, it won't last for long
The words are only rhythm
And rhythm's just a reason to move during a song
A sample from the past sped up to keep it fast
A vessel so determined to stay high
But there is little worth In imitation earth
Under imitation sky
A beat from a machine A groove that doesn't mean
A rut that takes you down. Still you want more
You'll never get your fill of culture's sugar pill
Without it life's a bore Chorus:
We all need reasons to move
Is there meaning to your movement
Live as if you have something to prove
Another pretty face That took somebody's place
A wardrobe and another mans words
An industry that plans To lead you like a lamb
While heroes go unheard Chorus:
Alcohol will thin the blood The weakest now will later be strong
And you won't feel a thing because You'll won?t be there that long
A rose inside a fisted glove It's Physical it won't last for long
A words are more than rhythm
The rhythm's just a reason to listen to the song
Listen to the song?
