Amphetamine

Story Behind The Song

After tired of being the "nice guy" all of the time, this song was a chance for me to go to the other end of the spectrum. And now I've been called a "misogynist" for it. You just can't win with those pesky women.

Song Description

A man confesses that all he really wants is sex, and then is chastised by the collective male consciousness for revealing their secret. But he still just wants sex.

Song Length 3:21 Genre Rock - Alternative
Tempo Slow (71 - 90) Lead Vocal Male Vocal
Subject General Language English
Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

After the amphetamine
of love wears off,
well it just smells
like lust to me.
Another chance to laugh
my balls off
at the thought
that we were meant to be.

Honey, we?re just chemical,
nothing too meaningful.
No fate involved,
no destiny,
just a dick
and a wet pussy.

Oh yes, I suckered you
into my web
with my phony vulnerability.
But would you have come
so easily
to my bed
if my words were laced
with honesty.

I just want you
for your body, baby.
Just a night or two
of endless sex play.
No sticky feelings,
no apologies,
just you
down on your knees.

Damn it, boy,
our secrets running wild now,
and we?ll never get it back.
Overexposed to the female eye,
our brotherhood
of kleptophiliacs.

Only skanks and whores
will want us now boys,
no more women of quality.
Why?d you have to rat us out
my friend,
we could have hid behind
some chivalry.

After the amphetamine
of love wears off,
well it just smells
like lust to me.
Another chance to laugh
my balls off
at the thought
that we were meant to be.

Don?t get me wrong
there?s possibly
a future for me
in monogamy.
Enchanted by some woman?s spell,
But adieu,
because she sure ain?t you.
