The Dope Show

The drugs they say make us feel so hollow
We love in vain narcissistic and so shallow
Cops and queers, to swim you have to swallow
Hate today no love for tomorrow

We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show

There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show

They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not and they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not and they love another

Drugs they say are made in California
We love your face we'd really like to sell you
Cops and queers make good looking models
I hate today who will I wake up with tomorrow
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not and they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not and they love another

There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

They'll blow your mind

We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
