Don’t Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me) by Marilyn Manson

Lyrics

Norm life baby
We’re white and oh so hetero
And our sex is missionary

Norm life baby
We’re quitters and we’re sober
Our confessions will be televised

You and I are under dosed and we’re ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all

I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don’t like the drugs, the drugs the drugs

Norm life baby
Our god is white and unforgiving
We’re piss tested and we’re praying

Norm life baby
I’m just a sample of a soul
Made to look just like a human being

Norm life baby
We’re rehabbed and we’re ready
For our fifteen minutes of shame

Norm life baby
We’re talk shown and we’re pointing
Just like Christians at a suicide

You and I are under dosed and we’re ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all

I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don’t like the drugs, the drugs the drugs

There’s a hole in our soul that we fill with dope
And we’re feeling fine

I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don’t like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
