lyrics

the bands are on the run
and there’s nothing
that can save them now
they’ve all been shocked and drugged
all those memories lost
their nightmare has begun
all the loops of biased data runs
cuts deep in the brain
their programmed soul is tamed

pillbox and lollipops
the groupthink of always lost
starstruck and starless

drunken night skies
in the propaganda afterglow
the brain’s been washed clean
of its dark lust dreams
they love the lies
they are happy in the system now
realities are locked
social media is god

pillbox and lollipops
the groupthink of always lost
starstruck and starless

(Chorus)
hijacked and hypnotised
the wonder that’s monetised
the playlist of lemonade

space without memories
half floating confessions
space without memories
half floating confessions
lost touch with reality
lost touch

talent for tyranny
the backdrop unnoticed
strange psychosis
no sense of focus
dead dark of lollipops
all singing all dancing
the doctrine protects them

space without memories
half floating confessions
space without memories
half floating confessions
lost touch
lost touch
lost touch
