I'm just a tick in a box on a questionnaire 
another moment that flashes into nowhere 
a brand name on a pill that get's you there, ah ah ah ah 
I'm getting nothing and expecting oblivion 
the past aint even worth livin in 
its just a nail that keeps being driven in ah ah ah ah 
I'm cold blooded and completely relaxed 
I'm breaking legs and avoiding the facts 
on the up escalator going down all the cracks, yeah ah ah ah 
 
You are the dummies of another frightened nation 
I am a candidate for elevation 
but when i woke up this morning I'd lost all sensation 
all sensation 
 
So get them, get him, but don't get me 
ah uh ah ah can't hear your cries 
so don't get me to fill up your empty lives 
i i i i ives Empty lives 

Your empty lives Empty lives 
Be obedient, there is no escape 
Forms to fill, time to kill love death and rape 
Sleep baby sleep, don't let nothing awaken you ahhhhhhhh 
Don't look for tomorrow, it's given you the slip 
that's all contained on a silicon chip 
I'm losing shape for the eighties feeling everybody's grip slip 
everybody's grip slip 
 
So get them, get him, but don't get me 
ah uh ah ah can't hear your cries 
so don't get me to fill up your empty lives 
i i i i ives Empty lives 
 
Just there waiting to be filled 
with someone else's stronger will 
Just can't reason to survive with empty empty 
you got the empty empty, You got the empty empty, 
empty lives!Yeah! 
 
(solo) 
 
Bring me water, bring me cocaine 
Bring me something lethal, something that leaves a stain 
But please don't make me feel that emptiness again 
Feel the emptyness again 
 
So get them, get him, but don't get me 
ah uh ah ah get fat it's your size but 
don't get me to fill up your empty 
don't get me to fill up your empty 
don't get me to fill up your empty lives 
i i i i i i i ives Your empty lives 
Your empty lives 
 
(repeat and fade with ad libbing on 
"don't get me" to end on chorus).
