Lyrics Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix) - Lauryn Hill

We're living in a joke time, metaphorical coke time
Commerce and guru men run the whole world, man
Bold, drunken debauchery, old world brutality
Cold world kills softly, whole world runs savagely

Reading into prior things, program TV screens
Quick scam and drag queens, real likely to blast fiends
Think twice and past dreams, crime if you ask clean
Quick, fast, the poison has entered the blood stream

Psychological master, consequences of tragedy
Mythological characters, men and women is parody
Superficial the vanity, borderline insanity
Out of order humanity, crime committed so passively

Desperados and casualties, corporations want batteries
Explanations of strategies, domination and mastery
Own Jones in the bankrupt, grown people so corrupt

Light swords and yellow men, junkies in popularity
Culture so independent, vultures scavenge reality
Past feeling depravity to kings social cavity
Prey on human ignorance, popular immorality

Sympathy disease head, population misled
Self-indulgent, past dead, absence of the God head
Pimps, pushers and harlotry
Nepotism, no artistry
Despotism and piracy
Desperation, dishonesty

Physicist is your policy, more money, less equality
Inflated global ego, imitating reality
Fuel cycle the pharaoh, poisonous poison arrows

Hypocritics on salary, idle hands that was agency
Predisposed to complacency, jealousy, and audacity
Contagious social gluttony, stages of mass malignancy
Effort to make conception, generation in atrophy

Glam life in debt, scam life in editors
Byproducts of neglect children hiding from creditors
Absence of self respect, fully scared of competitors
Lifestyle of luxury at someone's expense

Sensitive children, used up and sacrificed
Blind to the consequence, smoked up on dope pipes
Ecstasy, fast life, recklessly past life
Narcotics and cash fight, it's neurotic society
Benefactors turned actors, addictions, triple captors
Experience manufactures just neurotic, toxic society

It's like post-war, they're looking for the Communists or who the Marxists is
Ten thousand pictures on Facebook, it's like the pot calling the kettle narcissist
Come on really, saying it's the devil, but you're the chief arsonist
Hypocrites can't even see their own part in this

No reflection, vampire paradigm
No introspect, just star that, star rants is a break down
Three months before pure obsession, picture can't take down
Children, it's a shake down, they just looking for a sacrifice

They've been doing this since before Bobby Darin sang Mack the Knife
Before James Dean's car did a jackknife
Perhaps it's 'cause they lack life or lack guts
Never confuse the head with the butt

Opinions are like assholes and most of 'em stink
I was told by a woman, so rethink
Don't ever let them lead you to drink
Lead you to doubt

Lead you to fall, get up, stand up, pass Lucifer out
Shake it up, baby, watch them twisting and shout
Insecure assholes looking for a ticket
To ride on somebody like the picket
It's fucking wicked, shame on 'em
This neurotic, toxic society

Sick psycho psychology in desperate need of psychiatry
Exorcism, sobriety, forcing social lobotomies
People stuck in dichotomies, pseudo-sicko anxieties
Serial criminals dressed in variety

Social transvestisms, subliminal dressed up as piety
Transference, projections like Cartesian images
Robbing innocence, stealing inheritance
Quiet victims with no defense portrayed over dollars and cents

Maladjusted and ignorant, malediction and dissonance
Too much addiction, no consciousness
Don't trust it, this cosmology's busted
Broken and returned to the dust, it stinks of corruption

Oppression, deceit, abuse and repeat
They don't feel complete unless they're robbing the sheep
Man is not a product, if you call him that then stop it
In this neurotic, godless society
