Diminish the grimace and put me back in power babe Replenish the menace and make sure he's a heavyweight Feed that little tyrant grapes Feed that little tyrant grapes Yeah The media is laughing gas So you write another song about war Because its tried and tried and troubadour-ed So you write another song about her But tell me really what's it worth? The media is laughing gas 'Cause the south hates the north So I hate you of course And the hates back and forth Like my face hates my nose and yeah The drummer speaks in morse code The drummer speaks in morse code So gimme blue eyes So people care when I cry Like I want an out Like I feel ashamed yeah Trapped inside a heart and brain Trapped inside a hardened brain You say its all doom and gloom But its just not that bad So lets repaint your room And then I'll call you a cab You say its all doom and gloom Man this place is a drag So lets repaint my room And then ill draw you a bath The media is laughing gas
