Neurotic Society (compulsory Mix) Lyrics - Lauryn Hill

We're living in a joke time, metaphorical coke time 

Commerce and guru men, run the whole world man 

Old 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 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 privacy 

Desperation, dishonesty 

Physicist is your policy, more money, less equality 

Inflated global ego, imitating reality 

Fuel cycle 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, just 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, this star track, star rant break down 

Three months before pure obsession, picture can't take down 

Children, this 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 because 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 ever lead you to drink 

Leave you to doubt 

Lead you to fall, get up, stand up, pass Lucifer out 

Shake it up baby, watch them twist it 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 cycle 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 

Transforms projections like Cartesian images 

Robbing innocence, stealing inheritance 

Quiet victims with no defense portrayed over dollars and cents 

Maladjusted ignorant malediction and dissonance 

Too much addiction, no consciousness 

Don't trust it, this cosmology is busted 

Broken returns to the dusted, stems 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 it that then stop it 

In this neurotic godless society
