Lyrics

Norm life babyWe’re white and oh so heteroAnd our sex is missionary

Norm life babyWe’re quitters and we’re soberOur confessions will be televised

You and I are under dosed and we’re ready to fallRaised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all

I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like meI don’t like the drugs, the drugs the drugs

Norm life babyOur god is white and unforgivingWe’re piss tested and we’re praying

Norm life babyI’m just a sample of a soulMade to look just like a human being

Norm life babyWe’re rehabbed and we’re readyFor our fifteen minutes of shame

Norm life babyWe’re talk shown and we’re pointingJust like Christians at a suicide

You and I are under dosed and we’re ready to fallRaised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all

I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like meI don’t like the drugs, the drugs the drugs

There’s a hole in our soul that we fill with dopeAnd we’re feeling fine

I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like meI don’t like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
