Everything's Artificial Lyrics

Everything's Artificial

Eat that shit do that stuff

Everything's artificial

Eat that shit do that stuff

You never find piece of mind

When the word comes down from the man uptown

And he's about to steal you blind

Eat that shit do that stuff

Drown yourself in the corporate fluff

Because everything's artificial all the time

I talked to a woman but it wasn't the same

As talking to you when you were playing that game

With your insides out and your outsides in

I was locked up in chains with original sin

Packed up my ladder I shot my guitar

I put my sense of direction in a pickle jar

I was leaning cleaning the cobwebs out of my heart

I was bursting babe I was thirsting babe for a brand new place to start

I couldn't find my way out I couldn't find my way in

I couldn't find you in the places where our hearts had been

I ought to be singing but all I ever do is whistle

Everything's artificial

Eat that shit do that stuff

Everything's artificial

Eat that shit do that stuff

You know you never find piece of mind

When the word comes down from the man uptown

And he's about to steal you blind

Eat that shit do that stuff

Honey drown yourself in the corporate fluff

Because everything's artificial all the time

I got me a job selling valuable toys

To impressionable little girls and boys

Vigilante justice and death on parade

Stories for those who have never been laid

Trading cards full of sex blood and gore

I wonder sometimes if should've done more

With the music I couldn't refuse it

When I was younger and full of hope

I'd let the poetry get the best of me

It was the only way I could cope

Now I'm climbing a ladder without first setting a net

Forgetting a woman that I could never forget

My life was once a novel and now it's just a short epistle

Well everything's artificial

Eat that shit do that stuff

Everything's artificial

Eat that shit do that stuff

You know you never find piece of mind

When the word comes down from the man uptown

And he's about to steal you blind

Eat that shit do that stuff

Honey drown yourself in the corporate fluff

Because everything's artificial all the time

Oh yeah everything's artificial all of the time
