Peter Kastro - Welcome to the World Lyrics

Welcome to the world!
We hide our suffering here
Deep down where people won't go
So, what's the problem you fear?
Take a pill, try to chill
While we stuff it in here
Ain't no duffle. No, don't scuffle
While we open your ear
To take a piece of your brain
We can get down through here
To stuff your thoughts down your chest
You may find it harder and harder to draw in a breath
Take another pill! Drift off!
It'll be like your death!
But, you'll wake up in a dream-like state
With men in lab-coats holding your leg
Telling you, "Everything will be okay"
Though you might not feel that way
Yet another pill will make you say

"Maybe all of this is worth all of the angst and pay
Maybe all of this is worth all of the angst and pay
Maybe all of this is worth all of the angst and pay"
Maybe... Probably not though

Thanks for the stay!
We enjoyed you being here
Next time, we'll make you clear
Of all the evil and the people
Who you hold so dear
So you don't have to ever feel again
Your skin and vision will be so clear again
(You'll) never have another depression
Or momentary stress
At the discretion of our Docs
You'll never feel cruddy
Of course, for all this work
We will ask for more money
Just a little 10, 12, 15 thousand bucks
Not too much
Just enough to pay the wages we cut
'Cause the man at the top of the big Pharmaglomerate
Told us we could increase profits with no extra dollar spent
That's just what it is
And who you are to us - another buck
Welcome to the world, you fuck!

We all hate you!
We really wish you were dead
But while you're still here
Might as well benefit off your head
And what you're fed
Where your bed rests
Will be determined by supremacists
Who we know still exist and are doing this
Fascists in the government
People on the ground who are loving it
Getting money stripped from their retirements
Cheering at their own demise!
It's no surprise who we blame
Keep your eyes on the prize of this game
Rich gettin' richer while the poor get poorer
But as long as you're white, you never see true horror
So, why not give your pay away
To a KKK enthusiast
With wrists with swastika tattoos
And lists of every Muslim in the USA?
Hey, hey, hey!
Isn't it a great day to shine?
And lose your mind?
And waste your time?
And spend your dimes
On games and crimes
Against humanity?
Family style chicken buckets?
Fuck it!
Might as well get diabetes
Chugging soda
Float away with guvment drugs
Paid for - lovin' it
Makin' America great enough for Governors
And hundreds of Billionaires
Elsewhere, they stare at you if you don't make your money
They glare at you. They look at you funny
"You mean you don't own a business AND you don't farm?
What the fuck are you doing to make yourself hard?
You're worthless; on top of that, you're raising kids?"
Damn

Welcome to the world
This is where our ignorance is
