Drugs come out of boredom babe
U.N. exports it everyday
Their armies feed the ghetto lame
Government approve it just the same
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel, I need to feel,
I need to feel, I need to feel
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
Left alone in corporate slums
Where germs are free not amex fun
Healthy bodies in empty minds
Only exist in advert time
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel, I need to feel,
I need to feel, I need to feel
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
Sunk deep in my T.V.
Maybe sucked the soul from within me
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
U.N. exports it everyday
Their armies feed the ghetto lame
Government approve it just the same
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel, I need to feel,
I need to feel, I need to feel
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
Left alone in corporate slums
Where germs are free not amex fun
Healthy bodies in empty minds
Only exist in advert time
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel, I need to feel,
I need to feel, I need to feel
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
Sunk deep in my T.V.
Maybe sucked the soul from within me
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
We need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease

There's nothing that explicitly says in the lyrics anything about a belief in AIDS being engineered in a lab. But the line "Their armies feed the ghetto lame. Government approve it just the same" could refer to the conspiracy theory (although there is very strong evidence showing it is true) that crack-cocaine was pushed into the ghettos by the CIA-Contra debacle. This would keep the underclass forever the underclass by giving them criminal records either for using or selling the drugs that would prevent them ever getting good jobs.
But the rest of it seems, as my nothing pointed out, seems to be about the evils of consumer culture. If you make people believe there is something wrong with them (they don't dress cool enough, their teeth aren't white enough, they need to cover skin blemishes, ect, ect, infinite ect) then you can sell them a cure. And in the age of American prescription drug ads that are marketed to let people know they have a disease they didn't know they had so they should talk their doctor into letting them buy the over-priced cure.....it's especially resonating.
MBlack - That's an excellent wrap of this song. I had a vague notion along these lines about it, but you articulated it so well. <br /> <br /> Great work!<br /> <br />
