Straight jacket, your own beauty

Because it's just a breakdown away

From the gutter to the jewel

A symbol sold in investment days

Defenseless as the pages you burn

A baby drowning under a profit curve

Money bruises the skin at birth

I just wanna lie down in my bed

Make myself different from the rest

Use a thought to put myself to sleep

Collapsing in the fields where it feels free

Where it feels free R P McMurphy

Na, na, no more pills and no more drugs

This country pisses debris

Like ugly people made pretty

Underneath cheap make-up

Deformed, disguised mind decay

Buy, consume, get more credit

Learn to serve a life sentence here

Style yourself in sterility

I just wanna lie down in my bed

Make myself different from the rest

Use a thought to put myself to sleep

Collapsing in the fields where it feels free

Where it feels free R P McMurphy

Na, na, no more pills and no more drugs

    General CommentThe book 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' compares society to an insane asylum, where we are drugged and brainwashed into accepting restrictions on our freedom. RP McMurphy was the heroic character who fought back against that.
