By the way, all of the songs on this album place drugs and religion synonymously with each other. Just two ways that that we Ornament (or decorate, kill / waste time) our lives and keep ourselves "asleep" and in "position". The whole album is a challenge for us to break tradition and wake the hell up. We can do something with our lives besides doing drugs and watching television (both of which are the equivalent of believing in a God that never answers us) and wasting time in general.......if we choose to. Those who read this may say "I don't do either of those things" but the truth is, we all waste our lives in some form or fashion. Even people like Einstein (just as an example), who many would say did something great, spent countless hours in front of his equations and theories. This album, from what I gather, is telling us that loving someone else (Music for Nurses) is never a waste of time.
