Faded
Young dude, barely twenty-two
Tired of eating ramen with a plastic spoon
Got a scene, strings, some talent it seems
And a dirty little spot behind the Dairy Queen
Pills, pills
Pills pay the bills
Hustle for exposure
But exposure kills
Sell, sell
Clients never tell
American Dream
Don't pay for itself
Faded
White coat, scribbled little notes
Keep that strip mall office afloat
Off label, but never off brand
Don't matter if we need 'em cause the checks still cash
Pills, pills
Pills pay the bills
Private schools and homes
In the Brentwood Hills
Sell, sell
Patients can't tell
Pump 'em up and set 'em loose to kill themselves
Faded
We're fading
Faded
We're fading
Late night, wrong dive bar
A plain-clothed cop in an unmarked car
Bad luck don't discriminate
But you can guess which one is doing 20 upstate
Pills, pills
Pills pay the bills
If you wanna get 'em hooked
Make 'em break the seal
Sell, sell
You don't look well
Talk to your doc
They got just the pill
Tired of eating ramen with a plastic spoon
Got a scene, strings, some talent it seems
And a dirty little spot behind the Dairy Queen
Pills, pills
Pills pay the bills
Hustle for exposure
But exposure kills
Sell, sell
Clients never tell
American Dream
Don't pay for itself
Faded
White coat, scribbled little notes
Keep that strip mall office afloat
Off label, but never off brand
Don't matter if we need 'em cause the checks still cash
Pills, pills
Pills pay the bills
Private schools and homes
In the Brentwood Hills
Sell, sell
Patients can't tell
Pump 'em up and set 'em loose to kill themselves
Faded
We're fading
Faded
We're fading
Late night, wrong dive bar
A plain-clothed cop in an unmarked car
Bad luck don't discriminate
But you can guess which one is doing 20 upstate
Pills, pills
Pills pay the bills
If you wanna get 'em hooked
Make 'em break the seal
Sell, sell
You don't look well
Talk to your doc
They got just the pill
