My Iron Lung

1. Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell.

My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung.

We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung.

[Chorus:]
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon.

2. Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum.

This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK.

[Chorus]
