Radioactive dreams Got me bursting at the seams Life is strange as it seems Neon confusions Got me coming to conclusions I undress the illusions Love bombed lover You can be replaced with another Friends who ain’t friends We all meet unsavoury ends I’m a victim To a system We roll the dice, Loaded like guns, Against our luck And we stare down snake eyes As we tell ourselves some lies About our ******* luck Glitz and glamour Sugary ******* and diamonds Hundred-dollar bills Become hundred-dollar fines And hundred-dollar fines Become one-dollar bills They say don’t eat the rich Because one day you’ll cannibalise yourself There is an idea Called the American Dream And we’re just living in the fallout Of such contagious, radioactive dreams
