Mother's child, should I put this

Chip under your skin

Or should I try to change the world we live in?

How can I drain the sickness from the river?

Wish that I could just wipe you from the face forever



Too much time is taken up

Too much time is taken up

Watching people suffer

Now I've got to take these drugs

And now I've got to take these drugs

So I don't see it over and over



And again the devil's had its way with someone

Torn and frayed, it desecrates

And fascinates us

Some are born, with the face of

Evil tattooed inside

I have no mercy, I just want to watch you die



Too much time is taken up

Too much time is taken up

Watching people suffer

Now I've got to take these drugs

And now I've got to take these drugs

So I don't see it over and over



(Hindu Chant Translation):



I would accept death, but what can I do

My soul will not depart

Give me a corner of your lap to rest in

May God keep happy the one who gave my heart

So much pain, may he give the world's riches to the one who made me suffer



Too much time is taken up

Too much time is taken up

Watching people suffer

Now I've got to take these drugs

And now I've got to take these drugs

So I don't see it over and over and over
