Trust Your Mechanic lyrics

TV invents a disease, you think you have

So you buy our drugs and soon you depend on them

Pain is in your mind gotcha commin' back for more

Again and again and again and again

Gonna rip you off

Rip you off

Doctor says you need surgery now

Feelin' good 'til the side effects fuck up something else

You're ensnared by the medicine man

Paying up the ass again and again

Gonna rip you off

Trust your mechanic to mend your car

Bring it in to his garage

He tightens and loosens a few spare parts

One thing's fixed, another falls apart

And the rich eat you

A magazine says your face don't look quite right

Unless you wear our brand new wonder creme tonight

Never look right again unless you grease your skin

Again and again and again and again

Gonna rip you off

Told you're depressed, so of course you see the psychiatrist

Right when you hit your neuroses' roots, he confuses you

He fucks your head up worse, gotcha feeling helpless

You're coming back for more again and again

Gonna rip you off

Rip you off

Trust your mechanic to make you well

You're seeing an awful lot of him now

The quicker he makes your life fall apart

The more money you put in his pockets

Trust your mechanic to plug your holes

Trust him to make more somewhere else

Trust your mechanic, he'll always come through

And rip you off
