• It is significant comment on the victory of science over magic that were someone to say ‘if I put this pill in your beer it will explode,’ we might believe them; but were they to cry ‘if I pronounce this spell over your beer it will go flat,’ we should remain incredulous and Paracelsus, the Alchemists, Aleister Crowley and all the Magi have lived in vain. Yet when I read science I turn magical; when I study magic, scientific.

• We won't dispassionately investigate or rationally debate which drugs do what damage and whether or how much of that damage is the result of criminalization. We'd rather work ourselves into a screaming fit of puritanism and then go home and take a pill.

• Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
  Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying
  That rush, that drug, that dope
  Those pills, that crumb, that roach
  Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug
  and growing up nobody ever does
  Until your stuck, lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I've become
  Swore I was goin' to be someone
  And growing up everyone always does
  We sell our dreams and our potential
  To escape through that buzz

• Life is like a box of chocolates, you fill your body with toxins,
  And amoxicillin and penicillin to cure your illness.

  Prescribing me pills that make me ill, just to comfort me.

• I'm caught up in the system where the blind lead the blind
  And this artist only speaks on the Signs of the Time.

  They say I'm just like my father, bold and too cold.
