Soma Of Love

I see Marlboro marijuana and menthol-flavoured weed
I see Pro Double Plus, "Now with added speed!"
I see state-sanctioned pills, stamped with the queen's head
I see children fed barbiturates when it's time for bed

I see Disney Funsize Trips sold in superstores
Inducing hallucinations of the seven dwarves
I see CDs, credit-cards, and ready-rolled notes: "all-in-one cocaine kits"
Free if you collect ten tokens from packets of Weetabix

I got mashed on hash from a hookah
And had a vision of the future
Decriminalisation and legalisation
Had lead to the above

In the soma of love
In the soma of love
In the soma of love
In the soma of love

I see tourniquets worn one day as fashion accessories
Emblazoned with pictures of boy bands and sporting celebrities
I see souvenir syringes of Eiffel Tower and Big Ben
And other novelty needles shaped cleverly like a pen

I see a chill-out couch in Starbucks, and new coffee varieties
Such as Magic Mushroom Moccas, and MDMA Ice Teas
I see valium endorsed by Frazier, Rohypnol by Cilla Black
I see take-away drive-thru dealers: McSkunk, McSkag, McCrack

I got mashed on hash from a hookah
And had a vision of the future
Commodification and commercialisation
Had lead to the above

In the soma of love
In the soma of love
In the soma of love
In the soma of love

Through the smoke of this dope-headed blur
I saw a kind of dystopia
Where drugs had become
As banal as bubblegum

In the soma of love
