Track: 7

They saw him from the rooftops
They saw him from way up there
They just couldn't come down to where he was 
They studied for years on end 
They were always confused 
They just couldn't believe how he abused himself
  It's with us all the time 
How he abused himself 
And we abuse ourselves 

They took lots of pictures 
Hidden microphones 
All he wanted was to be left alone 
After years of footage and miles of tape 
They're on their way down to him and he can't wait 
To be with them all the time
We abuse ourselves and we abused ourselves 
It's with us all the time
We abuse ourselves and we abuse ourselves 

They were looking for answers to all the hits he sent 
There were way too many to document 
They settled on a theory that we all knew 
We just hide the fact that we abuse ourselves 
It's with us all the time
We abuse ourselves, we abuse ourselves

It's been with us all the time
We abuse ourselves, we abuse ourselves (etc)

Shot in the arm or a shot in the head 
It's killing me or all my friends
It spreads like a disease 
We all become with ease 
Blood balloons like a mushroom cloud  
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
Shot in the arm or a shot in the head 
It's killing me or all my friends
It spreads like a disease 
We all become with ease
Blood balloons like a mushroom cloud
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
The rush is loud, the rush is loud 
The rush is loud
