[Chorus]
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight

[Verse 1]
A cartoon in a ketamine
Jelly mixed with margarine
White doves from the war machine
Every body moving
Cocaine is for murderers
Codeine for the jurors
Caffeine been through all of us
Everybody horny
Crackwhores back in town again
Eggships sniffing benelyn
Burning all the oil again
Smoking makes you holy
Textin abbreviates the brain
Aspirin takes away the pain
Rock on, everyone the same
That's the way it is

[Chorus]
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight

[Verse 2]
Rohypnol like a chloroform
Sugar from the day you are born
Washed out like a dinosaur
Really don't believe it
Sticky sniffing superglue
Sulphates keeps you in a zoo
Monkeys turning into you
Everybody horny
Acid good up on the moors
Gimpo stops you getting bored
Beta's busy making laws
Procaine stops you screaming
Librium for anxiety
Drinking is our society
Guessing out of tirety
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Even when we're pissed
That's the way it is
That's the way it is


[Chorus]
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
