Mind Eraser, No Chaser Lyrics

[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
Now run along face lift
If it kills, I got news: it ain't a side effect
Call it a full reject or
A fuel-injected, type-corrected, teenage obstacle

[Pre-Chorus: Josh Homme, Dave Grohl]
All I wanna do is have my mind erased
I'm begging ya, pleading ya, stop coma-teasing us all
Drug company, where's a pill for me?
I call it mind eraser, no chaser at all

On permanent leave of everything
Law-biding, dick-riding, fun police, leave us alone
Dulling up the edge of a razor blade
What does it mean when the knife and the hand are your own?

[Chorus: Josh Homme]
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
"Understanding is cruel," the monkey said as it launched to space
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away
(Woo!)

[Verse 2: Josh Homme]
Robotic mom bought me
D-I-Y kit lobotomy
It's a tuck, taste, dance craze, movie of the week
You'll buy the doll, kick-a the ball, then piss on the sheets
[Pre-Chorus: Josh Homme, Dave Grohl]
All I want to do is have my mind erased
I'm begging ya, pleading ya, stop coma-teasing us all
Drug company, where's a pill for me?
It reads "mind eraser, no chaser" in bright lights

On permanent leave from everything
New age goose step on a karma-collision
Dulling up the edge of a razor blade
What does it mean when the knife and the hand are your own?

[Interlude: Josh Homme]
Ooh, your own
On your own

[Chorus: Josh Homme]
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
"Understanding is cruel," the monkey said as it launched to space
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away


[Outro: Josh Homme]
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
I know that I am your dangerous side effect
I know that I am your dangerous side effect
Well I'm not sorry to say we just ran out of give a shit
(Yeah!) Yeah
Oh
(Woo!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
