the problem with lsd isnt availability, its the availability of pure lsd, it's now commonly laced with other drugs which effect the way it works in your system, or just poorly made with improvised ingredients since security has gotten tighter in the colleges/university labs where it had previously been made by poor chemistry students looking to supplement their incomes, a shame really
OK I guess the morgue thing does need some explaining.
No one does a damn thing, they all act like they are dead. Nothing ever happens in a small town. I usually blame that on the police state of small towns. People are so scared they slam on their brakes the moment a light turns yellow and if you try and walk home from a bar, they'll give you a ticket for public intoxication.
Police = City full of people at home doing nothing = Morgues
Toilets are over flowing = the place is full of crap
First part is about how there's police everywhere and there are frikkin mini malls and everything popping up right next to cow pastures.
Second part, his first gigs didn't go well, he didn't care, they were paying him to play. He kept his head up even in that dump. Dildo sun thing, I dunno
Third, go ahead with your old ideas, wave your flags, too many bugs nothing to kill them. Rock n roll life is nice but, I still gotta work.
@Squishydoodoo Don't want to be a spirit crusher but LSD was around the 60's and early 70's. Around the 90's more familiar drugs like heroin and meth was being used. I could be wrong though.
@AssassinateThisEzio nah, we could all get acid back then, but its way harder now. not that im really interested in doing it anymore. its interesting. an extremely hard drug to make, so just a few busts can really break the market. the only case i can think of where the government wins the drug war.
@NnysVelvetRevolver or meth. meth works pretty well too. you have to get pretty close to overdosing though if you really want to hallucinate. i strongly recommend it...
@Squishydoodoo Hmmm....Where are you from? Cuz here in Israel there's no problem getting some. Furthermore, I havent encountered any problems getting some in the last few years WHEREVER I 'triped' in the world. So just tell me where your from, and I'll know not to go there.
I really wish Beck would just drop the Dust Brothers and focus on this kind of shit. Not that his new music is bad, it's near to the best we've got, but his old stuff is divine.
This song is like where hippy meets grunge. Perfect for the 90's

Lyrics make sense if you're from a small town.
First part is about how there's police everywhere and there are frikkin mini malls and everything popping up right next to cow pastures.
Second part, his first gigs didn't go well, he didn't care, they were paying him to play. He kept his head up even in that dump. Dildo sun thing, I dunno
