[Verse 1]
My throat is closing
Got cotton wool for eyes
I can't see clear through my opaque glass until you cut the tie
The youth are broken
Wonderin' in empty minds
Scream your words silently
'Cause they are not your kind, yeah

[Chorus]
Is it a placebo, a placebo, baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, a placebo?
My money always shows

[Verse 2]
My head is green, my hands are black
I'm telling you, I'll have a heart attack
'Cause my doctor is my therapist
And this cold is causing me a giant cyst
'Cause the youth are broken
Wonderin' in empty minds
Scream your words silently
'Cause they are not your kind, yeah

[Chorus]
Is it a placebo, a placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, a placebo?
Your money always shows
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
This way is no life choice
It's up for no debate
But you'll wear my clothes, you'll wear my face
This money is the race

[Chorus]
Is it a placebo, a placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, a placebo?
Your money always—
Is it a placebo, a placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, a placebo?
Your money always shows
