[Refrain]
Tell me how you feeling, tell me how you feeling
Lyin' on nails, dancing on the ceiling
Long time coming but now you heard about me
How you gonna live without me?

[Verse 1]
Bitter pill, bitter pill
Generation time to kill
The killing time, suicide
But you and I, we're meant to spill
My head is spinning and I can't see clearly
I must have had too much, too real to share me

[Chorus]
Oh, we swallow the bitter pill
You can say what you will
Nobody's listening
Really got no reason to rebel
But we might as well
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)

[Refrain]
Tell me how you feeling, tell me how you feeling
Lyin' on nails, dancing on the ceiling
Long time coming but now you heard about me
How you gonna live without me?
[Verse 2]
Policy, she came and went
Useless if she can't pay rent
'Cause power rules, and power rules
And power rules, and

[Chorus]
Oh, we swallow the bitter pill
You can say what you will
Nobody's listening
Really got no reason to rebel
But we might as well
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
(Oh, courage for losers baby, you'll see, watch yourself today)
(Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter)
(Oh, courage for losers baby, look at what you give away)

[Chorus]
We swallow the bitter pill
You can say what you will
Nobody's listening
We swallow the bitter pill
You can say what you will
Nobody's listening

[Refrain]
Tell me how you feeling, tell me how you feeling
Lyin' on nails, dancing on the ceiling
Long time coming but now you heard about me
How you gonna live without me?
