Recorded live at the Blue Saloon in North Hollywood, California on October 31, 1998.

lyrics

Words and Music: Eddie Star, Anthony Griffith, Calvin Popejoy, Kelly Vaught

Verse #1

Mental shutdown I can’t think.
If I thought about what’s going on.
It would drive me to drink.
I just can’t deal with reality
I’m not a recluse or naïve.
I’m just trying to protect my sanity.

Chorus

Shot myself with Novocain.
My heart and soul are Numb.
I can’t feel the pain.
Shot myself with Novocain.
I feel like I’m going insane.

Verse #2

Crime and violence everywhere
None of the politicians seem to care.
Ask yourself don’t you feel?
Or do you deny anything that’s real.
Sometimes life can be so strange
A revolution is coming I can feel a change.

Chorus

Guitar solo

Verse #3

Every time I turn on the TV news
I have to change the channel cause I get the blues
I have to be numb I just can’t cope.
Sometimes I wonder if there is any hope.
Sometimes life can be so strange
A revolution is coming I can feel a change.

Chorus

Ad lib till end.
