The Dope Show Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The drugs, they say, make you feel so hollow
We love in vain, narcissistic, so shallow
Cops and queers, to swim, you have to swallow
Hate today, no love for tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all stars now, in the dope show
We're all stars now, in the dope show
We're all stars now

[Chorus]
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

[Post-Chorus]
We're all stars, now, in the dope show
We're all stars, now, in the dope show

[Refrain]
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not, then they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not, then they love another
[Verse 2]
The drugs, they say, made in California
(We love) we love your face, we'd really like to sell you
Cops and queers make good-looking models
I hate today, who will I wake up with tomorrow?

[Chorus]
There's lot's of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

[Refrain]
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not, then they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not, then they love another

[Chorus]
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind

[Outro]
We're all stars, now, in the dope show
We're all stars, now, in the dope show
We're all stars, now, in the dope show
We're all stars, now, in the dope show

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 [?]
