Jane's Addiction was an influential alternative rock band from Los Angeles formed in 1986. They dissolved in 1991, but briefly returned to tour in 1997 and subsequently vanished shortly thereafter. They officially returned in 2001, before breaking up yet again in 2004. The band was influenced by punk, gothic rock, metal, funk, hard rock, and psychedelic styles; lead singer Perry Farrell once described the band as a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Brains. The band's name refers to Jane Bainter, a now ex-heroin addict, who was a housemate of the band.

Jane's Addiction

Power tripping your luck is switched
Oh, so now it's funny
When it’s your turn is to laugh
You go poke the running joke!
Scoring points with God
Get no perfect marks
But your grades keep falling
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling
Porn chick calls herself a therapist
Call it what it is…
For all the money in the world
We'll go to war for backward heroes
Come to rescue you
Just to lien on you
With interests soaring
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling
Please believe
We live and breathe
Through native tongue
And poetry
All those years we believed, yeah
Scoring points with God
Get no perfect marks
But your grades keep falling
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling
