Relation to YOUtopia #
Oli called YOUtopia and Kool-Aid two sides of the same coin in an interview on NexGen.
YOUtopia is about a paradise/dream, while KoolAid is described as more of a coma.

Lyrics
We are the children of the devolution The infamous martyrs, the scars on the sun Asphyxiating with a smile on your face While they pull your teeth out, one by one Is this what you wanted? (No) Do you want some more? (Yes) D-generation Who’s keeping score?
‘Cause you got a taste now, drank the Kool-Aid by the jug So suffer your fate, oh, come here and give me a hug Nobody loves you like I love you, oh, my dear But you should’ve known that this was gonna end in tears
Such a sucker for an execution The void is a vampire, fat on our blood Domesticated like a cat in a cage While they try their hand at playing God Is this what you wanted? (No) Do you want some more? (Yeah) D-generation Afraid there’s no cure
‘Cause you got a taste now, drank the Kool-Aid by the jug So suffer your fate, oh, come here and give me a hug Nobody loves you like I love you, oh, my dear (oh, oh-oh) But you should’ve known that this was gonna end in tears
I got my (hands around your throat, I love the way you choke) ‘Cause I am yours and you are mine, I’ll never let you go My hands around your throat, I love the way you choke ‘Cause I am yours and you are mine, I’ll never let you go I’ll never let you go
Get the fuck up Yeah
‘Cause you got a taste now, drank the Kool-Aid by the jug So suffer your fate, oh, come here and give me a hug Nobody loves you like I love you, oh, my dear You should’ve known, you should’ve known You should’ve known, that this was gonna end in tears You should’ve known
What if it’s like La, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, I forgot something La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, yeah La-la-la That this was gonna end in tears
Or some shit like that
