Placebo are an alternative rock band consisting of Brian Molko (vocals, guitar), Stefan Olsdal (bass) and Steve Hewitt (drums). The band was founded when former Luxembourg schoolmates, who never actually spoke to eachother, Brian Molkoand Stefan Olsdalmet by accident at South Kensington tube station in 1994. Molko invited Olsdal to one of his gigs and Olsdal was impressed by Molko's vocals so they agreed on forming a band. While briefly known as Ashtray Heart, the band quickly settled on the name Placebo, by the drug that doesn't actually work. The band could not decide on a drummer at first with Steve Hewitt (drums) and Robert Schultzberg alternating on the spot.

Holocaust Lyrics

Placebo

Your eyes are almost dead
can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
You're sitting down to dress
and you're a mess
You look in the mirror
You look in your eyes
Then you realize
Everybody goes
leaving those
who fall behind
Everybody goes
as far as they can
They don't just care
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs
Your mother's dead
She said
"Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
you're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust
