When we were kids all we used to drink was Coke and ice

Nowadays kids are all about the Coke and ice

This war on drugs is a joke

Since the beginning of time there ain't ever been a dealer that's broke

I don't condone getting high, but condone getting by

Can't you leave me alone while I'm getting mine

I'm, trying to practice my lines

Off a mirror, backstage, no shame, my moment to shine

Saturday nights are live like this life is Hollywood

But just because you feel good doesn't mean you're OK

Keep your eye on the ball like it's croquet

Cause even a president can fall prey to cocaine

We're all chasing a rush, maybe you're chasing a dream, chasing yourself

Or making a bust

Either way I prey you making a buck

I think they'd take less drugs if the rest of us gave more love





I've been living so wrong, for so long, and I can't change my ways

I won't ever stop trying but I can't get up out this place

Will I be here forever?

Is this forever?





From Bob Marley to Bob Dylan

From Picasso to Presley

To John Lennon, to Keith Richards

The brightest minds of our time have been addicted

Or 'enlighted', depending on how you paint the picture

Johnny Cash didn't sleep for days

Hendrix had the whole damn world in a purple haze

Cobain slept on the H-train next to Ray

Round the world Ozzy Osbourne was leading the way

From the top of the Hollywood Hills to the favelas in Brazil

Rich and poor hands are reaching for pills

The truth's inconvenient but cigarettes kill

A lot of people that don't think cigarettes will

Leave em' real short of breath with a hospital bill

Who would have thought that that product would be profitable?

Guess we're terminal by nature - it was bound to happen

That's why death sells like this life is going out of fasion





I've been living so wrong, for so long, and I can't change my ways

I won't ever stop trying but I can't get up out this place

Will I be here forever?

Is this forever?





Ey, let's take a look what we have

White male qualified for rehab

Bad habits took him to a place that he didn't want to be at

It ain't nothing to brag about

Those high hopes did nothing but drag him down

He was looking for a way to get the madness out

Jose Cuervo couldn't pull the answers out

But he, never claimed to be a victim

Just felt frustrated that he screamed and the world didn't listen

The world didn't get him

Felt like his feet stuck in setting concrete when he's stepping

Brave new world outside and he's missing it, out of it

Soon side effects become significant, he's floundering

Down again, jammed, can't get with the program

One man's tale of a chemical romance





Blaze it up! Blaze it up! Blaze it up!





I've been living so wrong, for so long, and I can't change my ways

I won't ever stop trying but I can't get up out this place

Will I be here forever?

Is this forever?
