Why do people sell their souls away

Just to ride the horse another day

They're all slaves to the heroin

But it's a war they'll never win

They'll never live to see the error of their ways



One foot in the grave

Ruled by the drugs they crave

It all began as a need for kicks

Now they'd sell their lives for a fix

Powerless to break those chains

There's only losses and there's never no gains

They only live and die as a slave

With one foot, one foot in the grave



It promised an escape but only lied

Master of the world they're trapped inside

The needle and the spoon only gave

A one - way ticket leading to the grave

And suffering until the day they die
