Ode To Drugs

Ode to Drugs People are you there? Tell ‘em to care! Beggars and thieves covered by night Did you do it for spite? Crack head crying on the corner, run to the church run Are you spun? Cocaine man, does it sting? Does the weed make your cough sing? Feel the bite, hold the smoke tight Hail to the king, give him your life Get your pills, just over the hill Another pipe ride to the sky Pray, Pain, Pride Heroine high, run it dry Alcohol lies, a crowd dies Fight ye conscious, Fight right Crawl out from the dark side Meth head running by, witness many births of light? Scream for sight Gather up the kids, call your wife Look down, beneath, and behind Purple storm, glowing acid flight A silent kite drifts light To the gone, treat and trick Is your numbness now complete? Remember the pain, mistress deep Look at the sand, remember the land Let go, don’t hold a stormy oceans hand.
