Ch Ch Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes

RANDOM REMEMBRANCES

Listen to what I am going to talk about
Because I swear there is no doubt
Listen to the following truth I have to say
Us junkies have changed the world in a very profound way

Next time your baby is crying for his pacifier feel the middle 
There’s a hard tube to stop it from squeezing all the way and it wasn’t there when we were 
little
They put it there because junkies were using pacifiers to shoot heroin, cocaine and speed
Junkies required a lot of things back then and an old fashioned pacifier was definitely a need

When we were growing up and you had a really bad cough there was syrup for you to drink 
And now each time I take something for a cold it makes me stop and think
No one did this because they hated addicts or because they were just plain mean
But I remember, back in the days of old when cough medicine came with codeine

And as the nation grew bigger so did the problem at hand
Things were going down only us addicts could understand
We’ve changed these things and if I had more time I’d tell you the rest
Oh yes, us junkies are also responsible for the random piss test

YO! D.   My infinite pal…..good huh….then how come ain’t no one but you
              And a handful (if they were Mr. Travis Ian’s size) of people
                         Are reading me?……from America to you’re your town in Heaven!
