Drugged Along

I took the drug for all it's worth and talked the drug from death to birth And wondered why I walked the walk of drugged for mice and not for Earth And told myself what I would know when all who others said I'm stoned Told death for me when I had known what all along was I to doned And all I thought was left to tone when only those who celebrate Left me to live without a date of what it was to concentrate For when I learned what I had done my lips were sealed and I was one With what I'd learned from other's tongue of lost for now and cost for stun That soon I learned to be as best what all would say had been a test Of freedom come for those too late and I not sure just how to gait That even I was saved by dumb when others left me to succumb So I could see that I was led in failing all with honest gum And I could say I had belonged to what was right and got along To take what I gave failing grade to all mankind who changed as wrong
