Drugs
You started this off simple enough
It's not like pot is a drug
Certainly can't do any harm
And after all it's natural
You take a few puffs with a few of your friends
With no way of knowing you won't be content
You've heard it leads to stronger things
You say maybe for them but not for me
But then you are offered a little pick me up
As you're standing in line for a line of the stuff
It's only for fun it's not like you need
So you do a toot with the attitude of take it or leave
Then a friend says to you have you tried pills with booze
And you spend the whole night without an inkling or clue
Of where you are going or where you have been
Be careful of who you tend to call friend
Before you know you're left with little hope
Would anything have change if only you'd known
And to think this started off simple enough
After all it's not like pot is a drug
