"drunk On Red Rum 1"

"Drunk On Red rum" 


why must it be this way 
why must they do the things you do 
why must there be so much hurt and pain

turned out in to the cold 
bruised  by hard unthinking deeds

i think its just for the money 

so I fight a battle 
I can not win 
and fall victim to the  ones

who drink there fill 
and become 
drunk on red rum~

"Drunk On Red rum 2" 


must it be this way
dead rotten and so cold 
must the things you do
eat at the my soul and consume 
must there be so much 
laughter mix with pain

blood turned to forgotten dust   
and blacken bruise 
become harden
as to the liken of old memories
spread by drunken deeds

it is the greed of many men 
that Angels and demons 
fight a battle to win 
and many fall to be the victims 
who share no sin

and still the unclean 
they drink there fill 
and become 
drunk on red rum~
