Pay Attention

A life with drugs and alcohol is not hard to achieve.
You do not live in a fable.
You know drugs do deceive 
The lies they weave
Make life very uncomfortable.

A life with drugs and alcohol is not hard to achieve 
For some reason you believe 
Their babble
You know drugs do deceive 
You won't get any relief
You are not able.

A life with drugs and alcohol is not hard to achieve 
Once you have a bad habit it is hard to retrieve 
Your mind and speech that has become a garble.
You know drugs do deceive.
A lot of people will grieve

Because you let drugs and alcohol take over your life
That was stable.

A life with drugs and alcohol is not hard to achieve 
You know drugs do deceive.
