Random Remembrances

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 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 © 2011.….free cee!
