The Coke Heads

The coke heads in the back room are drinking cheap red wine Narcotics and alcoholics are here to pass the time There bull stories sounding like a movie caught in time Some have all the problems, but some just have the time The feeling never leaves you as you do another line This stuffs half expensive as you do line to line to line The wallpaper is ugly, and the place just smells like grime The girls and boys are laughing like it’s going to be some crime When they were born, the expectations were high up on the list There parents thought the private schools would give you just the kick But now your just another part of this awful mess To get up in the morning is causing much distress Your teeth are loose your all just skin and bone Your rather fly than feed yourself now you all alone. Pull the plug on everything and flush me down the loo I can take another pill or do another line
