The Green Bean

Half a pill is all I need; It's all I can afford. I peel the skin off carefully; To keep from getting bored. Half a pill is all I need; I don't know what to say. Just give me one more half a pill, And I will pay you next payday. Half a pill is all I need; I don't need any more. I'll cut it up into a line; The feeling will make me soar! Half a pill is all I need; Can't you see my pain? This stuff is so addicting; It's worse than pure cocaine. Half a pill is all I need to scratch this little itch. With all the money I spent on this drug, You'd have to think I was rich. Half a pill is all I need; To keep me on my toes. While I get another half a pill, And snort it up my nose. Half a pill is all I need; If I want to I can quit. All I'd need to do is stop, And I'll be over it. Half a pill is all I need; It will help me fall asleep. If my mother new what I was doing, She's surely sob and weep. So just give me one more half a pill; And after that I'm through! Just give me half a pill; I'm sick of begging you! Half a pill is all I need; I live this evil lie. If I don't quit sometime soon, I'm surely going to die.
