How can something so cliche, something so pathetic

Something so stupid be regarded as poetic

With mum on methadone and daddy on the nod

It's a picture full of death a syringe full of snot



You shoot up, you die. You shoot up, you die

And if your body lives, then you die inside



Another paper, another shot

Is the rust worth the risk, fuck no it's not

Our generation should be smart enough to know

The syringe, the gun, your life you blow



You shoot up, you die, you shoot up, you die

A false sense of security, you shoot up you die.

And now it's too late to change your mind.



Your life is empty, you fill it up with smack

Too much one night you end up on your back

You say you don't care, you're not afraid of dying

Now you're on a respirator and all your friends are crying

And now it's too late to change your mind!
