Looka here

I'm gon' tell you a story

About two friends

Whom I known

And the whole world knowed 'em

The one and only

Jimi Hendrix

And Janis Joplin

Who passed on

From the needle

They O.D.'d

Ah what a big loss

To this wonderful world

's Sad...



Dope addicts, dope addicts

You better watch yourself

Dope addicts, dope addicts

You got to watch yourself

You one of these days, one of these days

You might pass on

Stop shootin' no needle

And stop swallowin' that LSD

Stop shootin' no needles

And stop swallowin' in those pills

That needle's too heavy

Your heart can't take it none

Hey hey

I know, so many young folks

They're hooked, they're doomed to die

So many young folks

They're hooked, they're doomed to die

You better try and kick it

But you can't last long this way

Yeah...



Drug addict, drug addict

You better wake up and get wise

Drug addict, drug addict

You better wake up and get wise

Your days are numbered, your days are numbered

Your day you just don't know

You better try and kick it

You better try and kick it

That needle is too heavy for ya

It's too heavy

Hey, it's too heavy

It's too heavy for your heart, for your heart

Hey hey

It's too heavy

It's too heavy

You better kick it right now

I know you better kick it

I know it's hard

You better suffer and kick it

You better suffer and kick it

You got to suffer some

To kick

Hey it's too havy for you
