'' Don't Ever Drink And Drive ''

I never thought about accidents,
when driving my souped up car,
I thought I was invincible,
admired from afar.

There was no one else could touch me,
those others could only dream.
when I had that drink in me,
my God was I was supreme,

I always had a drink or two,
before getting behind the wheel,
it gives you far more confidence,
it enhances the way you feel.

I didn't need to drink too much,
just enough to get me by,
laws were made to be broken,
to me they don't apply.

Nobody would accompany me,
which always made me think,
are they scared because I drive so fast,
or because I drive with drink.

I thought my friends admired me,
they'd say I was over zealous,
their comments only made me think,
that they were all just jealous.

Little did I realise then,
my actions made them frown,
instead of being their hero,
I was looked on as a clown.

Driving with a drink in me,
had never held any fears,
I never gave it a second thought,
that it would all end in tears.

I drove down to the bar one night,
I sat and had a few,
then I jumped behind the wheel,
I'd show them what I could do.

As I sped along the highway,
here was I the king,
I thought I was immortal,
what more could my life bring.

Just then there was a mighty crash,
I didn't know what I'd done,
there was blood and gore everywhere,
this was no longer fun.

As I left my car I froze with fear,
there were bodies all around,
they were lying lifeless,
not one of them made a sound.

I knew I had to run away,
what a low down skunk,
for I knew that I'd be sent to jail,
for driving whilst drunk.

Just then the police approached me,
I didn't know what to say,
they told me I'd caused total carnage,
for that there'd  be a price to pay.

Tonight there'll be families grieving,
what I've done they won't forgive,
because of my selfish actions,
their kin no longer live.

Those parent have lost their children,
yes it's solely down to me,
a thoughtless drunken Bastard,
so I ask you all to see.

Our actions have a consequence,
some good while others bad,
to drive with just one drink in you,
is totally and utterly mad.

Families are left distraught with grief,
because I just didn't care,
I chose to drive while I was drunk,
now they're left in total despair.

Millions do it every day,
without a second thought,
it really only hits you,
when, not if you're caught.

I'm lucky, I'm in prison now,
alive and in my bed,
the victims weren't so fortunate,
five of them are dead.

It's too late to say I'm sorry now,
but while I'm still alive,
please listen to my plea to you,
