'' Who Would You Say Is Addicted ''

I swallow tablets every day,
because of my afflictions,
I never will get hooked on them,
for they're all on my prescriptions.

I drink some alcohol every day,
just to be sociable you understand,
I buy it from the pubs and shops,
but I never get out of hand.

I take a pill before I drink,
to subdue my raw aggression,
I also take another one,
to conquer my depression.

I gain comfort from my pills and booze,
so with my appetite to whet,
I go and get my lighter,
then smoke a cigarette.

I also frequent the bookies,
where I like to put on a line,
although I usually lose my stake,
to gamble is divine.

As I look at all my habits,
none of them hold fears,
I've smoked, I've drank and gambled,
for many, many years.

Everything thing I do in life,
I stay well within the law,
as I look upon this life of mine,
I cannot find one flaw.

I really have a problem though,
with Alkies and bloody Junkies,
they drink too much, take bloody drugs,
they're just a bunch of flunkies.

One needs his bevy every day,
the other needs his dope,
they smoke and drink day in day out,
for them there is no hope.

They swallow pills like sweeties,
some of them inject,
the police should just arrest them all,
the public to protect.

They gamble daily with their lives,
it really makes you sick,
they have a choice the same as me,
I'm clever, they're all thick.

They'll make the claim they're like that,
because they're all oppressed,
they need to take their drink and drugs,
because they are depressed.

Most of what they do in life,
is done without a thought,
they carry out illegal acts,
then hope they don't get caught.

Who do they think they're kidding,
they're just a bunch of thugs,
why can't they live the same as me,
lay off the booze and drugs.

They need to stop this gambling,
the drugs and all the drink,
the depression and the violence,
are the result of this crucial link.

When you look at both these stories,
although equally afflicted,
you be judge and jury,
