FOR THE KIDS ON DRUGS



Good news is you don't have to
 experiment on drugs
It was done by some of your
 parents and neighbors
Some are still doing it today
You will recognize them by the
 shaking and staring off in space
A tell tale sign is the oxygen
placed in their noses
Many of whom experimented on cigarettes
Don't they look happy sitting
around the Casinos in their wheelchairs?
Isn't the smell around them just lovely
But you really don't get to see
the really long term experimentalists
They must really like the stuff
Willing to die young, steal, leave families
spend their lives in jail
Some dads have never even met their children
Did you know the results have come in
and smoking cigarettes can end ones life?
At the very least you get to go through operations
And get this one--Drugs are actually addictive
Those dudes standing and driving expensive cars
Most often become the same ones lifting weights
and sitting on benches on skid row trying to sleep
I thank my stars they did the experimenting for me
I am sure glad I don't have to be the one to do it
They don't get out much anymore
Mostly spend the day lifting weights
and checking out each other tattoos.
You know, "Black power--White power, Latino power."
