Who Would You Say Is Addicted
I swallow tablets every day,
They're required for my afflictions,
I never will get hooked on them,
They're all on repeat 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,
This conquers 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 just divine.
As I look at all my habits,
None of them hold fears,
I've smoked, I've drank and gambled,
I've shed my share of tears.
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 can boast without a doubt,
Without the need for altercation,
I don't have any issues,
My habits fill me with elation.
I really have a problem though,
With Alkies and those Junkies,
They drink too much and swallow drugs,
They're all a bunch of flunkies.
One needs his bevy every day,
While the other needs his dope,
They smoke their gear, drink all day,
For them there is no hope.
