I read the newspapers and glossy magazines

Watch cable news on the television screens

And amidst the thirty-second commercial clips

And amongst the models with their pretty lips

I find mankind’s drug of choice.

 

It’s not the crazy horse and it’s not blow

Meth gets too high and weed is too low.

Nothing can compete with our favorite flavor

This little fix has found universal favor;

We’ve spoken with a united voice.

 

Oh it’s everything and nothing all at once

And just one hit from you is all it wants

And then you’re into its seductive grasp

Under you go with naught but a gasp;

Far too soon you’ll be drowned.

 

And like a lover’s kiss at the goodbye door

We’re always left wanting more and more

Of this, our first choice and our last resort,

For we made a dreadful mistake in the royal court;

It seems to be a joker we’ve crowned.

 

Oh yes, this drug it has opened our eyes…

We’re addicted to comfort; can you see its lies?
