I've put a couple of light hearted songs on recently so here's something a bit deeper

Chemical Dependency


Verse 1

I had a friend got hooked on drugs
To free himself from the daily drudge
He thought he could float to the moon
On a Reefer or a silver spoon
But as he floated he descended
Was not the guy that I befriended
With shaking hands, pupils dilated
His need for fixes never sated
I watched the unfolding tragic scene
Tried so hard to intervene

Chorus

Drugs don't answer
Any questions
Just fill the brain
With mad reflections
You won't find serenity
From chemical dependency

Verse 2

I knew a man who abused drink
To the depths this man did sink
He got punchy, started fights
Went home at night and beat his spouse
One day she snapped and ran away
She took the kids and sold the house
Now he's homeless begs on the street
People throw coins at his feet
He makes some cash with the Big Issue
Rings his Wife to say I miss you
But she has no time for his pleas
Wounds may heal, not memories

Chorus

Drugs don't answer
Any questions
Just fill the brain
With mad reflections
You won't find serenity
With Chemical Dependency

Verse 3

A lonely Housewife
Gets prescribed Valium
Her life it seems is so humdrum
To Doctors they were magic beads
These Pills that fulfilled patients needs
But these Pills did not address
The reason why she's so depressed
They just led to a new affliction
A prescriptive Drug addiction

Chorus

Drugs don't answer
Any questions
Just fill the brain
With mad reflections
You won't find serenity
With Chemical Dependency
