It is always that I am
in control
I don’t shake and I sure don’t fold
just one
more line or so I am told
and you will automatically
fit the mould

candy, khat wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

sadly we just don’t get to see
that we are all trying to escape reality
what about those
millions
that choose to drink
or the poor who in their
glue
they sink

candy,  khat wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

what about all the
medicinal pills
not only the ones that give you thrills
I am talking about all the
pharmaceutical ones too
Like the ones that help when you feeling blue
what about the ones that help you
fall asleep
and all the others that safely in a draw you keep

candy, khat wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

come on it is time for us
to face the truth
life is not meant to be so empty and aloof
yet when you look around
before
you is all the proof
this is rampant and it is going
through the roof
or are we so weak and so uncouth

candy,  khat, wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

We need to ask
ourselves
how come we ended up like this
what is the truth that we really did miss
Is love to become an empty
ecstasy kiss
an evening of false exhilarating bliss
yet tomorrow how do you get
out of this
what is it that we really did miss

candy, khat, wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

or are we to escape like on
an acid trip
there is always the danger that you will flip your pip
Cokes cool and its quick and easy to do
it wont be long before its doing
you
Perhaps we could substitute
coke for cat
the stuff mixed in there is meant to
kill
a rat

candy,  khat, wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

What is it that society has
become
that we resort to this as our escape for fun.
And the truth is I am talking to
nearly every one
Mother, daughter, father and even son

candy, khat, wow, wow, wow
ecstasy pills and no desire for chow
crystal meth  your life is sure going to plow
not to long now before its ow, ow, ow

Yes, you are indeed right. There are many people who use this stuff to escape their various realities. Sometimes I wish there was something I could do, but unfortunately, it is what is, but it is good you wrote on this subject.

"It is always that I am

A very apt verse... I have heard this too many times to count and I'm sure I've probably said it as many times myself I am ashamed to say.

I enjoyed this a lot...
