Hey little girl, I’ve got something you need.
A pill to make you pretty, oh yes indeed!
Just one taste and you’ll be mine
Your head will spin, you’ll feel so fine!
I’m cunning, baffling, and powerful too.
I’m larger than life and bigger than you.
I’ll tell you things that aren’t even true
For me there isn’t anything, you won’t do.
At first, I’ll be your very best friend
I’ll love you to DEATH – till the very end
I’ll steal your thoughts, but you won’t know
It’s no longer you who will be running the show
Your life will change right away
You’ll wake up wanting me, every day.
People will tell you to leave me alone
But you won’t listen, for you I own
No one else can interfere.
For if they do, they’ll pay dear
And I won’t settle just for you,
I want your entire family too.
I want their finances and peace of mind
I want them hopeless, broken, and no longer kind.
For its greed and hate that make me tick
I’ll feed you blame and resentment, to make you sick
It’s really easy, you should see
I’m amazed you don’t ever catch on to me.
They build me shelters and safe injection sites
Seems me killing you, really is my right
But you won’t know that, not at first
Our relationship builds, for me you’ll thirst
I’m the plague, I’m death. I’m immoral and cruel
You’ll give me your life – oh what a fool.
What starts out as fun, quickly disappears.
I’ll age you faster than your years
Your looks will change, your eyes will cloud,
As I wrap you in my deathly shroud.
You dance like a puppet to my commands.
Our days are numbered, together we stand.
I’ll use you up, and spit you out.
I’ll end your life without a doubt.
They’ll be many to choose from, when you are gone.
Just one little pill and I move on.
I’m in your homes, and your schools. I’m on the streets.
I’m all dressed up and I look so sweet.
One in seven is infected by me.
But I want you all and soon it may be.
Come here little boy. Have a toke.
You’ll find euphoria in my smoke.
