Cigarettes And Alcohol
Thanks to [email protected] for these lyrics.
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for
I was looking for some action
But all I found were cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
'Cos when it comes on top
You gotta make it happen!
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
'Cos when it comes on top
You gotta make it happen!
Cigarettes and alcohol (repeat and fade)

Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these, but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.

Teens Life Taken
a young teenager following the crowd
drugs and alcohol everywhere to be found
party time is what they say
it is time for us to play.
it is when we all get down
we have enough to go around.
then it happens unexpectedly, a life is taken
but it's not you or me!
then you find out that it was a friend
who you partied with till the very end.
he got behind the wheel of a car
but didn't travel very far
he hit the gas instead of the brake
but by then it was much too late.
he hit the lamp post doing about eighty three
it was something that he did not foresee.
how many more stories must you hear
before it becomes crystal clear.
getting high is not the key
in that car is not where you want to be.
just think of the friend that you may have lost
was the party worth the cost?
think of what they may have become
if alcohol or drugs they had not done.

The Odd Person Out
You don't take narcotics or you don't smoke tobacco
And you don't drink spirits, wine or stout
And you are what is known as a cleanskin
But at times you feel the odd one out.
You don't party till late at the weekend
At home you do prefer to stay
Still you are an honourable person
Despite of you what others say.
Some others dismiss you as boring
Because you do not partake in their fun
Your great joy in life is in Nature
A walk by the lake in the sun.
You don't play sports or go to watch football
You go to the art gallery instead
And you write poems and plays and draw pictures
And hundreds of books about Nature you've read.
To most others you are very different
You don't drink alcohol, take drugs or watch football
But 'tis our different interests that make us interesting
And no two are exactly the same after all.

No doubt alcohol, tobacco, and so forth, are things that a saint must avoid, but sainthood is a thing that human beings must avoid.

One Chance
Why do we abuse our bodies,
when we are young,
with alcohol, cigarettes, drugs,
and eating too much food?
We never see the consequences of our actions,
until it is too late.
By the time some of us realise,
we are passed the point of no return.
Those who get a warning, a second chance,
had better listen and take heed.
Teach the young the lesson.
We only get one chance,
better to learn it while your young,
than never learn it at all.
You only have one life,
better live it to the full.
Don’t desecrate your body,
you’ll need it when your old.

My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication - it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness - it is all that I have - and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict - alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.

We Are All On Drugs
When you're out with your friends
In your new Mercedes-Benz
And you're on drugs
And you show up late for school
'Cause you think you're really cool
When you're on drugs
And you put on your headphones
And you step into the zone
When you're on drugs
But the world don't care
If you are not there
'Cause you're on drugs
GIVE IT TO ME
We are all on drugs yeah
Never getting enough (never get enough)
We are all on drugs yeah
Give me some of that stuff (WOO)
And you twitch in your seat
'Cause you wanna hit the street
When you're on drugs
And you cause such a fuss
'Cause there's no one you can trust
When you're on drugs
And the best of your days
Will vanish into haze
When you're on drugs
And you wish you can quit
'Cause you're really sick of it
But you're on drugs
GIVE IT TO ME
We are all on drugs yeah
Never getting enough (never get enough)
We are all on drugs yeah
Give me some of that stuff (WOO)
I wanna confiscate your drugs
I don't think I can get enough
We are all on drugs yeah
Never getting enough (never get enough)
We are all on drugs yeah
Give me some of that stuff (WOO)

Cigarretes Alcohol
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .
You gotta make it happen!
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when theres nothing worth working for?
Its a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .
You gotta make it happen!

where is Alex
Where is Alex?
He was a famous snooker player, who squandered his fortune
and talent. They all loved him to bits, they said, at his funeral.
His daughter read a poem. Drugs and alcohol had reduced him
to beg, in pubs, challenge amateur players for a game, getting
enough money for more booze and cigarettes.
A free soul, or a man ruled by his vices? A happy go lucky chap
who did as he pleased? Not a man beset by his failures, alone
on the darkest night? Five hundred mourners, florists made
a killing. He had lain death for a week in his flat, and no one
had bothered to ask: “Where is Alex?

Drugs, alcohol and ego. They are a bad mix.

Say ‘No’ to Drugs
I was a catastrophic mess
Utterly and completely useless
Alcohol has its limit
Unless you desire to hit rock bottom-pit
Do you want to get high?
Please say ‘No’ to drugs
Mellifluous music is plenty to make one fly high
Please say ‘No’ to drugs
Surplus of love is plenty to make one fly high
The consequence of this chemical substance
With family and friends, you find yourself at distance
You lose your focus and your mental balance
What is left is an entire nuisance without guidance
And it was always blowing a wind of hell
My mind was always thinking ‘Money, Drugs and Girls’
Deep down, I sensed snubbing cocaine
Was the only way to stop me from going insane!
I tried to find a corrective institution
Because telling lies was an addiction
My senses somewhere were vindictively bugged
And I was horrified at the mere thought of being a thug
Say ‘No’ to drugs
Say ‘Go’ to drugs
Say ‘Boo’ to drugs
And if you have said ‘Yes’, please just pull that plug

Hurt Myself
Ain't tried cigarettes
There is always alcohol
I could stay up all night long
Don't need to sleep at all
I've got credit cards
I could run'em up
I could play with knives
I could drink and drive
And if that ain't enough
If I need another way to hurt myself
If I really miss the heartache
If I wanna hear some empty promises
If I really need the pain
I know where to find you
If I need another way to hurt myself
I've got memories
I could dig'em up
I could play a losing head
Just to try my luck
Go out every night
Find someone to love
I could walk the wire
I could play with fire
And if that ain't enough
If I need another way to hurt myself
If I really miss the heartache
If I wanna hear some empty promises
If I really need the pain
I know where to find you
If I need another way to hurt myself
And if I wanna love somebody
Who wants me to be somebody else
Well, I know where to find you
If I need another way to hurt myself
Ain't tried cigarettes
There's always alcohol

First Time Emergent Teenagers
when we were first time emergent teenagers
my friends used social bond feel good drugs
teenage ties click friend stratum social bonds
acceptance is a prime in teenage friend cycles
I never did weed nor allure hard drugs
I used alcohol spirits to quiet raw flames
I never did weed nor hard trendy drugs
I was the drug burning body fuel to flames
