Lyrics
Methamphetamine
Poor little girl, what will become, of everything everything
she dreams of
will- it- shatter all her dreams
before she is a teen, a boy gives her a little speed
poor big girl, how she rebels, party all night, give em hell
but? she?s afraid, she gets so scared, unsettled by the world
ahead
but what she dreams of , with a little meth, and it?s all done
far off dad, wasted mom, who will tell her right from wrong
noth-ing to read, dull her mind on the tv screen
and all that she dreams, she?s so sure she can?t succeed
since she?s a alone, the latchkey girl hates going home
and all that she dreams, she?s so sure she can?t succeed
since she?s a alone, the latchkey girl.....
from any guilt and any sin, deliver her o lord, at least one gift
and any illness of the spirit, deliver her deliver her take her
in
to the Saints who?s bell a rings, now?s the time to do you thing
from any illness of her body, deliver her, she?s now trusting
reflection, rest we all need, she?s got 20 years of no sleep
she-thought she?d find peace, with-a-little meth-am-phetamine
the drug pleasure much it brings, but the drug precipitates more
pain
the drug to her demise it sings, chorus to an early grave
and though she should be in her prime, her skin looks like she?s 69
she still thinks she is on fire, the drug?s induced her alz-heimer
the end is near soon you?ll be free, St Joseph will take care of thee
you had no chance don?t be angry, St. Martin will take care of thee
the end is near, you?ll soon be free, St Basil will take care of thee
