Addictions

Sammy was a betting man who's money always running thin,
 He never thinks to save a dime. And when he's good up for,
 He'll rob the closest liquor store, if he don't get caught
 Well then it ain't no crime!
 It ain't no crime
 Well Sammy moved to Reno with his best friend Tino who only
 Says his prayers in the best of casinos. But sam was down
 On his luck, he took Tino's truck. A case of grand theft
 Auto in the case of Nevada, that's for sure. There
 Ain't no cuuuuure, he'll do it again, like he's done it
 Before.
 Well everybody's got their addictions, and if you
 Listen hard you'll see: That everyone who lives
 Beneath the sun discovers something that they need.
 Now we all have our different problems, but there
 Are those who still pretend... That it's okay, but
 To each of them I say: Well nah, you better think
 Again
 And it goes
 (Riff x4)
 Danny works a nine-to-five, wears a fancy suit and tie,
 But the only thing that keeps him sane... Is the comfort
 Of the local bar, he thinks of last call, just one
 More drink to numb the paaaiin.
 Oooooooooh, we all got pain
 He's got himself a ball-and-chain, who smokes a pack a day
 Since she was nearly age 13. a nicotine fiend if you know what
 I mean, now she's yellin' at the kids for smokin' all that
 Weed.
 Well don't get angry, don't you use brute force, I know
 My stories almost set the trial off course. But I don't
 Lie, and I don't mean to sound dramatic, but my my
 Sound's fuckin' hotter than your upstaiors attic there's
 A will, there's a way, for the people of today livin'
 A lifetime on the bottom of a cruel society. Stay strong
 And know right from wrong. Back to the riff that goes...
 (Riff x4)
 Sammy planned his get away, and he was on his way to
 Tijuana, Mexico. His luck, he thought, was on his
 Side as he drove Tino's ride but little did he know
 That drunk drivin' with one eye closed was Danny
 Comin' the other way on a dogged-up road. He hit
 The breaks, it was way too late, and the collision
 Killed them both.
 Well Danny leaves his wife a widow, dressed in black
 And Sammy leaves his life for trying to gamble in
 Stacks. Sad but true, oh what are you gonna do when
 It's way too late for turning back?
 Well everybody's got their addictions, and if you
 Listen hard you'll see: That everyone who lives
 Beneath the sun discovers something that they need.
 Now we all have our different problems, but there
 Are those who still pretend... that nothing's wrong,
 But if you wait too long, it'll kill you in the end,
 OooOoooOooohh
