State Of The Union
That nice easy mark at the edge of the park Was a slam dunk if ever I saw one I don't know what happened, I just let it go by I guess maybe out of respect
This old town is my home, and I'm not so far gone That I don't feel like anyone else And it didn't seem right to add to the wrong I decided to get me some help
If not now then when? I was asking myself, Over and over again Make it right, get free, get rid of the junk I've heard it can happen that way
I went down to the clinic on a hundred and tenth And got on the methadone program I waited on line every morning at nine For my little white cup, my reprieve
It was going OK, I was feeling alright I even got back with my daughter I lost a few friends, who were anything but And just took it one day at time
If not now then when, I kept asking myself Over and over again Make it right, get free, get rid of the junk They say it can happen that way
I can't say for sure how it all fell apart 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 One thing just led to another Next thing I knew I had stolen a car I was flying straight up to the Bronx
Must've lost the old touch, I blew through a toll They caught me just outside of Rye Sporting all that remained of my new-found resolve A shirt that said NYPD
Some shred of my soul could almost believe That the Lord sent those cruisers for me Make it right, get free, get rid of the junk But it don't always happen that way
At the half-way house we're all sitting around Watching the State of the Union And I'm rolling that stone right back up the hill Watching out for the shit coming down
The President's up there grining that grin Thinking he's some kind of John Wayne We're howling and jeering all his talk about shooting And drilling our way out of this
If not now then when, we're all asking ourselves Over and over again Make it right? Get free? Get rid of the junk? But it don't always happen that way
