lyrics

I’ll Never Be The Same (Addiction) lyrics
An elephant’s in the room we can’t ignore
Affecting everyone whether rich or poor
Hurting millions of people everywhere
Who wants to know, who really cares?

Don’t trust my doctor to cure my ills
As he prescribes me opioid pills
It’s like giving candy to a baby
Once I’m hooked, who will save me, who will save me?

They sure help to take away the pain
But man how they screw up my brain
How I need them everyday
I need them more than I can say

They cut off the pain to my brain
But I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same again
They cut off the pain to my brain
But I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same again

You could be big, you could be small
Opioid addiction affects us all
Could be your neighbour or the guy at work
Trying their best to hide their hurt

So many getting rich from other’s pain
Their lives will never be the same again
But if they’re legal they can’t do harm
If you call and I don’t answer, please raise the alarm

Don’t wanna feel no pain no more
I’ll get more from the candy store
Think I’ll order more on-line
Won’t need to see a doctor this time

They cut off the pain to my brain
But I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same again
They cut off the pain to my brain
But I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same again

Rehab is where I am bound
There’s at least one in every big town
They serve cold turkey with four stars
Pay a fortune to stay behind bars

Must go through it to get clean
Might not be nice to know, might get angry and mean
Don’t wanna end up like stars in a box
Under a pile of rolling rocks

They sure help to take away the pain
But man how they screw up my brain
How I need them everyday
I need them more than I can say
They cut off the pain to my brain
But I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same again

An elephant’s in the room we can’t ignore
Affecting everyone whether rich or poor
Hurting millions of people everywhere
Who wants to know, who really cares?
Who wants to know, who really cares?
