about

Completely improvised, recorded in one take with no prior practice. It is rough, if folks would like an improved version, let me know, and I'll work on it down the road. Cheers!

lyrics

Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
In a blind tupor,
Lost in Rum.
In a stumbling stupor,
Like a street bum.

My mind is addled,
yet it opens it's pores,
to the creative juices,
or so much more.

Whether you choose your poison,
Whiskey or rum.
Whether you choose your poison,
Meth or amphetamines.

Whether you're a crackhead,
or a coke head,
whatever your poison,
are you better off dead?

No one knows.
No one knows.

Choose your poison.
Choose your poison.

Whatever (indecipherable) works for you.

Choose your poison.
Choose your poison.

You live your life one more day through.

Whether its going to be pharmeceuticals,
your ___? ____? ____? _____? _____?

Whether its going to be your street kind of drugs
Or a socially accepted cup o' joe.
Hey have Mo!!!

That may help you keep goin'.
Goin' to the rat race.
Maybe you need to pick up the pace
Gonna have some coke
pick up the pace.
Maybe a little more coke.
goin' goin' with whatever works for you (???)
Lets stoke that fire!
Lets have the amphetamines
or go for that workout extreme high.

maybe your poison is caffeine drinks
energy drinks, on an aisle a mile long
maybe you choose to mellow out
with something chill
whether its your prescribed pharmaceuticals
or illegal pill.
Or take your joint
You're still makin' the same bloody choice.

You can't live with yourself the way you are now.
you're giving some _____ ______ _____ ____?
whether its socially acceptable,
donuts and cigarette.
Or the less and less accepted,
its all the same effect:

you can't live with yourself,
so you gotta modify.

If its not drugs, well maybe its a little plastic surgery.
just a little botox here, and a botox there,
and a nip and a tuck and a nip and a tuck.

You just can't live with yourself,
you just can't be yourself.
