Whenever somebody asks
What the matter is with me
I say Ive got a problem
With your society
They look at me straight in the eye
give their shoulders a shrug
And say your problem is not society
Youve got a problem with drugs
I guess Ive always been a stoner
Though Ive never thought of myself that way
But here I am back on the corner
Wondering what I can score today
My mama was a doctor
Or maybe she was a nurse
Whatever she was, she always had
An pillbox in her purse
A cookie jar filled with dexadrine
on the kitchen shelf
Id grab a handful on my way to school
Drop a few and sell the rest
a bowl of black and hash for breakfast
weed and wine in the afternoon
a couple speedballs with my dinner
whiskey and reds for the midnight zoom
seems like ive spent the years gone by
in a druggies addled haze
now that im pushing 40
i think its more than just a phase
