When I was younger I felt so pure   I didn't know corruption waited for me   I tried to duck, I tried to freeze   Tried to bury my head in the sand      But the sand it turned to mud   And in the mud is where I got stuck   But the sand it turned to mud   And in the mud is where I got stuck      I've seen the older men who smelt like booze   [Incomprehensible] in their clothes   How could they face the morning   With their life and teeth in a mess      I tried cigarettes, I tried booze   I tried tip-ex and I tried glue   All my feelings and morals are wrong   'Cause all the chemicals that I have done      They turn them on and off   They turn them on and off      I need a cigarette   I need a drink   I need a cigarette   I need a drink      Something clicked and I fell off the edge   I bashed my head again and again   I lost myself in life's of shame   How could I face the morning clawing up at me?      I need a cigarette   I need a drink   I need a cigarette   I need a drink      I need a cigarette   I need a drink   I need a cigarette   I need a drink
