One day you'll wake up  And life will have no meaning  Except that feeling in your veins    Another blast another line  You'd hardly do it  Your lungs are craving  That cocaine    Well, all your friends  Will sit and watch you do it  And when it's time they'll do the same    You taste the smoke  It's the evil that's inside you  You know the winner of the game    Oh no, can't you feel the pain?  Can you feel the misery?    Well, time goes on  And you feel your body slipping  There's no control, you're a slave    You breathe in deep  And be sure your hearts still pumping  You ain't ready for the grave    One more time  And you promise the you will quit  But today's just not the day    Everyday you give that  Same old sermon  Still you crack your life away    Today they found you  In your room, your eyes were empty  A stem of a glass clutched in your hand    Your heart had stopped  And your life had left you  Dead young American
