Junkie's Promise

 A hundred dollar's pay used to buy your stuff
And now a hundred times a day and still it's not enough
People always tell me you get what you deserve
All I know is all and all is all I've heard
I heard you say: "you know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"And did you say: "I can't escape myself"
And then you did and now there's no one else
To blame you know that I know-yeah that times are rough
I'd like to help you out, but things are rather tough
People always tell me that you've got to lend a helping hand
Nothing in return is all I expect from you my friend
I heard you say: "you know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"And did you say: "I can't escape myself"
And then you did and now there's no one else
I heard you say: "you know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say: "I can't escape myself"
And then you do
and now there's no one else.
