Stone Junkie (Live at The Bitter End, NYC)

Lyrics

Here's something that I know everybody knows about I ain't gonna point no fingers So I don't want nobody to point no fingers Right... right on, yeah... I think it'll break it down Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Times have now arrived in this nation There's now a people with a different relation Black and white, yellow, red and blue All in the same bag, we know it's true They're just Stone junkies, stone, stone junkies Stone junkies, stone, stone junkies Don't let your mind become offended, miss lady 'Cause you ain't no better than our typical Sadie You just got money, you can spend out at will But when come aches and pains, you still use the pill I don't mean nothin' Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie – one mo' Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie now Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie, ya'll Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie now Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie I know everybody whose heart is still thumping {*crowd laughter*} Heh... he died... There, there, there the beat is I know everybody whose heart is still thumping Is drinking, shooting, or snorting, or smoking on something {*crowd laughter*} Yeah... I feel like I fell in a hole Y'know what I'm– that hit home everywhere (All the junkies out there... whew!) Now that might sound funky So I don't mean to mislead So you can retract the thought of you on drugs or weed That ain't my business, you know what you do I'm just singing – for the majority of you Should I say, mister – Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie Please give my fellas a great big round of applause... out of sight... (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) (Stone junkie, stone, stone junkie) Curtis Mayfield, ladies and gentlemen
