Pills and Smoke

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was a city baby raised on a well-worn street My daddy hated it because of the fame I never noticed, really I was too young at the time To care about the history in its name Some years go by and they move me to the sticks Some dinky satellite of my old home It was there I took off to meet my mind on the streets And it was there I made off on my own [Chorus] And I've been sick and I've been tired I've been a madman slashing tires and starting fires I'm not afraid, cowards be damned I'm full of pills and smoke and booze and I'm teenage [Verse 2] A few wasted years, a cup of tasteless tears I learned my lessons the old fashioned way Some think I'm angry and mean, hell, I'm only eighteen There's only so much a kid can take Another day, another time, my life and loves are in line But I never lost the nerve that I had It kept my insides clean, my soul solid and lean My independence guiding me through the crap [Chorus] I've been sick and I've been tired I've been a madman slashing tires and starting fires I'm not afraid, cowards be damned I'm full of pills and smoke and booze and I'm teenage [Bridge] I'm full of pills and smoke and I'm teenage I ain't anymore, I can't get outta this haze Gotta get some more pills, gotta get some more smoke Go on, go robbin' [Chorus] And I've been sick and I've been tired I've been a madman slashing tires and starting fires I'm not afraid, cowards be damned I'm full of pills and smoke and booze and I'm teenage [Outro] Gimme some pills and smoke
