One of Them

 
Stop with the parties
for starters
quit the drugs
and the booze
And the football and horses
you know you’re no fun when you loose
Give up the smokes
no jokes
if you can muster the will
And the friend who reminds you,
“Even boredom can kill”

Go sober they told ya
it will all work out fine
But that doesn’t help with the demons
or passing the time
Be respected and successful
be everything they tell you to be
Do what you want, man
just don’t try and sell it to me

Keep your revelation
I’ve heard it before
To all of your cronies
who want to own me
please, on your way out
close the door
I don’t need your advice
or opportunities that come with a clause
Talk of doing good
But not a fucking word about these wars
