2.Cereal Song

Lyricist:Robert Forrest

Oh heroin, oh heroin
And cocaine and cocaine
Well, I loved them both

But they took my life, they took my friends
They won't give â~em back, well, I want â~em back
Oh, give â~em back now

And what has it gotten me?
Just some teeth I can't chew
My favorite cereal with

Oh , bein' cool and lookin' good
Keith Richards and Lenny Bruce
And all of them
Well, I give up

Sometimes I'll get sad
Or I'll get mad
About where I should be
And where I am and I wanna go back

But where has it gotten me?
35 years old now
I wash dishes in a restaurant

Well, my friend Robert
Well, he can't stop
And his teeth are fallin' out
And he's livin' at his mom's
And it's no fun, no

I guess, I'm lucky I'm alive
Yeah, I'm lucky, I'm alive
â~Cause I should be dead
Well, I have been dead
But I'm not now, no

And what has it got me?
Just some teeth I can't chew
My favorite cereal with

Yeah, where has it gotten me?
I'm 35 years old now
Work in a fucking restaurant

Oh heroin, oh heroin
And cocaine and cocaine
Well, I loved them both
