The cruel mistress that is addiction and how it's used to subjugate by some of our more unscrupulous denziens and citizens
lyrics
The Hit
Looking through the eyes of a needle
Tell you what do I see?
A rich vein of youthful potential
Opens up just for me
Sad are the faces
A willing victim succumbs
Sad are the traces
of society's crumbs
You've the money
and you've got attitude
just like that guy on TV
Take you under my wing
'cause you're special
but the first 15 are free
So bad for business
another icon survives
So good for business
A troubled Idol has died
The hit, the hit, the hit.
Quite remarkable
The hit, the hit, the hit.
Indisputable
The hit, the hit, the hit.
It's unbelievable
The hit, the hit, the hit.
Undeniable
In my blood, in my bones
Hank Williams to the Stones,
That mean old woman meets me round a' midnight
Here we are in a mexican stand off
The drug store owner and me
He's got the goods
but we've got the numbers
So he's relying on me
Satisfaction
Comes in a 50ml cup
Satisfaction
His profit margins are up.
The hit, the hit, the hit.
It's acceptable
The hit, the hit, the hit.
Purely functional
The hit, the hit, the hit.
It's so necessary
The hit, the hit, the hit.
A walking apothocary
Looking through the eyes of a needle
Tell you what do I see?
A rich vein of youthful potential....
Opens up just for me
Opens up
Just for me.....
