Narcotica from Movement LP by Up Front

guess we've got a brand new line coming out this year
the same old fuckin' make and model
they didn't look good the first time around
so how the hell do they expect to impress
taught by who was in the know back in '88
it's almost been a fuckin' decade now
it's time for all the little brothers and sisters
to learn nothing from their mistakes

have you learned yet my friend
that pipe is nothing but another excuse
that joint can be the beginning of the end
those pills are nothing but a numbing of the senses
that needle's the gun that puts the bullet in your vein

so why can't you just be yourself
live free of false emotions
it's easier than you might think
to be the person that you are

take another drug to make you feel another way
don't you have enough inside of you to bring it out yourself
think of all the time you spend being artificial
and there won't be time enough to tell what part of you is really real

and I know it's hard for you to tell your friends
that you don't give a shit if they call you a "fag"
but you shouldn't be doing all the shit they do
just because now they say it's all the rage again

can't you feel it finding you in all the places that you used to hide
from all these boring trends meant for some other kids
but now it's you who blindly follows them

and now you miss the strongest winds of every storm
