Discharge

Mother Dear Mother
Its Cold Tonight
Like Every Other
Every Other Night
But I Never Feel
Feel It Anyway
Im Gonna Need Something
Something Soon
I Can Feel It
Feel It Begin
But I Dont Know
How Im Gonna Pay
It Must Be About
Mid December Right Now
And I Think Im About
Seventeen
Im Not Real Sure
How Old I Feel
I Lost My Thoughts
In Some Dream
Oh Mother I Dont
Know How
I Got Where I Am
But Ill Try To Explain Anyhow
See Gradually
You Get Sucked In
Into It
Without Ever Really
Realising
Just Whats Happening
And That Is When
The Downward Spiral Begins
Anyway Back To How It All Started
It Started With Dope
Why Not After All It Was Just The Once, I Told Myself
I Didnt Even Like It Very Much
But The People I Was With All Did It
Then I Tried Speed
Why Not After All, It Was Just The Once I Told Myself
The Next Thing I Knew I Was Doing A Couple Of Grams A Week
Then A Friend Introduced Me To Smack- Chasing The Dragon
Why Not After All It Was Just The Once I Told Myself
Why Not After All It Wasnt Using A Needle
Then I Started Doing What I Said Id Never Do
