What's The Word

All the kids around my way You bought that flake, get through the day And I'm inside just countin' blues Hiding from the TV news s*x and drugs is all my pleasure In this little life of leisure A pretty girl, she don't believe Anything she hears or sees Well, what's the word on the street? What's the word on the street? What's the word I need to tell myself 'Cause all these pills, they just ain't helpin' me I can't think or see Soon in love we all succumb You get nine lives and then you're done But here they comes, your politician Stage magician, little difference Well, what's the word on the street? What's the word on the street? I said, what's the word I need to tell myself 'Cause all these pills, they just ain't helpin' me Well, what's the word on the street? Ah tell me, what's the word on the street? What's the word on the street? Ah tell me, what's the word on the street? What's the word I need to tell myself 'Cause all these pills, they just ain't helpin' me I can't fight the sea What's the word I need to tell myself All these pills, they just ain't helpin' me
