Текст песни Heroin Nation - Ryan Cassata, Lee

Heroin Nation

I’m straight sick of seeing my people dying
They end up sleeping in the streets, their brains been out frying
Say, «Oh what?» Do you think that I’m just lying?
It’s running rampant like a serial killer all across Long Island
Like a grim reaper, it’ll fucking keep ya
Needle in your arm deeper, jumped a pawn, beat ya, straight gone
You used to have it going on, now you’re nodding on the lawn
And stealing from your own mom
Your hearts exploding like a bomb
Here I am, heroin, I’ll come and get you, here I am depend on me and now you
can’t defend you
You just can’t fend yourself, like I just can’t blame myself
You got a bent silver spoon heating up in your room
Now you’re gone to soon my brother, boy did I love ya
It’s sad we had to discover your beneath the cover
Now it’s much to late, 16 year old in a coffin at a wake
I hate thinking this was God’s fate to keep us all awake
I close my eyes tonight
I wish that I could see
See you alive
I close my eyes tonight
I wish that I could see
See you alive
What, you don’t wanna talk about this?
I bring it up and you just want to bust my lip
But man, this is some real deep shit, it’s dragging them out and it’s killing
these kids
Now look at Good Samaritan, it’s filling right up
There’s not even enough rooms, people be lined up
There’s an overdose in every other bed, that hospital is a grave yard for the
living dead
Won’t you start treating them like they’re sick and not like they’re bad?
Start giving them the treatment that you wish that you had
Maybe it’s true the governments conspiring to eliminate some people and not do
the hiring
Shouldn’t the big man be going out to save them instead of turning his back on
the heroin nation?
And fuck all you doctors pushing these pills, kids are getting hooked,
and all you care about is bills
I close my eyes tonight
I wish that I could see
See you alive
I close my eyes tonight
I wish that I could see
See you alive
So how many kids do we have to lose?
Start at the blues, now headlining the news
It’s a lifestyle that some don’t choose
They’re just thrown into it, pushed on the pills, what if it’s you?
What if it’s your kid, what would you do?
Would you swap it out and trade with him no oxycontin blues?
What if it’s your kid, shaking with chills?
What if it’s your kid? Oh, another one killed!
I close my eyes tonight
I wish that I could see
See you alive
I close my eyes tonight
I wish that I could see
See you alive
I close my eyes, I close my eyes, I close my eyes
Don’t Close Your Eyes
