On The House
Updated: Sep 26, 2021
The first shot is always free
When you’re hooked they add the fee
God damn the pusher man
His job’s to get us hooked
Don’t give a good God damn
How often it is brooked
Here to advance his brand
On all those who partook
While supplying the demand
Our modified outlook
The first shot is always free
When you’re hooked they add the fee
Adapt us young the plan
Childhood vaccination
Accept drugs systems stan
Addict acclimation
Introduce contraband
Make it fascinating
Imprisoned in Candyland
Systemic suffocating
The first shot is always free
When you’re hooked they add the fee
Open up and let them in
No reason to sit and grouse
Hear the voice above the din
“The first one is on the house!”
The first shot is always free
When you’re hooked they add the fee
Come on all you folk
Time to take the poke
Asleep or a woke
Injection’s lucky stroke
The public health invoke
The patriot provoke
The system isn’t broke
It’s just the killing joke
The first shot is always free
When you’re hooked they add the fee
In your mind and in your veins
Addict ethos they espouse
Drugs in all of their campaigns
And the Agency warehouse
Faced with more evolving strains
Gasoline won’t fires douse
Often losses outweigh gains
When we’re playing cat and mouse
Poison the system ordains
Enjoy libations as a souse
Where dependence entertains
“The first one is on the house!”
