Addicts
Every day I hit the streets
Looking for the Pepsi man;
Amanda goes to Starbucks twice an hour.
Johnny's slamming Red Bull,
Seeks enlightenment in every can,
And Mama's lime and Coke leaves all her kisses kinda sour.
The drug addictions of the modern world:
It's all caffeine, stress, and nicotine instead of booze and bars.
There's no exit from the speed of traffic sweeping you along,
And nobody really cares whether you make it through the wars.
Tony's got a thing for sweets,
Buys his gumballs by the pound;
Betsy's cookie cravings take the cake.
David's got a mouthful
Of the chocolate fudge that Karen found,
While Kaia's snatching pieces of the brownies Katie bakes.
The drug addictions of the modern world:
It's all caffeine, stress, and nicotine instead of booze and bars.
There's no exit from the speed of traffic sweeping you along,
And nobody really cares whether you make it through the wars.
My drug of choice is aspartame;
High-fructose syrup's not for me,
But Chris demands his corn in fizzy form.
Jimmy's making popcorn,
Says it's ninety-four percent fat-free,
While Ryan takes his tiramisu warm.
The drug addictions of the modern world:
It's all caffeine, stress, and nicotine instead of booze and bars.
There's no exit from the speed of traffic sweeping you along,
And nobody really cares whether you make it through the wars.
There's no exit from the speed of traffic sweeping you along,
And nobody really cares whether you make it through the wars.Written on: 2009-04-02. Seanan McGuire
