They tell us hundreds of "don't"s
But few "Do"s
They tell us all
They tell me
They tell you
"Do as I say, not as I do."
When it comes to their actions
That's where they fall short
They don't comply
So tell me
Why should I?
Don't smoke
Whether it be tobacco or herb
Do they fallow the siermen they preach?
No. That would simply be absurd
Don't drink alcohol
Steer clear of the booze
You will never gain a thing from drinking
you will only loose
Especially if you drink and drive
if you're lucky enough to survive
It is great advice
For if you drink and drive
You could end up paying the ultimate price
But who gets more DUIs?
Is it the "all knowing responble adults"?
who are "mature" enough to drink
Or is it us "reckless irresponsible teens"?
Take a guess. Which do you think?
"I'm the adult, I know what I'm doing."
Do they? Do they really?
Should there be this double standard?
If you ask me, that's a question with an answer worth pursuing.
