The legal drinking age is 21
And yet kids in high school still get drunk
The legal drinking age is 21
And yet kids still drink because it’s “cool” or “fun”
The legal drinking age is 21
And yet thousands of kids still die each year
Every year
People are disabling by enabling
Teens that have lives
Enabling, you give underage people
(People that have lives)
You give them easy access to alcohol
You give them what they want
No matter the consequences
You don’t realize
You don’t realize
Or maybe you do
You don’t just supply alcohol you supply addictions
Disabling, you ruin lives
With every bottle you ruin lives
With every glass you ruin lives
With every sip you ruin lives
With every single drop you ruin a life
You take an unruly girl
And you turn her into an addicted, hungry, craving, empty
Monster
You take a sister from her family
You take a daughter from her parents
Not just that you take a life
You know a drink can do this
It’s a ship in a bottle and drinking is diving right over the edge
Drowning your sorrows
You might as well jump because there are rocks ahead
You know the consequences of allowing alcohol access to your life
It’s dominoes tipping and tumbling towards the end
Spending your time with your only friend- a drink
You know that it will ****
That fiery drink boils in your blood
Blazing, bubbling and blistering
Like fire it burns every tie you have in your life
You know it will change lives
And you know that those lives will not change for the better
The legal drinking age is 21
And yet you give kids a way to ruin their lives
The legal drinking age is 21
And yet you defy the laws put in place to better those lives
The legal drinking age is 21
And yet you still spike the punch
