How can I explain so you can understand
I’m not to blame for it getting out of hand
You call me a user but there’s something you should know
I’m being held prisoner in a cage that doesn’t show

You say I hold the key to the prison that I am in
Yield to ‘The Powers That Be’ to find your God within
Have faith in yourself look to a ‘Higher Power’
Let everything you’ve felt no longer make you cower

Listen to what I say and keep an open mind
Sobriety brings dismay and depression combined
I’ve tried living sober, ‘One Day At A Time’
If I could do it over I’d still do the crime
