Dope fiend blues


In a police car I feel so very small
I see my lover's face and I watch her teardrops fall
and I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the tracks
well I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

and in the end, you know a dope fiend ain't got no friends
and a junkie is a junkie to the bitter end
hope to die, cause you know I'm better off dead
hey brother, won't you lend me a helpin' hand?

I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
I feel like Marlon Brando and I've hid another day's pain
I'm going back where it's safe, going back to the womb
I find my mother's comfort, here in a needle and spoon

and Christmas for a dope fiend ain't no fun
waiting for good times that seem to never come
going out, gonna get myself a gun
please stop me, don't you know I'm on a run?

aren't you tired of the detox and the places in the mind?
are you tired of the misery, aren't you tired of doin' time?
and I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the tracks
well I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

I'm a dope fiend, I'm a liar, a cheat and a thief
at my funeral, won't you bring me a red rose wreath?
dress in black now, show everyone your grief
well, I'm gone now, you can all feel relief

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Social Distortion are a punk rock band formed in Orange County, California, in 1978. Considered among the most influential bands of the 1980s punk revival scene, they have managed to blend the energy of punk with elements of country and rockabilly, creating a unique and recognizable sound. The band is led by the charismatic Mike Ness, singer and guitarist, who has faced several personal difficulties during the band's career, including addictions and health problems. Despite the hardships, the Social Distortion have continued to record and perform, releasing albums such as *Mommy's Little Monster* (1983), *Prison Bound* (1988) and *White Light, White Heat, White Trash* (1990). Among their most famous songs are «Ball and Chain», «Story of My Life» and «Don't Drag Me Down». The current lineup includes Mike Ness, Jonny Wickersham (guitar), Brent Harding (bass) and David Hidalgo Jr. (drums).
