Why?

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Why set yourself in stone young man
Why dye yourself so black
When you go too far down this road
You probably won’t ever come back
The culture it will eat you
Then spit you right back out
Only to swallow you whole again
When no-one else is about
Addiction, strife and stigma
Will cast their shadows on you
And times incarcarated
Will test if you are true
If you can come through unbroken
From the ever demanding test
Then you will win admiration
Love, brotherhood and respect
But let me warn you now young man
Should you ever succumb to farce
One serious blip, loose lips sink ships
You’ll be out on the bones of your arse
So when your dry mouth asks the question
Will you ever quench your thirst
You want to be a hooligan mate
Think long about it first!
