about

People on drugs talking about drugs in the hopes that more drugs will just appear.

lyrics

Climbing heights
Into the morning light
then threw the cop in the trash.

‘Cuz my man
drew a line in the sand
and now your man can’t pass.

That’s just the game, babe.
That’s just the way that it’s played.
Your mind’s on fun
when you’ve got fun in your brain.

It’s just a game, babe,
and that’s just the way that it’s played. 2x

Washed
up and down the county line,
I woke up to the badge
my man had taken the caps.

It’s a bad batch.
He couldn’t remember
the dick pic that he sent to his father.
(Or his dad)

That’s just the game, babe.
That’s just the way that it’s played.
Your mind’s on fun
when you’ve got fun in your brain.

It’s just a game, babe,
and that’s just the way that it’s played. 2x
It’s just a game, babe
It’s just a game, babe.

So grab all of your toes
and jump outta yr casket
Mutating like a ghost
With a brand new habit
Cherry was blinded in smoke
And hidin the blow

But she likes it wrong
Like when the kingdom is spilled
I’m lying
She’s lying
We’re lying in filth
And we can never pay it back
in pain or cash.

That’s just the game, babe.
That’s just the way that it’s played.
Your mind’s on fun
when you’ve got fun in your brain.

It’s just a game, babe,
and that’s just the way that it’s played. 2x
