Mike Pinto - Addictions lyrics

rate me

Spoken:<br />

<br />

-Alright, this next one's called 'Addictions', uh... <br />

-I got lots of addictions, I love this song! <br />

-Hahaha, fuckin' right. Don't we all?<br />

<br />

Sung:<br />

Sammy was a betting man who's money always running thin, <br />

He never thinks to save a dime. And when he's good up for, <br />

He'll rob the closest liquor store, if he don't get caught<br />

Well then it ain't no crime! <br />

<br />

It ain't no crime<br />

<br />

Well Sammy moved to Reno with his best friend Tino who only<br />

Says his prayers in the best of casinos. But sam was down<br />

On his luck, he took Tino's truck. A case of grand theft<br />

Auto in the case of Nevada, that's for sure. There<br />

Ain't no cuuuuure, he'll do it again, like he's done it<br />

Before.<br />

<br />

Well everybody's got their addictions, and if you<br />

Listen hard you'll see: That everyone who lives<br />

Beneath the sun discovers something that they need.<br />

Now we all have our different problems, but there<br />

Are those who still pretend... That it's okay, but<br />

To each of them I say: Well nah, you better think<br />

Again<br />

<br />

And it goes<br />

<br />

(Riff x4)<br />

<br />

Danny works a nine-to-five, wears a fancy suit and tie, <br />

But the only thing that keeps him sane... Is the comfort<br />

Of the local bar, he thinks of last call, just one<br />

More drink to numb the paaaiin.<br />

<br />

Oooooooooh, we all got pain<br />

<br />

He's got himself a ball-and-chain, who smokes a pack a day<br />

Since she was nearly age 13. a nicotine fiend if you know what<br />

I mean, now she's yellin' at the kids for smokin' all that<br />

Weed.<br />

<br />

Well don't get angry, don't you use brute force, I know<br />

My stories almost set the trial off course. But I don't<br />

Lie, and I don't mean to sound dramatic, but my my<br />

Sound's fuckin' hotter than your upstaiors attic there's<br />

A will, there's a way, for the people of today livin'<br />

A lifetime on the bottom of a cruel society. Stay strong<br />

And know right from wrong. Back to the riff that goes... <br />

<br />

(Riff x4)<br />

<br />

Sammy planned his get away, and he was on his way to<br />

Tijuana, Mexico. His luck, he thought, was on his<br />

Side as he drove Tino's ride but little did he know<br />

That drunk drivin' with one eye closed was Danny<br />

Comin' the other way on a dogged-up road. He hit<br />

The breaks, it was way too late, and the collision<br />

Killed them both.<br />

<br />

Well Danny leaves his wife a widow, dressed in black<br />

And Sammy leaves his life for trying to gamble in<br />

Stacks. Sad but true, oh what are you gonna do when<br />

It's way too late for turning back?<br />

<br />

Well everybody's got their addictions, and if you<br />

Listen hard you'll see: That everyone who lives<br />

Beneath the sun discovers something that they need.<br />

Now we all have our different problems, but there<br />

Are those who still pretend... that nothing's wrong, <br />

But if you wait too long, it'll kill you in the end, <br />

<br />

OooOoooOooohh
