Can't Help Myself
Words & Music : Thompson

I never knew things would turn out this way
And it seems everything I did
Never seemed to come to a head
And I'm just on my own
In my own home
I'm all alone
Answer the phone
No no don't want to...

I had a friend
He was so addicted to his sick
He didn't know - what he had...
He just gave up his days
and he lied on his back...
He did all of his dope straight through his nose
He smoked all his weed
and now he's got resin all over his important papers
He can't go to the doctor
and he's drunk all of the time
With a gut full of beer & wine ohhh

I can't help myself
I... just can't help myself
I get carried away & I am this friend
and before I know it
my brain's all goo...

Who the hell are you?

I didn't mean - to travel this far down this road
But it seemed like the only place to go
Once you've walked a mile in my shoes
It seems the blood I bleed is blood
blackened with the hashish oil
I plant my bones in foreign soil
I got to get my freedom
Before my freedom gets taken away...
Live my life like it's not my dying day
and I'm going to do things my own way
and I just want to get my own fix
and I just gotta find a way to get my kicks...
and I... just can't help myself
and I... just can't help myself
and I... just can't help myself
Gonna live my life this way...

Then one day the Judge came to me
and he said “Son you're goin' away”
said “You party way too much
and your life is gonna not stay
...so free....so free....so free
Boy all we want is your hard earned money.”

Leave me dead & bloody in your alleyways
This society that you made for me is breaking clay
and I don't want a kiln to harden my soul
I just want to live my life & grow old...
But these addictions,
These - soul hard afflictions
Their taking my life & I have nowhere to go...
Growing older everyday
I live a year in 30 minutes,
I don't see how I'll make it past another year.....
