A Kid Like You

I'll always be there for you

I'll always stick by your side in the roughest of times

No matter where you are

Or what you're doing

I'm the single most important person in your life

I'm the first person you think of in the morning

And the last before you go to sleep at night

I'm always on your mind

All day, every day

You simply can't go a day not needing me

The bond between us has grown too strong

You can't even fathom a life without me

But not because I Iove and care for you

Or because I want to comfort you in those hard times

But because I'm your drug dealer

I'm that guy you met that night

The night you first tried hard drugs

"Hey, kid. Come sniff this with me," I said

You were having such a great time that you actually went along with it

You wanted to fit in with the wrong crowd

You wanted to escape your problems

You wanted to impress your friends

I offered you a hit for free

The first time is always free

I came across so nice and friendly in the beginning

All smiles and a bright personality

You said yes

And oh...my...lord have you made a mistake

Because now I've got you hooked

Now I've got a grip on you

And I will never...ever let go

I'll cut your dope with Goddamn rat poison if I have to

Just as long as I get my paycheck

I'll have you girls walking up and down the block in your high heels and tight skirts

Your teeth chattering in the cold as you look for another dick to suck

I'll have you silly boys who thought you were cool popping pills begging for mercy

And I love every second of it

I get off to watching you suffer

It's a sick, twisted fetish

As you crawl on your hands and knees for another hit

You knew what you were getting yourself into

You knew the consequences

But you CHOSE not to listen

Your mother cries herself to sleep every night

Wondering what she did wrong to fail you

For you to have all the opportunities in the world and throw them away

You don't visit her anymore

For Christmas

For Thanksgiving

For her birthday

Instead you're out making money to come find me

You always come back to me

No matter how horrible I treat you

No matter how many times I've pushed you to your breaking point

You need me

And there's not a damn thing you can do about it

Except put more of my poison into your body

This is now your destiny

This is now your life

But hey

Do I look like the kind of guy who would do that to a kid like you?
