What'cha gonna do? Time's 'caught up with you.
Now you wait your turn. You know there's no return

(Guitar 2)
Take your (something something) You join the other fools
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
Turn to something new. Now it's killing you.
First it was the bomb Viet Nam naplam.
Disillusioning, you push the needle in
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
From life you escape. Reality all fake (?)
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
Colours in your mind, satisfying time

Now you know the scene. Your skin starts turning green.
Your eyes no longer see, life's reality
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
Push the needle in Face gets sickly thin
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
Holes are in your skin Caused by deadly pins
Head starts spinnin' 'round fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave Death's hand starts to reap
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
It's too late to turn You don't want to learn
(Guitar 1)
(Guitar 2)
Price of life is high Now you're gonna die
