You kinda have to look at this, don't you?
I looked in the mirror and saw myself fourty years older,
veins so blue that only my bitter eyes looked colder
So I shun the drink, throw back the drugs,
the cigarettes, and the life of a thug
rethink my actions til my outlook changes
when we're young, we go through phases.
Who're you admiring? Y'know they're no good
if they were, would they,
be living in this neighbourhood?
So I shun the drink, throw back the drugs,
the cigarettes, and the life of a thug
and since then...
early mornings became easy
late nights would no longer tease me
I could look at that man in the mirror and say "no,
from now on I'll be my own hero"
I couldn't be arsed to complete it. So yeah. Like it?
