lyrics

Smoke some dope so you can cope
You offer me, but I say nope
Rig some speed, that's all you need
But all your drugs just ain't for me

Don't need no drugs, don't need no booze
Cos with that stuff you'll only lose
Don't want no pills, don't want no drink
I'd rather save my brain to think
I've had my share, I've had my try
I've even seen some good friends die
So, stop yourself and realize that
Drugs are just a lie!

You think you're cool cos you do drugs
To kill yourself is so much fun
PCP and LSD
Don't sound like no fun to me

Don't need no drugs, don't need no booze
Cos with that stuff you'll only lose
Don't want no pills, don't want no drink
I'd rather save my brain to think
I've had my share, I've had my try
I've even seen some good friends die
So, stop yourself and realize that
Drugs are just a lie!

I just want to tell you that there's something more in life
That you don't need no alcohol to end your pain and strife
I see a lot of drunken bums just lying on the street
And then I think that they were once kids just like you and me

It ain't an easy world out there
It's filled with hate, it's filled with fear
But drugs won't solve your problems
They just make 'em worse

Can't you see we got something to say?
That drugs and booze just ain't the way
We're gonna stand and we're here to stay
Our message of peace will never fade away

We're kids who care, we're kids who try
But we found better ways to get high
Just take a look up in the sky!

Now I'm not telling you what to do
Cos after all, I'm just like you
But drugs won't solve your problems
They just make 'em worse

Don't need no drugs, don't need no booze
Cos with that stuff you'll only lose
Don't want no pills, don't want no drink
I'd rather save my brain to think
I've had my share, I've had my try
I've even seen some good friends die
So, stop yourself and realize that
Drugs are just a fuckin' lie!

Don't need drugs!

Positive Outlook was started back in Sept of 1986 & quickly got on the SF bay area band scene supporting close friends Attitude Adjustment. "We're very much into participation & unity - fans are just as important as bands - and we're trying to show that it's ok to believe in GOD or whatever you want."
- P.O. 1987 ... more
