One day you'll wake up
And life has no meaning
Except that feeling in your veins

Another blast another line
You'd hardly do it
Your lungs are craving
That cocaine

Well, all your friends
Will sit and watch you do it
And when it's time they'll do the same

You taste the smoke
It's the evil that's inside you
You know the winner of the game

Oh no, can't you feel the pain?
Can you feel the misery?

Well, time goes on
And you feel your body slipping
There's no control, you're a slave

You breathe in deep
And be sure your hearts still pumping
You ain't ready for the grave

One more time
And you promise the you will quit
But today's just not the day

Everyday you give that
Same old sermon
Still you crack your life away

Oh no, can't you feel the pain?
Can you feel the misery?

Today they found you
In your room, your eyes were empty
stem of a glass clutched in your hand

Your heart had stopped
And your life had left you
Dead young American

Oh no, can't you feel the pain?
Can you feel the misery?
