Interesting Drug Lyrics

[Verse]
There are some bad people on the rise
There are some bad people on the rise
They're saving their own skins
By ruining people's lives
Bad, bad people on the rise
Young married couple in debt, ever felt had?
Young married couple in debt, ever felt had?

[Pre-Chorus]
On a government scheme
Designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor, always poor
La-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Interesting drug, the one that you took
Tell the truth, it really helped you
An interesting drug, the one that you took
God, it really, really helped you
You wonder why we're only half-ashamed?
Because enough is too much
And look around, can you blame us?
Can you blame us?
[Pre-Chorus]
On a government scheme
Designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor
Always poor
La-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Interesting drug, the one that you took
Tell the truth, it really helped you
An interesting drug, the one that you took
God, it really, really helped you
You wonder why we're only half-ashamed?
Because enough is too much
And look around, can you blame us?
Can you blame us?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
