Plain Paper Wrapper
Time in a bottle, but no place to hide and no
explanation for those that have died.
The young and the innocent, the weak and the
strong, there's no protection, something has to be
wrong.
A few drinks after work, to wash away a hard day,
but on the way home a child had to pay.
Tempers are hot, the liquor is cool, another wife
goes down to the gun of a fool.
Friends get together, a few beers at the beach
a buddy just drowned, a hand thay couldn't reach.
Prom night at a high school, they drink and they
dance the teenagers in the car never had a chance.
I read it in the paper day in and day out, some
don't understand what the fuss is about.
Legalized poison in bottles and cans, just pain
and misery you can hold in your hand.
A dangerous weapon with lasting effects, just
look at the lives and homes it has wrecked.
Education's the answer, don't drink and drive,
try to control anger, let's try to save our lives...
