Lyrics
Smack Jack
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He just needs a hot shot,
He just needs a hot shot,
You need a hot shot
You need a hot shot
You are always running out
And you are always running short
Nothing matters anymore
All you want is go and score
No one starts with two a day
But they all seem to end that way
Shoot it up smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
That's a drag with a monkey on your back smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
That's a short term solution
He just needs a hot shot,
You need a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot,
You need a hot shot
You've never could have thought or guessed
That things could get so far out of hand hahahahaha
I'm gonna see you coming down in a cold sweat running
It's gonna be a different tune that you will soon be humming
Shoot it up smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
That's a drag with a monkey on your back smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
That's a short term solution
He just needs a hot shot,
You need a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot,
You need a hot shot
The devil has got his hooks on you
You are racing his clock
His plastic paradise won't last
You've got a no future and no past
Anyone can see your eyes
Excuse me hell is full of lies
Shoot it up smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
That's a drag with a monkey on your back smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
Shoot it up smack jack
That's a drag with a monkey on your back smack jack
It's a drag
Please, don't do it no more, don't do it no more, no more
Junkies are sentimental,
Junkies are very very sentimental
