Methedrine
Benzedrine
Nicotine
Wash it down with alcohol, your fine and...
Amphetamine
Dexedrine
Caffeine
Guess its time to snort another line
You're the temple
Yourself you deceive
The victim who falls to the pleasures of the flesh
Only then to be judged by the prophet of lies
You're the jury
Convicting yourself
Sentence the one who's to blame then condemned
Then you'll learn that the punishment is twice the crime
Cocaine
Fast lane
Mary Jane
Now turn on the ultraviolet light
First a red
Then a white
Nearly dead
A hand full of black, you'll sleep tonight
You're the temple
Yourself you deceive
The victim who falls to the pleasures of the flesh
Only then to be judged by the prophet of lies
You're the jury
Convicting yourself
Sentence the one who's to blame then condemned
Then you'll learn that the punishment is twice the crime
Morphine
Codeine
Thorazine
Anything to help anesthetize
Lidocaine
Inhumane
No restrain
Take control of the enemy inside
You're the temple
Yourself you deceive
The victim who falls to the pleasures of the flesh
Only then to be judged by the prophet of lies
You're the jury
Convicting yourself
Sentence the one who's to blame then condemned
Then you'll learn that the punishment is twice the crime
