I've seen the light leave my father's eyes
And he dies as he sighs at long goodbyes
He blames his pain on everything but shame
And he dies as he cries and still survives
Who will he ever blame?
Cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh Cocaine
An apathetic shrug- we blame it on the drugs
But why care? It's not you so it seems fair
Just close your eyes and kiss the pain goodbye
Surprise, I lied. The pain survived
Who will you ever blame?
Cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh Cocaine
(oohs x 3)
Indifference is the word and we are all absurd
But not you, you're cool, just pass on through
I see the light leaving all of your eyes
You die as you sigh at long goodbyes
Who will we ever blame?
Cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh Cocaine
(oohs x2)
Who will we ever blame?
Will we ever learn from shame?
There's one thing that will never change
Cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh, cuh-cuh Cocaine
