“Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth” is a sardonic indie anthem with lyrics savaging a hapless heroin user.

[Verse 1]
I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe
But today, if you think that I don't know about depression and emotional pain

In a way, I can't help but feel responsible, I always knew that you were insane
With your pain, but I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe, hey
[Chorus]
Heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey, hey, ah
[Verse 2]

In a way, I can't help but feel responsible, I always knew that you were insane
With your pain, but I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe, hey
[Chorus]
Heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey, hey, ah, ah, ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey, hey, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey
