  • Oh Heroin, heroin
    And cocaine, cocaine
    Well I loved them both

    But they took my life, they took my friends
    They won't give em back, but I want em back
    Oh give em back now

    And what has it got me
    Just some teeth I can't chew
    my favourite cereal with

    Oh being cool, and looking good
    Keith Richards and Lenny Bruce
    And all of them, well I give up

    Sometimes I get sad, or I'll get mad
    About where I should be, and where I am
    Don't wanna go back

    And where has it got me
    Thirty-five years old now
    Washing dishes in a restaurant

    Well my friend Robert,well he can't stop
    His teeth are falling out
    And he's living at his mom's, and its no fun

    I guess I'm lucky I'm alive, yea I'm lucky I'm alive
    Cause I should be dead, well I have been dead
    But I'm not now, no

    But what has it got me
    Just some teeth I can't chew
    my favourite cereal with

    Yea where has it got me
    Thirty-five years old now
    Working in a fucking restaurant

    Oh Heroin, heroin
    And cocaine, cocaine
    Well I loved them both Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Johnny from Los Angeles, CaThat isn't true at all! This song isn't about enjoying your favorite cereal! It's about the drug abuse in a BAD way, the protagonist of the song wants to be cool like Keith Richards or Lenny Bruce (people who took drugs) but he realizes it places him nowhere.
