Little Sister

"Little Sister"


Hey little sister
I heard you went to Mr. So and So,
knock, knock, knocking on his door again
last night, said you needed it bad
you know that ain't right

Cause so many times you have come to me
cry, crying
you're trying to stop,
you said it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
go back for more, yeah yeah

My little sister is a Zombie
in a body with no soul
a role she has learned to play
in a world today
where nothing else matters;
but it matters,
we gotta start feeding our souls--
have been lost to the millions with lots
who feed on addiction
selling pills and what's hot
and I wish I could save her
from all their delusions
all the confusion yeah yeah

of a nation that starves us
for salvation
but clothing is the closest approximation
to God
and He only knows that drugs are
all we know of love
yeah

Every day we starve
while we eat white bread
and beer instead of a handshake or hug
We spill the pills and sweep them
under the rug yeah yeah
