The Lyrics
Best way to stop using drugs is to never start.
There is a torment happening to me,
I am jonesin' on down to the nth degree.
Someone ripped my stash, an evil posse crew.
It's a real hard life when you jones,
Do you know what it's like on the downslide?
Wish I had some meth-a-done--hy-dro-chloride, for this jones.
Got my tax rebate; scored a quarter pound,
And then I hid it safely underground.
Then I shot some up before I jumped in bed,
Thinking all that stash will save me from my head.
I can't stand this strife when I jones,
This has so kicked my butt to the curbside,
If they're talking real proud, I'll kick their backside, for this jones.
There is a torment happening to me,
I am jonesin' on down to the nth degree.
Someone ripped my stash, an evil posse crew.
It's a real hard life when you jones,
This has so kicked my butt to the curbside,
Wish I had some meth-a-done--hy-dro-chloride, for this jones.
I am jonesin' on down to the nth degree.
Someone ripped my stash, an evil posse crew.
It's a real hard life when you jones,
Do you know what it's like on the downslide?
Wish I had some meth-a-done--hy-dro-chloride, for this jones.
Got my tax rebate; scored a quarter pound,
And then I hid it safely underground.
Then I shot some up before I jumped in bed,
Thinking all that stash will save me from my head.
I can't stand this strife when I jones,
This has so kicked my butt to the curbside,
If they're talking real proud, I'll kick their backside, for this jones.
There is a torment happening to me,
I am jonesin' on down to the nth degree.
Someone ripped my stash, an evil posse crew.
It's a real hard life when you jones,
This has so kicked my butt to the curbside,
Wish I had some meth-a-done--hy-dro-chloride, for this jones.

Very melancholy, very beautiful. Good job on this song, Guy! 5's
Finally, a Guy parody Rush Limbaugh and I can agree on!
Managed to catch a bit of the original song - good work here, Guy.
