anthony don't need no groceries no more
he's bumming for pennies on Sundays
Officer Tony left a note on the door
he said warrant, he'd best leave the country
drinkin too hard made him a total wreck wreck wreck
he aughta know by now
he needs a house that is sellin crack
is that where he spends all his money?

and it seems such a waste of life
yeah is that what it's all about
as he's shootin up then he's freaking out

he looks like bones with so little meat
a skeletal life a quick ender
he banged a hooker aids chick down on sullivan street
now he needs a medical centre
and he traded in his nikes for a piece of crack crack crack crack crack
he hasn't learned by now
and if he can't see with a flying trip
wait up for his next booze bender

and it seems such a waste of life
yeah is that what it's all about
as he's shootin up then he's freaking out
he should never aregue with a drugged mind mind mind mind mind
he aughta know by now
he can see uncle Sam in the slammer house
live on the taxpayer's money

and it seems such a waste of life
yeah is that what it's all about
as he's shootin up then he's freaking out
