Somebody save them
These desperate men
Trapped in the vicious cycle
Of addiction, crime and jail
They live to use and use to live
Until they can’t afford it
Turn to crime to get their fix
Serve they’re time when they get nicked
And do it all again and again
Until the inside wears them down
And spits them out at middle age
To make their way in a world
They’ve hardly known
And what could be worse
For those who like to live fast
Girls, money, drugs and cars
To be locked in a box
Away from it all
With nothing but time
And nothing to fill it
Not living just coping
Waiting and hoping
A skerrick of ice
Comes their way
Somebody save them
These desperate men
Who can’t help themselves
To break the cycle
Of losing everything
To the walls they grow to love
