 I wore a phony smile

all the world had become slightly odd
pills they gave me for my blood
had changed my brain
I trudged through life
legs like cement
the doctor kept prescribing more pills
"I'm worried about the..."
smoking and drinking probably didn't help
It ain't romantic
I boozed to forget it all
but then I got tired of it
Yuck booze
I drank so much 
every night
and did nothing much
so I quit 
And now I do nothing much but sober
