Junkie's Promise

A hundred dollars used to be more than enough
And now a hundred times a day and still it's not enough
People always tell me you get what you deserve
All I know is all and all is all I've heard

I heard you say, "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say, "I can't escape myself"
And then you did and now there's no one else to blame

You know that I know, yea, that times are rough
I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough
People always tell me that you've got to lend a helping hand
Nothin' in return is all I expect from you my friend

I heard you say, "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say, "I can't escape myself"
And then you did and now there's no one else
