let me tell you a little story
what i saw the other morning...

a junky, don't rest on a sunday morning
a junky gotta get that money regardless
what day of the week it is
money burn so fast
in this ice cold world, in this ice cold world

so we try to escape
and push it deeper in the vein
so we try to escape the pain
push babylon deeper in the vein

because it don't get more babylon than heroin
it don't get more evil than crack cocain
it don't get more babylon than heroin
but look who's bubblin the crack cocain
cus those with the addiction don't have no jurisdiction
in this evilous world
those who roam nights don't have no rights
in this hideous world
and it's such a contradiction that those with the addiction are just trying to escape
but wind up trapping themselves in a capsule of hell and a system of hate

that's why a junky, don't rest on a sunday morning
a junky gotta get cash money regardless
what day of the week it is
money burn so fast
in this ice cold world, in this ice cold world

now while you sleeping through the weekend got no problems laughing and eating
after a friday night and a saturday night of partying and drinking
maybe you popped a pill or sniffed a line of coke or something
on a whole it's alright, you got in check you ain't no fuckin junkie
you don't mind more cops in the streets they keep em clean and our right wing government
you're lovin it - tax reduction soon capital punishment
yo, secretely wishin they'd would go all out with that operation eradication
to kill off all real junkies down at the station
stuck in the same system they were trying to get out of in the first place
addicted to their drugs dependant in the worst case
i wanna know where's the solidarity?
with your fellow man - cus all they wanna be is free, but...

a junky, can't sleep on a sunday morning
a junky gotta get cash money regardless
what day of the week it is
money burn so fast
in this ice cold world, in this ice cold world
