Lyric discussion by jcovarru 

This song is saying that life can be bad and full of pain, but drugs are only going to make matters worse, and in the end they might kill you. It takes the form of advice from someone who sees it 'happening every day'.

This album is full of cynical melancholy songs like this: 'Mother and Child Reunion' (death), 'Run That Body Down' (aging), 'Paranoia Blues' (difficulties of life). A very dark album all around.

@jcovarru But then there's Armistice Day....

"Armistice Day, Armistice Day, that's all I really wanted to say."

:D
