SONIC YOUTH LYRICS - Junkie's Promise

"Junkie's Promise"



[Thurston]

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 yeah 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

Nothing 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



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 do and now there's no one else
