DRUG OF CHOICE
Liquor is the world’s poison of choice
But death from booze rarely gets a voice
Fentanyl is the new kid in town
Smoke it, snort it and you’re going down
Fentanyl deaths make all the front pages
But alcohol’s the most dangerous drug throughout the ages
Three million dead every year from booze
It’s the legal poison that teens choose to use
Pronounce them dead from a DUI
Frat house hazing, bottoms up then die
Legal to buy at your local store
Gulp down a double and crash on the floor
Hey beer man another round of lites
Pound down a six-pack and turn out the lights
Red nose, red cheeks you’ve got a tremor
Last night’s a blank you can’t remember
Today you’re alert and locked in jail
Vehicular homicide, you can’t make bail
Last night you imbibed in the ultimate bars
Today you’re imprisoned behind iron bars
