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
