Hemlock Ernst & Kenny Segal – Addicted Youth lyrics

[Hook: Hemlock Ernst]
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
I was addicted too
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
I was addicted too
(I was a fiend)

[Verse 1: Hemlock Ernst]
You know, some people never make it out
And some people never make it round
Fell into the bottom tryin' tried to make it out
I barely made a sound
I had to change my life so I could change my way
Had to make a life so I could make a change
Someone told me once that I was all to blame
I still hand it to him but I never changed
I just left the [?] and them fifty bags
A bottle of old crow and bargain rag
Took five or six years 'til I was walkin' steady
But in the corners of my mind, I still find confetti
But that's the difference in the facts of life
And what you asked tonight
I got a answer that I didn't like
I had a question, didn't ask it right
And so I ask the night

You know some people always sell us out
And some people always let us down
And I could never set it down, and I'm unsettled now
Don't let it take you out
'Cause if a part of me's a part of you
And there's a part of me that's beautiful
Does that make you beautiful too?
I think you think it do

[Hook: Hemlock Ernst]
(I was a fiend)
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
(Before I became a teen)
I was addicted too
(I was a fiend)
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted too (ooh)
(Before I because a teen)
I was addicted too

[Verse 2: Hemlock Ernst]
You know I used to play the blame game
But this ain't no boo thing, no same same
I was a dust head, no foul play
Movin' that white girl for spare change
I tried to go and change what I never had
Tried to make change out of pen and pad
Tried to maintain for the laundry bags and the grocery bags
Be less afraid of silence and the violent drag
'Cause life just has a way of takin' prisoners
And too many locked inside they physical
So many locked we become cynical
And too many cops are simply criminals
And that's a metaphor, but it's a true story
And our problem and our thinking in this room forming
When the first thing we think's what can you do for me

But there's a part of me's a part of you
And there's a part of you that's beautiful
Does that make me beautiful too?
I think it do

[Hook: Hemlock Ernst]
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
I was addicted too
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted too (uh)
(I was a fiend)
(Before I became a teen)
(I was a fiend)
(Before I became a teen)
