The Trend
original by: Michael Frazier 1988
by: Marc DeRose 2014
I tell you it ain't my intention.
To turn you into me.
But, I do have a strong suspicion,
there are things you refuse to see.
there are things you refuse to see.
Like those drugs you love so much.
Well they're keeping you out of touch.
Yeah, they're keeping you off the roads that could set you free.
Chorus 1
Hey man, you know, I can see a trend.
You're traveling down that dead-end road again.
Well times are tough, I understand.
But that's not my main concern.
No, I think you're way too comfortable,
watching your life slowly burn.
watching your life slowly burn.
Like a summer field that's on fire,
you're gonna die way before you retire.
'Cause you're living your life inside a castle made of sand.
Repeat Chorus 1
Instrumental Break
Well, cocaine, pills, and heroin.
Yeah, they'll give you a blissful high.
They can make you think you're invincible. They can make you think you can fly.
Well didn't you learn from Janis?
And didn't you learn from John?
Aw, leaning on drugs will put you six feet under the ground.
Chorus 2
Hey man, I know, you can buck this trend.
But you gotta get off that dead-end road, my friend.
Everyone's life is full of choices,
and your life is just the same.
and your life is just the same.
Do you really need all those chemicals?
Do you really need to play those games?
Well the rain will keep pouring down,
while you sit there in your lost and found.
Man, get on your feet, and turn your life around!
Repeat Chorus 2 (twice)
