For Another Stint of Time

from Trigger Warning by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

People droning on/ how God can save their souls
NA meetings/are a condition of my parole
Drugs aren’t the problem, they just got me high; it’s the lack of drugs gets u in strife
Watch me drool on the carpet and there’d be no crime; just an endless supply “

CHORUS
Not saying I want another stint of time
I’m just saying I know I’d survive
Next time though I’ll go out in style
For another stint of time

It’s the simple pleasures/connect you to society
Talking to someone in a queue, on the escalator, say excuse me
I helped a woman off the bus with a pram; like any other generous young man
I felt good about myself like you never would inside; kept that part of me alive

CHORUS

I watched them pull up at the mall, get out of the armoured van
Fill the ATM with 20s and 50s, maybe 200 grand
The guards’ fat fingers too big to fit, squeeze the pistol trigger
Just need a partner to stay calm for guy in the van who’s armed
