Before you started tokin'

You used to have a brain

Nut now you don't get even the simplest of things

I can draw a little picture

Or even use my hands

I try to explain but you just don't understand

Man you're really losing it

And you've really done a lot of junk now

But you keep on abusin' it

What in the world happened to you

It's bad enough you do it to yourself

But taking someone with you

Well you know that's something else

I say I'm not that kind of person

I'm not that kind of man

I try to explain but you just don't understand

I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack

If I thought that you were killing to give a little back

But you do it in the morning

You do it in the night

You lie to refrain from just facing your life

So I'll see you man tomorrow

You'll be gackin' up again

I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent

I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand

I try to explain but you just don't understand
