True Confessions

Hooked on love 


I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag 
Another young man sucking on butane gas 
I saw them reaching for a hand to hold 
The next minute they were both stone cold 


Don't abuse your body 
Better use your brain 
This generation's going insane 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love) 


Don't abuse your body 
Better use your brain 
This generation's going insane 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love) 


I found a young girl lying in a pool of blood 
She had the mark of needles and a lack of love 
I saw her friends who told her 'She's a fool to try' 
But never dream she was bound to die 


Don't abuse your body 
Better use your brain 
This generation's going insane 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love) 


And when the street sharp man next comes around 
You better keep your head, you better stand your ground 
No matter what the pressure, never make a deal 
He might touch but he never can feel 


Don't abuse your body 
Better use your brain 
This generation's going insane 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love) 


And then I saw you cruising' through the wild west end 
Can't change the habits of a lifetime debt 
Now you're moving closer to the killing floor 
You're half dead but you need to score 


So don't get your kicks 
For too high a price 
The next time won't be so nice 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love) 


If you're feeling bored without a thing to do 
You wanna be somebody then it's up to you 
I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life 
You might run but you never can hide 


Don't abuse your body 
Better use your brain 
This generation's going insane 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love) 


So don't get your kicks 
For too high a price 
The next time won't be so nice 
Better hooked on love 
(Hooked on love) 
That's a better drug 
(Hooked on love)
