Re: Why cant we sleep for over

Drugs can do good things for us but once you're addicted you're pretty well fucked. Unless you're Keith Richards as Bill Hicks points out ;)

For me this track is about the darker side of drugs. I guess the video is the best example of that. That little dude keeps trying to hide his box of stash but inevitably he always goes back to it because he can't resist.

"Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever."

That's like saying "I wish I hadn't become addicted to drugs. I wish I could go back and start over so I could use drugs again without becoming addicted". Any addict knows the answer to this question. They can't. If they do they'll become addicted again, that's just the way it is for them.
