Who drinks the barley?
Who drinks the grain?
Who shoots the shit into their veins?
Is there really the need for the use of dope?
Can it solve one's problem?
Can it help one cope?
Something must be wrong when one slurs to talk
It hast to be hard when it's difficult to walk
The best thing to know is to know one's fate
It's easiest done when the person is straight

Straight and alert
Straight and alert
Straight and alert
Straight and alert

Straight and alert
Straight and alert
Straight and alert
Straight and alert

Being high doesn't mean that much to me
There's much more to life than I can see
I can't wander around in an unaware state
Know where I am have to be able to relate
I don't think that I'm too good
It doesn't mean I have feelings that you never could
Something beyond a statement of my pride
Something solid makes me feel good inside
