(Verse One)
Red, Blue, Green
all seem obscene.
Till your Popping them down
just to find a thrill.

Spinning and dancing
seeing neon lights
hands rubbing making
me feel alright.

Waking to a bleach blonde
who wakes an wishes me the best.
As she left my only thoughts
who the hell was that.

(Chorus)
Man I never wanted to be like this.
I had a future just like the rest.
Started as a Seaman in the navy

an boy, look how I sunk at sea.

Rolling out of bed just to see
how this year has taken care of me.
Pale, sickly soon to be dead,
less I took this heroin lead out of me!

(Verse Two)
Went out again tonight but
it was black and white
glowing bright
with ecstasy delight.

Flew to see mom and dad
It was Thanksgivings Day.
Daddy took me a away
to do some hunting today.

He said

(Chorus)
Boy you never wanted to be like this.
You still have a future just like Jess.
As a boy you wanted to be a navy man,
settled with enlistment.
Somehow deep-six yourself.

Just looking at you,
boy what the hell?
Your sickly, pale, damn near dead.
I'm sorry son I screwed up with you.

(Verse Three)
Thought bout what my daddy said,
how I am lost and need to be found.
Not much longer my momma called
saying boy better get back home.

She found him on the ground
foaming in a comatose.
Note in hand.

Boy I never wanted to come to this.
It was either me or you in the end.
No one should out live their son
so take care of your mother.

Red, blue, and green
is all obscene.
Cant pop no more,
I have had my thrills.
