Stick me in your arm and I'll chase away your pain
As you push the plunger I'll drive you insane
And your life depends on me more than you'll ever know
Broken dreams and track marked arms are all you have to show
I can ease your agony but it's traic irony
You think I am a drug that keeps you alive
Day after day as I inmcease my grip
I'm the parasitic leech they call me herion
Hero in a needle just like courage in a can
Think you have control of me but you don't understand
Addiction is a bond held tight by you and me
Try so hard to justify but you just can't see
I'm the parasitic leech called heroin
