The Apology Of The Thai Drug Runner lyrics

[Verse 1]
Drugs are f*ckin' fun, pal
Factor that f*ckin' in
To your Drug O-f*ckin'-ffensive-type
Health f*ckin' warning
There ain't a lot that's fun, pal
Old age and school and dreams
Of a life that will never be
Sexless nights, wasted schemes
Your horizon still receding
Speeding hope that's fruitless
A sudden cliff and skidding
Then descent to twisted rest

[Chorus]
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Serene and total peace (They're not fun, pal)
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Serene and total peace

[Verse 2]
I could'a stayed at home, pal
And lived a joyless life
But where the f*ck's the fun in that?
Superannuation, wife
The whole f*ckin' package?
For me, it never suited
A soft-c*ck life and limp death?
Go and get f*cking rooted
There might be fun in poetry
And art and being literate
It never hit the spot for me
Nor you, though you won't admit to it
[Chorus]
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Hear the distant gong beat
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Hear the distant gong beat

[Verse 3]
You say you got a PhD?
Well, good for you, my son
How smart you f*ckin' need to be
To work out that drugs are fun?
Have a f*cking bash, pal
Take this suspect load
And give it to a mate of mine
Who lives on the Pat Pong Road
You ever felt the warmin' waves
In the Gulf of old Siam?
Ever wanted to ever be
A different f*ckin' man?

[Chorus]
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Foil parcels in my teeth
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Foil parcels in my teeth
[Verse 4]
You need to hear the Mekong flood
It's an awesome f*ckin' sound
Take this package quickly, pal
They've come to chain me f*ckin' down
They bolt me to a concrete floor
Don't get all moral, son
There's sixty of us goes in here
We all think that drugs are fun
Fifty years in a Thailand hell
Twenty grams of smack up my ass
Why? 'Cause drugs are f*ckin' fun
Why the f*ck you need to ask?
Let's do the deal

[Chorus]
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Did a deal at the fat guy's feet
Sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Did a deal at the fat guy's feet
