lyrics

INTRO:
Addiction's more than just unsightly
So don't think I say this lightly...
I liked you better when you were on the drugs

CHORUS:
I liked you better when
you were on the drugs
That cloud of smoke
counterbalanced your humbug
Now you cleaned up and found God
but I sure miss that heathen slob
I liked you better when
you were on the drugs

Those grams helped you
keep your anger at bay
Now you're feeling every ounce
of your pain
Withdrawl's hard to contain
but detoxing on me's inhumane
I liked you better when
you were on the drugs

CHORUS

Now you're hearing nasty things
I never said
Can't decide if it's you or me
you wish were dead
You clearly took them for a reason
Now your demeanor ain't too pleasin'
I liked you better when
You were on the drugs

CHORUS

I don't do those things
too much myself
People give 'em to me
they just sit up on the shelf
But the way you're acting sober
makes me wanna get messed up 'til October
I liked you better when
you were on the drugs

FINAL CHORUS:
I liked you better when
you were on the drugs
That cloud of smoke counterbalanced
your humbug
Now you cleaned up and found God
But I sure miss that heathen slob
You got that monkey out of your pool
but he sure helped you keep your cool
In your newfound sobriety you're bitching
almost as much as me
I liked you better when
you were on the drugs (x3)

END
