A new song by musician and social innovator Colin Mutchler about some of the things we are and could choose to be addicted to in these early days of the 21st century.
drugs of choice
Colin Mutchler, 2009
she wakes from sleep, deep from ambien treats
down for hot wet drops from columbian beans
then she drives goodbye with her kid back seat
moving fuel chewed from a desert heat
I sit alone, with my fragile bones
got my crackberry malls and my twittered drones
bleeding eyes, multiplayer moans
got my youporn love feeling facebook stoned
chorus
who's got the power,
when we follow the noise?
it's our drugs of choice
we love our drugs of choice
2nd stanza:
then I walk downstairs for a midday break
got no time to dine, no sun on my face
so my food machine spits out fresh direct
and stumbles sandwich crumbs on my keyboard desk
so I scan sales in the amazon rain
last chance dance to heal our lonely pain
maybe if I buy her that diamond star
to fill that plastic wrapped widget packet hole in my heart
chorus
who's got the power,
when we follow the toys?
it's our drugs of choice
we love to buy, drugs of choice
3rd stanza:
and then she takes a drink, like a gladwell blink
suddenly face to face with the way she thinks
she asks, "what's the source of the clothes I wear,
the meat I eat, and the trash burned through the air"
where does it come from
where is it going
where does it come from
where are we going
though she chokes smoke from the 10 o'clock blues
seeing god's facade fueling family feuds,
she seals her ears with pod filled tunes
and walks the talk as her mood future moves
everything's possible in her mind
everything's possible in our time
your mind I want to fall back into life,
don't fall don't crawl,
just rock n roll, and choose your fuel
cause the drugs I use, feed my fuse
let's replace the waste with waste that's food
chorus
we've got the power,
when we choose the view
to use our drugs of choice
live life like, a drug of choice
