Drugs Are For Cowards And Wimps

A real man works hard and suffers a bit,
But you will not hear him throw a big fit,
A real woman labors and does not complain,
From - self-pity - she’ll always refrain.

Drugs are for cowards and wimps.

Real women and men, will try things again,
Not making excuses or hiding just when,
Things start to get tough, they know life is rough,
They learn how to deal with the difficult stuff.

Drugs are for cowards and wimps.

Excuses are easy, and plentiful too,
And chemicals are so easy to do.
They feel good at first and make you feel well,
Then suddenly your life is a living hell.

Drugs are for cowards and wimps.

They need not hide from life’s dark side,
Real women and men face life side by side.
They do what it takes, and make some mistakes,
But keep on trying for their family’s sakes.

Drugs are for cowards and wimps.
