Screeching Weasel Shirley's On Methadone
Shirley's on methadone
She's through with the syringe
Shirley's on methadone
She's off of heroin
One two three four
Shirley is doing well
We're glad to have her home
She slept in vomit
Now she sleeps on methadone
But she stopped ripping off her neighbors
Stopped taking change from strangers
Stopped shooting needles full of dreams
Into her arms
Shirley's on methadone
We see it in her eyes
Sounds so much better
But it's just another high
But she stopped calling at three thirty
Stopped looking thin and dirty
Stopped screaming bloody murder
When she got cut off
Hey
So why don't you stop with your fake solutions?
Stop covering up the truth
And stop trying to make things smooth
And stop acting like she's stupid
Shirley's on methadone [x4]
