What could go wrong?


They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, 'No, no, no.'
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, 'No, no, no.'
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go, go, go

The man said, 'Why do you think you're here?'
I said, 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near.'
He said, "I just think you're depressed."
This me "Yeah, baby, and the rest."

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, 'No, no, no.'
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, 'No, no, no.'
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go, go, go

Your Amy's Garden contributed to her death!

She was reading everything on blogs and the evil London newspapers. She was devasted and turned to the bottle, stopped eating, and did a huge amount of drugs.

Do you not have any shame sir?

I've known a lot of Amys in my life. She simply wasn't smart enough, tough enough, or lucky enough. Fame and money makes it a lot harder to face the truth. I'm sure she didn't want to die, but she didn't want life enough either. You're guaranteed no help or magic that will carry over your own weakness. Sometimes that surprises a soul, and it seems sudden, though it never is.

Substance abuse and dependence is a bitch. It starts out with sweet talk like Bill Cosby, and it slips you a ruffy. Then later, when you can't fight back, it takes everything.

Titus, I am surprised that you remembered "Tailes From Amy's Garden" from the halcyclone days of Trooper York. I thought you boasted having the world's shortest mammary and attention span in that department.

The great thing with starting out your career as an unabashed drunk is that no one can ever make the ridiculous excuse that you set yourself up as a "role model".
