Junkie's Promise - Sonic Youth

A hundred dollars used to be more than enough

And now a hundred times a day and still it’s not enough

People always tell me you get what you deserve

All I know is all and all is all I’ve heard

I heard you say: «you know I hate myself

But I love everybody else»

And did you say: «I can’t escape myself»

And then you did and now there’s no one else

To blame you know that I know yeah that times are rough

I’d like to help you out but things are rather tough

People always tell me that you’ve got to lend a helping hand

Nothing in return is all I expect from you my friend

I heard you say: «you know I hate myself

But I love everybody else»

And did you say: «I can’t escape myself»

And then you did and now there’s no one else

I heard you say: «you know I hate myself

But I love everybody else»

And did you say: «I can’t escape myself»

And then you did and now there’s no one else
