Time in a bottle, but no place to hide and no

explanation for those that have died.

The young and the innocent, the weak and the

strong, there's no protection, something has to be

wrong.

A few drinks after work, to wash away a hard day,

but on the way home a child had to pay.

Tempers are hot, the liquor is cool, another wife

goes down to the gun of a fool.

Friends get together, a few beers at the beach

a buddy just drowned, a hand thay couldn't reach.

Prom night at a high school, they drink and they

dance the teenagers in the car never had a chance.

I read it in the paper day in and day out, some

don't understand what the fuss is about.

Legalized poison in bottles and cans, just pain

and misery you can hold in your hand.

A dangerous weapon with lasting effects, just

look at the lives and homes it has wrecked.

Education's the answer, don't drink and drive,

try to control anger, let's try to save our lives...
