hooked on love

Lyrics

hooked on love, i saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag, another young man sucking on butane gas, i saw them reaching for a hand to hold, the next minute they were both stone cold, don't abuse your body, better use your brain, this generation's going insane, better hooked on love, that's a better drug, don't abuse your body, better use your brain, this generation's going insane, better hooked on love, that's a better drug, i found a young girl lying in a pool of blood, she had the mark of needles and a lack of love, i saw her friends who told her 'she's a fool to try', but never dream she was bound to die, don't abuse your body, better use your brain, this generation's going insane, better hooked on love, that's a better drug, and when the street sharp man next comes around, you better keep your head, you better stand your ground, no matter what the pressure, never make a deal, he might touch but he never can feel, don't abuse your body, better use your brain, this generation's going insane, better hooked on love, that's a better drug, and then i saw you cruising' through the wild west end, can't change the habits of a lifetime debt, now you're moving closer to the killing floor, you're half dead but you need to score, so don't get your kicks, for too high a price, the next time won't be so nice, better hooked on love, that's a better drug, if you're feeling bored without a thing to do, you wanna be somebody then it's up to you, i ain't trying to tell you how to live your life, you might run but you never can hide, don't abuse your body, better use your brain, this generation's going insane, better hooked on love, that's a better drug, so don't get your kicks, for too high a price, the next time won't be so nice, better hooked on love, that's a better drug,
