Lyrics
I like - bein' clean (No drugs in my body)
I like - bein' clean (No junk in my soul)
I like - bein' clean (No drugs in my body)
I like - bein' clean (I love self-control)
Cigarettes stink, and alcohol reeks.
And I'll never put that snuff in my cheeks.
Needles and pills are for those who are sick
Don't try cocaine! Addiction comes quick.
If someone asks you to light up a joint,
You will say, "NO! Do you get the point?"
If you do drugs, you will lie, steal and cheat.
Your life will go up in the smoke of defeat.
If you do drugs, then you will get caught.
They'll throw you in jail, and there you will rot.
If you stay clean, your problems are few.
There's so many wonderful things you can do.
