Текст песни: Ballad of Addiction + перевод

You’re sitting in front of your beer,

Your wife’s at home shedding a tear,

Your daughter’s in bed in a mess,

To yourself you try to confess,

To you everything is right as rain,

You can’t see that your families in pain,

The suffering they’ve gone through so far,

Cause every night you’re drunk at the bar

If only you’d realise what you have done,

Your family’s been missing you since you’ve been gone,

Everyday of their live’s, living out the shame,

Everyone but you knows you’re the one to blame,

Reflect on time’s when both of your live’s were in a rut,

But with determination and help, bad ties were cut,

Father’s retired and living happy with his wife,

Your son’s engaged and has kids and leads a healthy life

Your son is lying rough on the streets,

He’s begging off everyone he meets,

He’s trying to get his hands on a score,

He’s strung out at heroin’s door,

Arrested for possession of smack,

Some pills, some dope, acid and crack,

You’re up so high you think that you’re fine,

But you don’t know your life’s on the line.

If only you’d realise what you have done,

Your family’s been missing you since you’ve been gone,

Everyday of their live’s, living out the shame,

Everyone but you knows you’re the one to blame,

Reflect on time’s when both of your live’s were in a rut,

But with determination and help, bad ties were cut,

Father’s retired and living happy with his wife,

Your son’s engaged and has kids and leads a healthy life

You’re sitting in front of the bar again,

Your drinking problem’s gone too far again

You try to get your life back on track,

You’ve got to get your family back,

Your flatmate’s lying dead on the floor,

You didn’t think he took much more,

You realise this might be the time,

To get your life back in line

If only you’d realise what you have done,

Your family’s been missing you since you’ve been gone,

Everyday of their live’s, living out the shame,

Everyone but you knows you’re the one to blame,

Reflect on time’s when both of your live’s were in a rut,

But with determination and help, bad ties were cut,

Father’s retired and living happy with his wife,

Your son’s engaged and has kids and leads a healthy life

If only you’d realise, If only you’d realise
