[00:00.35]Been This Way Before - Roger
[00:20.27]Well I been on the scene
[00:21.59]For a mighty long time
[00:22.70]I never use drugs
[00:23.87]Because I find
[00:24.73]
[00:25.29]It meant destruction
[00:26.07]To some friends of mine
[00:27.44]
[00:27.97]Dope is mean
[00:28.99]Dope is unkind
[00:29.81]
[00:30.45]Just like a bad dream
[00:31.55]Always on my mind
[00:32.50]
[00:38.10]But from a bad dream
[00:39.31]You will awake
[00:40.09]Taking drugs
[00:40.78]Is the final mistake
[00:42.15]
[00:42.72]I tripped about drugs
[00:43.88]And this story I tell
[00:45.11]So listen all you people
[00:46.45]And listen well
[00:47.49]
[00:52.30]Well it seems to me
[00:54.26]That I been this way before
[00:55.59]I seen these sights
[00:56.53]Just where I'm not sure
[00:58.59]Maybe in my dreams
[00:59.42]Or a story told
[01:00.29]I would know these warnings
[01:01.65]Even with a blindfold
[01:02.81]
[01:08.36]I know this path
[01:09.31]Has an evil lead
[01:10.63]You know it's evil and it's lurking
[01:12.20]In the summer breeze
[01:13.15]Yes it's evil and it's lurking
[01:14.54]Off to my side
[01:15.55]But I have no fear
[01:16.85]Because I been here
[01:18.10]Dig it, dig it
[01:21.20]
[01:28.34]I been this way before
[01:29.60]
[01:30.92]The path is dark and so unsure
[01:32.75]
[01:33.56]Filled with warnings
[01:34.31]That we all ignore
[01:35.65]I got to keep my eyes open
[01:37.40]So I don't miss the door
[01:38.74]
[01:40.73]You got to keep your eyes open
[01:42.26]So you don't miss the door, dig it
[01:44.22]
[01:45.64]We got to keep our eyes open
[01:47.27]So we don't miss the door, dig it
[01:51.34]
[01:58.31]Now dig up, everybody
[01:59.32]This is what I got to say
[02:01.15]You got to choose real careful
[02:02.78]
[02:03.96]Not to go astray
[02:05.41]Well I know this Joe, he is useless, yeat
[02:07.80]Without wine, women, fun and song
[02:09.00]But even wine, women, fun and song
[02:10.98]Can lead you wrong
[02:11.96]If you don't know you gotta be strong
[02:13.73]
[02:15.30]I been here before
[02:16.22]
[02:17.46]Well the path is rough
[02:19.89]For rich and poor
[02:21.22]Young and old, you see I know
[02:23.56]You. know the road
[02:24.65]Has so many, so many
[02:26.38]Highways and bi-ways
[02:27.90]
[02:28.52]And both ways and more ways
[02:30.68]
[02:31.35]Right ways and wrong ways
[02:33.70]There's so many ways
[02:34.65]You know you better choose right
[02:36.21]
[02:46.26]Dig it
[02:46.82]
[02:53.83]Here lies such a lovely flower
[02:55.56]Just look at it sighin'
[02:57.11]As it lies among the vines
[02:58.95]I got to watch out
[03:00.15]As it lies in its spendor
[03:01.50]'Cause I know that it's waiting
[03:02.95]There to hinder
[03:04.28]But it can't fool me
[03:05.97]'Cause I know, yes I know
[03:07.44]'Cause I know that it's poison ivy
[03:09.08]
[03:12.89]Well poison ivy makes me think
[03:15.07]About a friend I had
[03:16.37]Makes me think about a friend
[03:17.84]Who was my enemy
[03:18.78]Yes he offered me a pill
[03:20.32]And said my brain would heal
[03:22.32]But his pill only gave me
[03:23.65]A temporary thrill
[03:24.22]I was trapped like a slave
[03:26.13]I was trapped like a slave
[03:27.53]For the slow slow kill
[03:29.22]This dope would steal
[03:30.13]Now a bottle of dope
[03:31.30]Gives me a cold chill
[03:34.02]
[03:35.41]Leave the crack alone
[03:36.51]
[03:37.85]Leave the crack alone
[03:39.25]I would rather get
[03:40.09]The legal stuff that they distill
[03:41.35]And be better off
[03:42.27]From now until
[03:43.87]Because you see I know
[03:45.10]Because I've been here
[03:46.59]I been this way before
[03:48.13]

[03:55.73]So I don't miss the door
[03:56.84]

[04:00.32]So you don't miss the door, dig it

[04:06.75]
