lyrics

Hey, open up your eyes
You've got to see
Alcohol fills your world with lies
Listen to me

(Don't be a dope)
It's no good when you're drinkin
(Tell your friends no)
It won't show you the way
(Try usin your head)
Hey, you'd better start thinkin
(You might end up dead)
Bein' straight is okay

It seems so very nice
Ah, but, you'd best be lookin twice
Cuz ya, will hafta pay a price
You're gonna [lose
Someday]

Do you believe when they
Tell you it's neat?
Don't fall for what they say
Let me repeat

(Don't be a fool)
Can't you see it can hurt you?
(Playin' it cool)
Gettin drunk for a thrill
(Decide on your own)
Real friends won't desert you
(Leave it alone)
Don't you know it can kill?

It seems so very nice
Ah, but, you'd best be lookin twice
Cuz ya, will hafta pay a price
You're gonna [lose
Someday]

(Don't be a dope)
It's no good when you're drinkin
(Tell your friends no)
It won't show you the way
(Try usin your head)
Hey, you'd better start thinkin
(You might end up dead)
Bein' straight is okay

(Don't be a dope)
