Lyric 1984

My friend, you re gonna lose
I don t understand the paths you choose
It s your life, but you know as well as I
You can t fill an empty plate by piling on the spice
You can t fill an empty plate by piling on the spice

My friend, take a look inside
Look at the person who resides
How long before you get your fill?
Before you realize you can t medicate away all all your ills?
Before you realize you can t medicate away all all your ills?

CHORUS:

My friend, look at those things you do
The only one you fool is you
It s your life and you can toss the dice
but you can t fill an empty plate by piling on the spice
You can t fill an empty plate by piling on the spice

CHORUS:
That s why I don t even try
That s why I don t even try
