lyrics

Can’t drink no whiskey,
cuttin’ back on caffeine
Eating food that’s fat free,
tryin’ to keep my nose clean
Lord I know it was killin’ me,
I ain’t ashamed to say
But living without my vices,
makes it hard getting through the day

I’ve got the viceless blues
I’m paying my dues,
I’ve got the viceless blues
It’s so hard to choose
which is worse
Damn! This thirst.
Oh, this is worse.

Can’t inhale anymore,
not even second-hand,
I shop at the health-food store,
cookin’ tofu for the band.
Lord, I know it was killin’ me,
I ain’t too proud to say,
but living without my vices
makes it hard getting on this way

I’ve got the viceless blues....

Though... a friend of mine I knew a while,
Lord, he hit the bottle hard!
Shootin up the junk in style,
never letting down his guard.
Lord, he knew it was killing him --
It ate his soul away –
but living without his vices
Was to hard even for a day

He had the viceless blues,
Never paid his dues,
and now he’s made the news,
too late to choose the reverse.
Man left town in a hearse.
Oh, that’s worse!
