Hate is a hard drug When it gets in your blood Spreads likes a poison Till you can't see what you've become And anger's a hard drug It's like playing with matches You can burn your house down Before you even know what happened Oh, these are hard drugs to quit Oh, these are hard drugs to quit And I've tried so many times But they're not easy to kick But here I am, trying again Greed is a hard drug Whether you buy or sell The love of God and money Are two things that don't mix well And fear is a hard drug When it hits your veins I need more than a fix I need a cure, I need Your grace And, oh, these are hard drugs to quit Oh, these are hard drugs to quit I've tried so many times But they're not easy to kick But here I am, trying again Give me peace to accept the things I cannot change And courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference between the two 'Cause what I can't, I know You can do Yeah, what I can't, I know You can do Oh, these are hard drugs to quit Oh, these are hard drugs to quit And I've tried so many times But they're tough as hell to kick Here I am, trying again Oh, I know it, but here I am, trying again
