Lyrics Intervention - Old 97's

Intervention

My friend Richard’s in a bad bad way
Waking up beaten up every day
Drinking malt liquor smoking menthols
Diggin' a hole climbing the walls
Yeah, we got to figure out how to get his attention
Intervention
My friend Richard’s on a bad bad trip
Can’t smile too good through a busted up lip
Don’t smile too much no more no how
Got to get his shit together got to do it right now
All of his friends are feeling the tension
Intervention
We’re only here 'cuz we care about you
And we want you to get well
You’re acting like a asshole and we’re sick of it if you can tell
Twenty seven days on a dry vacation
Intervention
Yeah, my friend Richard doesn’t want to go
He says, «Fuck y’all, hell no.»
He’s mystified why we’re so lame
Aw, but if he wakes up dead will he feel the same?
Somebody kick him in the sack just to stop his bitching.
