CMG (Crystal Meth Graduate)

Revised, written 1/7/06

 

Sign me up, cooks needed right away

Try sales and service, benefits and pay

Poison your mind, it is so much fun

You can’t blame me when the damage is done

 

Chorus:

I’m a crystal meth graduate with experience too

This job must be too good to be true

Plenty of dryers in my run-down home

Really don’t care if the neighborhood explodes

 

It’s so easy to steal the supplies that I need

Anhydrous ammonia, Sudafed, and bleach

Farmers get mad but why should I care?

I made them change the laws, but life isn’t fair

 

Toxic clouds on the back roads at night

Drive on through, become paralyzed and blind

You will suffer from what I have caused

I’m not bothered by your discriminating laws

 

I’m a genius of modern chemistry

A hopeless addiction is a golden ticket for me

Now I am sky high and my house is gone

Do not understand what went wrong

 

Coda:

CMG, CMG, I wish they would leave

CMG, CMG, who needs a PhD?

My personal thoughts on this horrible drug epidemic. It amazes me that this crap is so easy to make, anyone becomes a genius of modern chemistry. Southern Illinois has a real bad meth problem, a lady drove through a cloud of the meth labs and was paralyzed as a result. Things are out of control, and now a person cannot even buy Sudafed anymore thanks to these meth makers. They show no disregard for endangering innocent lives when their labs go sky high. This song looks at an underground network of schools that teach third grade dropouts to cook and distribute this crap.
