Old 97's - Intervention lyrics

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 sh** together got to do it right now All of his friends are feeling the tension Intervention Chorus: We're only here 'cuz we care about you And we want you to get well You're acting like a a**hole 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, "f** 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 b**hing. Intervention Chorus (2x)
