Intervention - Margaret Cho

It’s not your birthday

But all your friends and family are here

What’s the occasion?

'Cause the motive seem unclear

Some are happy, some are shedding lots of tears

They’re saying now

What they should have said for years

We’re doing this 'cause

We’re concerned about your health

We’re doing this to, save you from yourself

Welcome, to your intervention

We need some of your attention

You’ve got a problem we must mention

We’re not gonna put you in detention

But we think you need, think you need

An intervention

We know all of the paramedics on a first name basis

Don’t you see how bloated

Your pretty face is

Time forgives, time erases

Time will catch what the dragon chases

We will (?)mend (?) what we lost to the (?)meth (?)

And we’re sick of loving you to death

Welcome, to your intervention

We need some of your attention

You’ve got a problem we must mention

We’re not gonna put you in detention

But we think you need, think you need
