Intervention - Old 97's

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.
