lyrics

Beer contains alcohol, which is a drug. Some adults may choose to drink beer once in a while.
Alcohol can hurt kids. Your body is still growing, and drugs and alcohol can really hurt it.

hey open up your eyes
you've got to see
alcohol fills your world with lies
listen to me

don't be dope
its no good when you're drinking
tell your friends no
it wont show you the way
try using your head
hey you better start thinking
you might end up dead
being straight is ok

it seems so very nice
but you best be looking twice
because you will have to pay a price
you're gonna lose some day

do you believe when they
tell you its neat
don't fall for what they say
let me repeat

don't be a fool
cant you see it can hurt you
playin it cool
getting drunk for a thrill
decide on your own
real friends wont desert you
leave it alone
don't you know it can kill

Beer and wine coolers contain alcohol. They are very dangerous for kids. They are also illegal for you to use. TV commercials make things look nice because they want you to buy the products. They don’t show that alcohol can make people sick, cause car crashes, get them into problems with the law, and lead to all sorts of trouble for drinkers and their families.
