Stranger at the Door (22)

Stranger at the Door

1

Hey Suzie, will you take me

I’m on top of life today

Admittedly for a while

The alcohol held sway

Not that I can remember

With the liquor in my blood

Resulting in my thinking

Being as clear as mud

I am right behind you Suzie; you will save the world for sure

From the culture of consumption and its appetite for war

With your followers of fifty plus a stranger at the door

Let’s begin the revolution if we can evade the law

Instructed by the wealthy to persecute the poor

Supported by the corporates rotten to the core

2

Oh Suzie, will you take me

I am on the mend today

My life wasn’t working

Before discovering AA

It feels good to be sober

I don’t wake up with a head

To remind me of the alcohol

A short distance from my bed

I am right behind you Suzie; you will save the world for sure

From the culture of consumption and its appetite for war

With your followers of fifty plus a stranger at the door

Let’s begin the revolution if we can evade the law

Instructed by the wealthy to persecute the poor

Supported by the corporates rotten to the core

3

Oh Suzie, will you take me

I’ve entered a new phase

And now feel a lot better

Than my alcoholic days

Once my mind recovers

From a decade of abuse

You will find a new person

On the wagon you can use

I am right behind you Suzie; you will save the world for sure

From the culture of consumption and its appetite for war

With your followers of fifty plus a stranger at the door

Let’s begin the revolution if we can evade the law

Instructed by the wealthy to persecute the poor

Supported by the corporates rotten to the core

4

Oh Suzie, will you take me

I would love to join the crew

You can call me on my phone

If you decide that I might do

Please believe me when I say

You have nothing much to lose

And that I will do my best

To be worthy of the rest

In your fabulous quest

With the AA as my weapon and not booze

I am right behind you Suzie; you will save the world for sure

From the culture of consumption and its appetite for war

With your followers of fifty plus a stranger at the door

Let’s begin the revolution if we can evade the law

Instructed by the wealthy to persecute the poor

Supported by the corporates rotten to the core

The End
