Hate is a hard drug
When it gets in your blood
Spreads like a poison
'Til you can't see what you've become
And anger's a hard drug
It's like playing with matches
You can burn your house down
Before you even know what happened
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
And I've tried so many times
But they're not easy to kick
But here I am, trying again
Greed is a hard drug
Whether you buy or sell
The love of God and money
Are two things that don't mix well
And fear is a hard drug
When it hits your veins
I need more than a fix
I need a cure, I need Your grace
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
I've tried so many times
But they're not easy to kick
But here I am, trying again
Give me peace to accept the things I cannot change
And courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference between the two
'Cause what I can't, I know You can do
Yeah, what I can't, I know You can do
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
I've tried so many times
But they're tough as hell to kick
Here I am, trying again
Oh, I know it, but
Here I am, trying again
