Lyrics Old 97’s – Intervention

My friend Richard’s in a bad bad way
Waking up beaten up every day
Drinking malt liquor smokin’ menthols
Diggin’ a hole climbin’ the walls

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 his friends are feeling the tension
Intervention

We’re only here ’cause 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’t 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
But if he wakes up dead will he feel the same
Somebody kick him in the sack just to stop his bitching
Intervention

We’re only here ’cause 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’t tell
Twenty-seven days on a dry vacation
Intervention
We’re only here ’cause we care about you
And we want you to get well
