[Verse 1]
Why do people sell their souls away
Just to ride the horse another day?
They're all slaves to the heroin but it's a war that they'll never win
They'll never live to see the error of their ways

[Chorus]
One foot in the grave
Ruled by the drugs they crave
It all began as a need for kicks
Now they'd sell their lives for a fix
Powerless to break those chains
There's only losses and there's never no gains
They only live and die as a slave
With one foot, one foot in the grave

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
It promised an escape but only lied
Master of the world they're trapped inside
The needle and the spoon only gave
A one way ticket leading to the grave
And suffering until the day they die

[Chorus]
One foot in the grave
Ruled by the drugs they crave
It all began as a need for kicks
Now they'd sell their lives for a fix
Powerless to break those chains
There's only losses and never no gains
They only live and die as a slave
With one foot, one foot in the grave
[Outro]
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
