[Verse 1]
Hate is a hard drug
When it gets in your blood
Spreads likes 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And, 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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
And 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
