Intervention - Old 97's

My friend Richard's in a bad bad way
Waking up beaten up every day
Drinking malt liquor smoking menthols
Diggin' a hole climbing the walls.
Yeah, we got to figure out how to get his attention.
Intervention.

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 of his friends are feeling the tension.
Intervention.

Chorus:

We're only here 'cuz 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 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.
Aw, but if he wakes up dead will he feel the same?
Somebody kick him in the sack just to stop his bitching. Intervention.

Chorus (2x)
