1984 lyrics

My friend, you're gonna lose I don't understand the paths you choose It's your life, but you know as well as I You can't fill an empty plate by piling on the spice You can't fill an empty plate by piling on the spice My friend, take a look inside Look at the person who resides How long before you get your fill? Before you realize you can't medicate away all all your ills? Before you realize you can't medicate away all all your ills? CHORUS: My friend, look at those things you do The only one you fool is you It's your life and you can toss the dice but you can't fill an empty plate by piling on the spice You can't fill an empty plate by piling on the spice CHORUS: That's why I don't even try That's why I don't even try
