Intervention Lyrics - Most Messed Up - 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)
