Joining the coping crowd

lyrics by Emily Haines

Whatever it is spit it into a bottle and sell it to me.
I'm looking to buy freedom from my sobriety,
Just like Huey Lewis.

I need a new drug
I need a new drink
I need a new drug that does what it should.

So take me to the bank,
Take me to the bar.
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but...

Take me to the bank.
Can you take me to the bar?
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but how I wanna hide

The next time you visit me here.
How about coming out to my place,
We can sit on the floor and play my brother's records.
We can sit on the grownup bed.

Couple with the coin,
Lighting up to join the coping crowd.
My big brother said to stay unsatisfied,
Never work a day to pay off pure desire.
Couple with the coin,
Lighting up to join the coping crowd
