Is instant gratification worth long-term consequences?

lyrics

PLEASURE AND PAIN

CHORUS: IS THE PLEASURE, WORTH THE PAIN?
WHAT IN LIFE DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN
IS THE PLEASURE, WORTH THE PAIN?
WHAT IN THIS LIFE DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN

VERSE: FOR WHAT YOU DO TODAY
TOMORROW YOU WILL PAY
FOR ONE CHEAP THRILL
CAN YOU AFFORD THE BILL
TODAY, MAY SEEM SO GREAT
BUT TOMORROW IT ‘S TOO LATE
WOULD YOU GET HIGH
IF TOMORROW YOU DIE?

CHORUS:

VERSE: TAKE IT FROM ME
NOTHING WE DO IS FREE
THAT PLEASURE YOU CRAVE
WILL MAKE YOU A SLAVE.
SHUFFLING ON TO DEATH
AS YOU BREATH ONE LAST BREATH
IF TODAY YOU FLY
TOMORROW YOU MAY DIE.

CHORUS:

VERSE: FOR PLEASURE, THINGS YOU DO
MAY MAKE YOU BLUE
FOR PLEASURE IN YOUR BRAIN
YOU GET TO SUFFER LOTS OF PAIN
CAN YOU BREAK THE CHAIN
OR DO YOU WANT TO FEEL THE PAIN
IF TODAY YOU FLY
TOMORROW YOU MAY DIE.

CHORUS:
