BENEVOLENCE

We all love you
Out here in Rosebud Alberta
We’re not ashamed of you Ben
We’re concerned
We understand
We don’t think it was very grand
But steroids are only a drug
… only a drug
An’ drugs are just somethin’ yuh do
… somethin’ yuh do
One man’s passion
Another man’s poison
So what’re yuh supposed to do?

You’re still our idol
Out here in Rosebud Alberta
You’re still our number one guy
You tried
And you lied
An’ some of us cried
But steroids are only a drug
… only a drug
An’ drugs am just somethin’ yuh do
… somethin’ yuh do
One man’s passion’s
Another man’s poison
So what’re yuh supposed to do?
