Analysis of I Can't Identify with That
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
I do not drink some alcohol
To celebrate for fun.
Nor do I have beliefs at all
About it being done.
I do not smoke some cigarettes.
The way my lungs would be,
Because the smoke won't ever let
Good health be there for me.
I do not take illegal drugs
Regardless of a law,
My mind is happy with some hugs
While drugs are mental flaws.
