Sugar Danger

Verse 1
Sugar tastes like comfort and shines like gold,
But it takes its toll. You must be told,
Blood runs high, then strength runs dry,
You pay later for a sugar high.

Verse 2
Good cholesterol slips away,
Bad numbers climb day after day,
Blood pressure’s up. Heart works hard,
Poison’s enjoyed, but body’s marred.

Chorus
Hey—sugar, like a friend, struts.
It shakes your hand, then kicks your butt.
What goes down sweet, turns vile and mean.
You’re creating your own polluted stream.

Verse 3
That savory sweetness hits your liver,
May harm it deep. May make it quiver.
Just like booze, it lays down fat,
You get bit by the poison rat.

Verse 4
Sugar steals from your life
Locks up joints, adds to strife.
Skin goes slack. Mirrors don’t lie.
Years rolls on and hasten “goodbye.”

Chorus
Hey—sugar, like a friend, struts.
It shakes your hand, then kicks your butt.
What goes down sweet, turns vile and mean.
You’re creating your own polluted stream.

Verse 5
Teeth get chewed by acid rain,
Bugs throw parties, we feel the pain,
Still one big debt you will owe,
Are dental bills. You’ve got to know.

Verse 6
Up like a rocket, down like a stone,
Short on patience, lost in the foam,
Fog in the head, fire in the nerves,
Borrowed energy is short served.

Chorus
Hey—sugar, like a friend, struts.
It shakes your hand, then kicks your butt.
What goes down sweet, turns vile and mean.
You’re creating your own polluted stream.
