badges of intolerance

believing that it's their defence for me

Don't they see there's no hiding?

There's no hiding, yeah

Cged souls cry

black tongues lie

behind walls of ignorance

armed with indifference for me

Don't they see

there's no hiding from me?

There's no hiding from me

There's no hiding from me

So where are you going to go, huh?

(RADIO):
Wake up, it's seven a.m..!

Welcome to ''The Sunrise Party''.

Howmany ofyou have already broken

their New Year's resolution. Give us a call

(STRETCH):
It's going to be

a f***ing nightmare day, I just feel it.

(SPOON):
Are you going to complain all day?

I said I'd kick,

but I didn't say I was going to like it.

- Oh, f***!

- Sh*t!

I told you we should have left early.

Koolaid, how are you doing, n*gger?

What's up, Pecker Wood?

- What are you doing here?

- What are youdoing here?

- New Year's resolution.

- Me, too.

What's the point of

turning getting high into a job, right?

Getting high is supposed to be fun, right?

- What's going up, Spoon?

- How are you doing?

Did you hear about Kosher Dill?.

Oh, man! He got off light and went south.

- With some fine-ass Cuban b*tch.

- Really?

I hear you're doing some kind of

poetry sh*t, or something.

Yes, something.

- So how doth that sh*t be going?

- Good.

- When do the doors open?

- They're already open.

Is this your first time trying to get into rehab?

- Yeah.

- How about you, Grey Boy?

- Yeah.

- Have you all got a Medicaid card?

No.

You've got to have a Medicaid card

to get into the programme.

F***, I ain't got no f***ing Medicaid card.

Am I supposed to

get out and get one now? F*** that!

If you sign up for the HIV test, they say

they'll get you into the programme sooner.

Otherwise, it takes six weeks.

I ain't taking no damn HIV test.

(NURSE):
Hold still, please.

I didn't want to have to do this.

What are you going to do?

Press the cotton on that spot, please.

OK, the results will be in tomorrow, gentlemen.

You may go to the front desk

to receive your 40 dollars.

Show them this yellow card.

Your name will be placed on

an HIV-tested waiting list.

It'lltake a week to ten days to get into detox,

and you'll need to bring in your Medicaid

card at that time. Thanks, gentlemen.

Yeah, thanks...

..for nothing, b*tch. I don't know

if I want to kick in ten f***ing days.

Let's try St James'.

I want to stop by Mud and pick up some bags.

- It's not even 10 o'clock!

- But I haven't had a blow, yet.

No point in walking around sick.

Might as well save that 'til after detox.

I'm going to need some support

if we're going to do this.

I'm with you.

So, what the f*** happened?

You f***ed your sh*t up.
