Ain’t nothing wrong with sipping on a little beer
it’s plain to see you’re well past guzzling
keep slurping it down for fear
Of the boredom and the awkward
and the thoughts that tend to plague you
When you face up to the fact that
it’s the things you’ve done that made you
Drinking while still at home
And you’re drinking when you get there
More sinking out of control until you can’t keep perceiving
All the self doubt and the left out and the reason that you came here
Nothing you do can really matter when you can always blame beer
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
You’re getting pretty loose and feeling pretty tight
Talking how you got it figured out
Shouting bout how you’re so right
But you’re slurred up, an absurd slut
You can’t keep your shit together
You just sound like a big asshole
While you’re feeling you’re so clever
you’re thinking you’re getting close
and you’re thinking that it’s a connection
your drinking will slow your roll and protect you from rejection
but you’ve chugged up and the gigs up all you’ve got left are the last stumblings
as you bumble your way home behind behavior beyond humbling
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
no point washing up or brushing on your teeth
Now that you’re back home on your couch
One last beer before you sleep
Reflect on the night, get untongue-tied
Make a couple un-wise phone-calls
Might as well go all the way gone
ain’t no chance of total recall
you’re opening up your eyes
and you’re seeing that it’s now the morning
your life’s out of control; you never take heed of your own warnings
but you wake up in your makeup and you take up a collection
for the pity party in your head even they know there’s no correction
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
