Well you've been workin hard
But ya ain't been gettin paid.
Man ya can't get lucky,
And ya can't even get laid.
Ya want out
Ya want out
Wanna sleep like a log
Just need a vacation
But they're workin' you like a dog
So ya can't seem to figure out the right occasion
Just gotta get out
To get out
So ya hit the road
But don't get in your car
Gonna get outta here
And away from it all
When ya gotta stay near
Ya can't afford to go far
The next best thing is to
Hit the bar, oh cus
Everybody loves you when they're drunk.
Everybody loves you when they're drunk.
Ya want to escape
But the boss is always lookin' round
So ya keep your back straight
And ya keep your nose to the ground
You want out,
You want out
Now ya go home
Tired of another day
But ya can't stay in bed,
Not when ya got so much to say.
Just gotta get out
To get out
Ya couldn't stay awake
Can't go to sleep
So you get outta bed
And head down the street
Ya get on your soapbox
As ya take your seat
Cus this is where great minds
Go to meet
Couldn't stay away
Shouldn't be alone
Keep getting' thrown to the wolves
But never thrown a bone
When ya wanna relax
But don't stay home
The best thing's ta do a shot with
Everyone, oh cus
Everybody loves you when they're drunk.
Everybody loves you when they're drunk.
You're sicka breakin' your back
And twistin' your neck
Don't wanna care about your troubles
Til your next paycheck
You think when you're sober
So you drink to forget
And drown your sorrows
In booze and cigarettes
Ain't gonna run away
Or stay at home and hide
Ya gotta solve the world's problems while
You imbibe
Nobody's breakin your balls,
Or bustin' your ass
So now seems like a good time to
Raise a glass oh
To everyone loves you when they're drunk.
Oh cus everbody loves you when they're drunk.

Anger Hangs On Her
03:46
|
|||
She walks through the door
And order a drink
Sits down by herself
And tries not to think
She pours down another
As she gets up to leave
Steps outside herself
To get some relief
But the anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
It's got nowhere to be.
Sits back down questioning
Doesn't know what to believe
So she orders another
To rejoice and to grieve.
With shoulders hunched over
She remembers to breathe
And she orders another
It's a gentle reprieve.
Cus the anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
It won't let her be
The anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
The anger hangs on her
It's got nowhere to be
She keeps going to let go
She gets high only to go so low
She can't accept what she don't know
And not being angry means letting go.
Her glass always empty
Her heart full of grief
If she orders another
Won't get no relief.
She knows it don't matter
If she stays or she goes
She's damned if she doesn't
And she's damned if she does
Cus the anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
It's got nowhere to be
The anger just hangs on her
The anger just hangs on her
The anger hangs on her
It won't let her be

Left Me Lonely Again
03:46
|

Why couldn't you be
Someone I could rely on
Someone I could believe
And decide on
With my face in your neck
I begged ya,
“Please,
Don't leave me!”
Shoulda known
I had it comin'
When ya didn't come
Retrieve me
Instead you
Left me lonely again.
Oh, you
Left me lonely again.
Ooooohs...
Why couldn't I be
Someone you could rely on
Someone you could believe
And decide on
With my face in your neck
I begged ya,
“Please, please
Don't leave me!”
Shoulda known
I had it comin'
When ya didn't come
Retrive me
Instead you
Left me lonely again.
Oh, you
Left me lonely again.
Instrumental bridge
You were so sick of survivin'
You wanted to live
Or die tryin'
With my face in your neck
I begged ya,
“Please, please
Don't leave me!”
Shoulda known I had it comin'
When ya couldn't come
Retrieve me
Instead you
Left me lonely again.
Oh, you
Left me lonely again.

You say you do
But you don't
You say you will
But you won't
You say you will

Ya thought you could
When you couldn't
So ya said you would
When you wouldn't
Ya thought ya can
But you can't
Ya thought you could
But you couldn't
You say you will
When you won't
You say you do
Then you don't
You say you do
Then you don't
You thought you should
But you shouldn't.
You thought you could
But you couldn't.
Well it's that kinda thinkin's
Got you leavin'
Even before you go
And it's that kinda thinkin's
Got you drinkin'
Sinkin' in that hole.
Will you go?
Maybe you will
Or you won't.
