Alcohol

I can make anybody pretty. I can make you believe any lie. I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size. Well, I've been known to cause a few break-ups, An' I've been known to cause a few births. Well, I can make you new friends, or get you fired from work. And since the day I left Milwaukee, Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France, Been making the bars lots of big money, An' helpin' white people dance. I got you in trouble in High School, But College, now that was a ball. You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me: Alcohol; Alcohol. I got blamed at your wedding reception, For your best man's embarrassing speech. And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach. I've influenced Kings and world leaders, I helped Hemingway write like he did. And I'll bet you a drink or two, that I can make you put that lampshade on your head. 'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee, Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France, I been making a fool out of folks just like you, An' helping white people dance. I am medicine and I am poison, I can help you up or make you fall. You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me: Alcohol. Yeah, since the day I left Milwaukee, Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France, Been making the bars lots of big money, (Helpin' white people dance.) Yeah, I got you in trouble in High School, But College, now that was a ball. You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me: Alcohol; Alcohol. (Alcohol.) (Alcohol.) Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. To Fade.
