And you're
sitting there
wondering why is it like this
And the whole world's crazy
and the earth is sick
And someone's yelling
from the bathroom door
The toilet's overflowing on the floor
And the one by the phone
says I cannot hear
While the one by the jukebox
spills his beer
And the man on the pinball
hits sixteen mil
Someone ducks behind the counter
to pipe a pill
And you reach in your pocket
to see if there's more
An d the biggest bill falls
so you're left with four
And you're too gone to
look while you still try
Then you see it in the hand
of a great big guy
He looks just like he'd kill you fast,
and you think for a minute, you let it pass
And the stool falls over
when you sit back down,
pumps a mean poor shooter
from across the town
He misses his shot, it's all on you,
and with your last four bucks
you know what you do
Sorry man, can I buy you a drink?
And he shakes his head and says,
make it a double one
And the next thing you know
you wake up at home
And the little one there won't
leave you alone
She's awake and hungry,
she needs some potty help
And you remember what happened
last time she tried it by herself
And your wife says, hurry,
we're late for church
And you can barely see,
your head still hurts
And the preacher starts preaching
and you feel remorse
He's got five little kids
and a big divorce
And your wife looks down
and says she don't know how
He's been her guiding light
for ten years now
And his marriage is over, it's barely alive
How in the hell will I ever
survive?
And the stool falls over
when you sit back down
It bumps a mean poor shooter
from across the town
He misses his shot, it's all on you
And with your last four bucks
you know what you do
Sorry man, can I buy you a drink?
He shakes his head and says,
Make it a double.
