Alcoholic Lyrics

[Intro]
"Hi everybody, welcome to the wednesday meeting, yep yep
Um everybody give it up for Eli, first of all, who's been off
The meth for a whole month now, and his wife's getting out
Of jail next thursday, is that right? Anyway we've got a new speaker
Today so big round of applause for this young man here."

Is this thing on?
It's been about a week now, and
I'm startin' to get weak now
I wake up at 11:30 that's when I start getting thirsty and
I don't know what it is
All I know there's a bottle in the fridge
With my name on it
If I want it


[Hook]
Cause I'm an alcoholic and I know

[Verse 1]
Yeah Hi my name is Tom I'm an addict
Can't really remember just how long I been at it
I'm guessing that this happened like a pattern that I follow
Cause my father's a fiend, and
So was mum too. So its somethin' like part of my genes
But it's hard to get clean, but as hard as its been
But at the end of it I really can only answer to me
And it's the way it is I truly learned that
So don't give me all that "Channeling the universe" crap
Thats a load of shit I ain't tryna' to pass the blame
Like it's just a part of fate
And I ain't got a part to play
Cause if that's the case then I really can't escape
Might as well just start the day with a glass of chardonnay
Like my dad does thinking that time can never catch us
Following my nose kinda like my bro Haz does
But I'm scared I'll end up in a home like Daz was
That dude went mad once, but nah fuck that buzz
I'm looking for a little more
But shit is raw
Cause its just a little short walk to the liquor store
A little more to middlemore
My mind keeps saying "this is what I'm living for" but my liver isn't sure
It's 6 In the mornin' we're about to close the club
But we know the owner so we're there until they open up
And that's why I'm broke as fuck bank account Golden Duck
Blowing bucks on these drugs going nuts tryna' sober up
[Verse 2]
I woke up Friday morning
Lying on the floor in a one man cell
He said I punched that CUNTstable
How many lies can one man tell
And now I'm on probation
They got me at rehabilitation
Asking for some explanation
I said "I just like getting wasted"
So don't ask why I'm stoned
And look lady I don't know
Sign my forms so I can go
Cause I got court at 9 tomorrow
And if the judge is a bitch I could even jump off a bridge
Or go get on it

[Hook]
Cause I'm an alcoholic and I know

[Verse 3]
I fuckin' hate this place
Fuckin' hate this place more than fuckin' ace of bass
Fuck what this lady says I bet she's smoked more
Smack than I've ever drunk beer
And then she asks me if I been high this week; "fuck yeah!"
I've been high like a pilot
Why try to deny I won't lie I've been wired
Popping E like vitamin c
You wanna read my mind like a psychic
You really wanna know why I get high
"cause I like it"
Does it really take a fuckin' Einstein to figure that out?
How much more shit can you spit out your fat mouth
Who would have known you'd get addicted to crack
WOW
What a fuckin' breakthrough everybody clap now
Just give it up for jack for giving up the crack
It's been a whole week since he had a huff and snap
Rolled his dead ex-wife in some bubble wrap
Filled a duffel bag with all her husband's stuff and gapped, yeah
It's been a month and they got nothing back
Just a lecture from some alchie in a trucker cap
Tryna' to tell me how to me live my life
Bro cut the crap
Sobriety? what the fuck is that?
Can't even spell it bro
I fuckin' hate this place like the fuckin' Ellen show
Straight up
I fuckin' hate this place like fuckin' Babyface
And Eric Clapton
Nah fuck this shit I ain't even finished this shit
Ya know
I'm gonna go home and get stoned with some hippie bitch with fucking ankle bracelets
PAINT YA TOE NAILS BITCH!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
