they give alcohol a bad name, dammit!
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 youll never remember with me:
Alcohol; Alcohol.
I got blamed at your wedding reception,
For your best mans embarrassing speech.
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach.
Ive influenced Kings and world leaders,
I helped Hemingway write like he did.
And Ill 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 youll 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 youll never remember with me:
Alcohol; Alcohol.
(Alcohol.)
(Alcohol.)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
