In and Out of Rehab
I’ll drink it down, neat in one go
Drink it down, with nothing at all
Straight up, knock it back
Straight up, knock down the wall
I don’t need, any mixers
Diluted crap, don’t do it at all
Hundred percent, no fifty fifty
Line the lot up, against a wall
Wanna feel it, burn my stomach
Strip the lining, from the walls
Rocket fuel, killing brain cells
Moonshine with craters an all
Sick and tired, of being sober
Fed up looking at walls
Rocking back and forth, uneasy
Gonna eat the bottles an all
I need drink, more than ever
Sobriety is killing us all
If you like, join in my battle
We can throw up, against a wall
Don’t care, if I’m an addict
Sit around, and beg at a wall
Gave me valium, sent me home
Ha! I’ve got no willpower at all
