Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You've Got Problems

And I've been so busy trying

that I've only wound up living

weekend to weekend

getting by just simply "trying"

And I should be out looking for a job

but only wind up heading for a stiff drink

left with nothing else so I think

"it's time to stumble home"

So I say Hello to wasted hours

and I say bottoms up to better days

I've been so busy dying

that I've always wound up living

paycheck to paycheck

scraping by but hardly trying

what will it take to get me out of bed

when half the check goes to rent

the other half goes to debt

I should be out looking for another job

Instead I stumble home

Another day not trying

there's no one left to blame

it's just the routine and the repetition

I've spun out of control
