Plastic Cup Politics

Hello six pack of confidence

Been so many nights since we first met

Glad to see you’ve brought all your friends

For another night of plastic cup politics

Hello Mr. Six Pack of confidence

I’m glad to see you’ve already met

Ms. Twelve ounces of loneliness

And Mr. Plastic cup politics

I see you’re under the influence

Of warm beer and the comfort of all your friends

And I see that Mr. Loud Mouth has had his 40 ounce

And will pass out

I have no doubt

So drop your plastic cups and clear our clouded heads

I keep asking myself if they realize

That their fears are really just the same as mine

Do they know all their insecurities

Are the same ones that are inside of me

As people come and go

Do they know they’re really not alone?

And the life of the party just left

I guess I couldn’t cure his emptiness

Like all the rest

So drop your plastic cups and clear your clouded heads

Here we are, another wasted night

And I am right along the side

Of forty sets of bloodshot eyes

And plastic smiles miles wide

Match plastic cups we’ll leave behind

It’s just another night of plastic cup politics

So drop your empty cups and clear your clouded heads
