50-Proof Tears

With bloody eyes, the morn'
moonlight up and out again
light a pathway to the grail
servin pints down at the end
hear the stompin on the ground
hear the stompin on the ground
bang our glasses to a cheers
this is where my life begins
natives all surround me
we're singin all the same
i'll raise my bloody drink
with 50-proof tears
it's rigid past o'neils
o'donoghues i saw the band
a pint or 2 at the guinness house
and stole their honored glass
the ladies made the irish way
they nicely turned me down
but never left, they stayed around
and i knew that this was home

I'm Feeling Just Fine

i'm trying to forget you
i'm trying to forget
all the times you said i'm yours
then you up and fuckin left
i spent a month not sayin much
you're assuming i am dead
well i'm alive, and i'm saying hi
then you kicked me out your life
so long, good bye
i'm feeling just fine
farewells are easy like watching
all the tears rolling down your eye
nothing's wrong with less of you
nothings wrong at all
a gallon of beer and fucked up hair
my day is going well and fair
i get your letter now and then
and you're wondering how i am
so i'll take that page and wipe my ass
cuz i know this is how it will end

Put Em' Up
01:28

Lowered lights, an eager night
the solo man begins
"start the little tune", he goes,
"hit the floor, now, with your toes"
he sung a line to the drunken guy
who'd risen up his head
started dancin on the floor
then dancin even more singin
drink a ton and have some fun
drink up every sip
put em up and slam them down
and never give a shit (hey!)
the longer time he drinks away
the more he comes alive
hugging arms, he kicks the sky
he kicks it one more time
he slaps along the table top
and dances once again
then everybody in the bar
joins the song in arms singing
"now as the drunken man comes to an end
and follows does the show
he'll come again and he'll come again.
till every fucker knows" (hey!)

i'm having some problems
disgruntled, I am an old man
who drinks guinness, talks shit about everything
i come off so blunt
but im speaking my thoughts
i hate all those damn bitches who constantly say, "oh my god"
But what do i know when you're all better than me?
Well, I'm just a drunk who talks shit about everything
A passionate hate to all of mankind
im tired of calling back memories that started from Caleb and Joshua
the Chelsies and Cameron
look at the thing you made
you brought out the worst in me
But what do i know when you're all better than me?
Well, I'm just a drunk who talks shit about everything
But what do i know when you're all better than me?
Well, I'm just a drunk who talks shit about everything
Yeah, I'm just a guy who sees bad, in all of the world

With Anchors
02:32
|

Feeling helplessness is everlasting pain
pierce needles in my eye, i hope to feel something
where is my conscience?
where is my angel?
like children, it left me
im fevered by a loneliness thats nothing like before
nothing so silent
oh watery cemetery
drowning the weight
with anchors
sing to me, lullabies
or send me away with anchors
choices, oblivious. nothing is real
a captive to honor and barter the deal
a tender-full life is a terrible lie
if you go as the sea turns into tides
that listens to dirt thats made up of gold
(anchors away!)
the drowning of hymns

you just fucking lied
take that knife and stick it in your eye
your arm, you gave me no notice or alarm
you suck, you fucking suck
drinking makes me sane
the states puts all these chicks into their place
they do
the borders of this country are all better too
i like their food. i do
la la la la la la la la
tea tea tea
barreled tea tea tea
dont you understand
newcastle should never be in anyones hands
it blows, budweiser is the way it just goes
who knows, who fucking knows
the music i cant stand
the techno shit should all belong in japan
but hey, americas shit is all that gets you laid
im sure, im fucking sure
