Stocking up on wherewithal
Trying not to forget
Double down on it
Double down
Drones flyin' above
Abandoned streets
The falconer's lost his grip
Slouching on
Double down
And no matter how I try
I can't look you in the eye
Somethin' got stranded
Yeah no matter how I try
Swervin' on a crooked line
Can't get my head round it
Drinkin' in America
Getting' wasted in America
Drunk as a skunk
Drinkin' in America
Down for the count
This time
Don't bother to
Wake me up
Hypocrisy's a killer virus
There'll be no one left
To mourn us
But who's countin'?
Coffin makers
Take their coffee break
Resting their hands for a work
That begs for silence
And the shells are fallin' close
Way too f*cking close
Too close for comfort
Never seen such weather
The fog stretches forever
But I'm still gonna find you
Drinkin' in America
Getting' wasted in America
Drunk as a skunk
Drinkin' in America
Down for the count
This time
Don't bother to wake me up
Got a coal miner's cough
And a head of heat
It's rippin' to shreds
What was never,
Ever complete
It was a long time comin'
A long drive home
A measure of our weakness
The purest liquor
That I've ever known
And now I'm itchin' for a fight
And I have been the whole night
The Eagle has landed
Somethin' tellin'
Somethin' strange
Runnin' through these fields of grain
And I'm startin' not to feel so well
Drinkin' in America
Getting' wasted in America
Drunk as a skunk
Drinkin' in America
Down for the count
This time
Don't bother to wake me up
And no matter how I try
I can't look you in the eye
Somethin' got stranded
Yeah no matter how I try
Swervin' on a crooked line
Can't get my head round it
Drinkin' in America
Drinkin' in America
Drinkin' in America
