And some people say
That I'm just a slave
To all my alcoholic accolades
Wastin' away my days
Drinkin' my rum and my cheap champagne
Livin' off forgotten regrets
In the land of light beer and cigarettes
They say that if I don't change my ways
That I'm gonna die from these alcoholic accolades
They say, "you can't be saved"
I say, "Liquor me up
"Pass me another cup
"And I'll be on my way"
My friends, if they're all drunk too
Then I'm not alone
Up on my throne
At the party feeling blue
And some people say
That I'm just a slave
To all my alcoholic accolades
Wastin' away my days
Drinkin' my rum and my cheap champagne
Livin' off forgotten regrets
In the land of light beer and cigarettes
They say that if I don't change my ways
That I'm gonna die from these alcoholic accolades
Sometimes there's a girl I think I love
So I call her on the phone
Say "run on home"
She tells me that I've had enough
Now everybody's gone
And the bottles have run dry
And here I lie
On the floor of this empty room
She never wants to talk when I want her to
She never wants to f*ck until we go up in front of the altar and say "I do"
She screams back the sky is green when I tell her that it's blue
Oh well, I guess I'll just drink for a few
And some people say
That I'm just a slave
To all my alcoholic accolades
Wastin' away my days
Drinkin' my rum and my cheap champagne
Livin' off forgotten regrets
In the land of light beer and cigarettes
They say that if I don't change my ways
That I'm gonna die from these alcoholic accolades
