You say I shouldn’t be drinking all night long You say I shouldn’t be smoking all night long But the way the things are going, I guess you should be knowing That’s the only way I found to carry on The governor says that we should stay at home And the preacher now will have to pray alone Till the rich is buying fancy cars, The poor is jus trying to stay alive It seems I have to learn again how to live my life You say I shouldn’t be drinking all night long You say I shouldn’t be smoking all night long But the way the things are going, I guess you should be knowing That’s the only way I found to carry on Everyday I watch they talking on TV That I can risk my life just walking on the streets As if I can sit and watch my life passing on a TV show My life is now becoming another freak show You say I shouldn’t be drinking all night long You say I shouldn’t be smoking all night long But the way the things are going, I guess you should be knowing That’s the only way I found to carry on
