Lyrics :
Verse 1 - 16 bars
Innocent adolescents test water of what anger is
Alcohols dangerous? That's just absurd assertion
Assure em to stay sober, yet the only thing that's heard is
"This is one big joke, can't you see?"
They're self contained, but in censored bubbles
Entered the room, already seeing double
Forget being subtle and get ready for trouble
"I'll have one big rum and coke, please"
Bacardi branded, red handed, stranded
Standing shrouded in a cloud of stupid looming
What else would get em through it if it makes em superhuman?
"I mean sure it's fun but I'm broke, geez"
Being broken is only innuendo in the end though
To get out of the "friend zone", pretending ensues
Impending doom if things don't slow down soon
"If you want some-one to choke, just squeeze"
Hook - 8 bars
Already, we'll all float on all night
Unaware if everything's alright
Not a care in the world
Even if things get heavy
We'll all float on alright
Verse 2 - 16 bars
Thursday nights each week, celebrate pint life
The way time winds twists and turns like a fine wine
And why lie, they could just turn a blind eye?
"I don't have to care about the things I can't see"
New shoes do the walking, and the booze does the talking
Finally clocked in, but peer pressure's knocking
And it won't ever stop, too wooed by who's mocking
"Someone's gotta lose and it ain't gonna be me"
Blacked out from everything packed into two hours
In fact they racked up 16 whiskey sours
To be exact, they act like they lack any brain power
"I do decree this next drink best be free!"
Introducing themselves, it's like they're oozing energy
But when it comes to sincerity, catch em refusing cleverly
Which name was this? They're fucking losing memory
"If I was my ID where would I be?"
Hook - 8 bars
Already, we'll all float on all night
Unaware if everything's alright
Not a care in the world
Even if things get heavy
We'll all float on alright
Verse 3 - 16 bars
I've had a few and now I'm mad at you
Will this really save you from being sad at school?
I guess it's worth a shot
What you did hurt a lot, and it's a tad bit cruel
It's more than a tad bit, worse than a bad skit
Dark nights and what have you, gone totally bat shit?
Drunk sex is a habit, I've had it up to here
Wanna add it up for me while you grab another beer
You're a fiend on the brink, and it's easy to think
At least wait to be alcoholic 'til you can legally drink
Show up to a drunken function, and can't even function drunk
You do have a drug problem, that's the myth to debunk
Your world view is girl skewed, in a sense I think we're all screwed
And I don't care if you meant to, she couldn't legally consent dude
When was the last time you fucked with both parties sober?
Bang bang, fat lady sang, party's over
