lyrics

I'm drinking bourbon and White Claw. I'm old and I'm young.
Feeling Bout as fresh as the last song I sung.
You people came to party. I came to get hung.
With the taste of Ambrosia still on my tongue.
The past likes to smoke, but the future drinks. So am I clever as I thinks. Oh, no.

The preacher stole the bible. The ref threw the game.
The prosecutor went and took all of the blame.
The alcohol is watered. The lions are tame.
The doctors roam the hospital itching to maim.
Shoot him once for staring. Twice if he blinks. So am I clever as I thinks. Oh, no.

The Scylla and Charybdis are shaking hands.
Feeling bout as needed as fresh demands.
You know the more you choke it the more it expands.
While Lucifer is heading the the Holy Lands.
Forget the lock picks, boys. We're cutting the links. So am I clever as I thinks. Oh, no.
