Chorus: (Same as verses) --------------------------------------------- You can be winner you can be a loser Gotta wake up when you here the rooster Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong Gotta do right for you when the time come Verse 2: --------------------------------------------- The clock keeps drinkin’, they keep tickin’ There’s two more people who get to play positions Samantha and Chuck not a couple just roommates Out having too many shots on a Tuesday Who knew they’d be tools for the duo Put a little bit of fire on the fuel It’s a kinda blue intentions ain’t cruel But everybody’s so ready to bend up the rules Now there’s chuck staring at Deloris, Eddie is distracted by Samantha so he doesn’t notice And everybody’s too fucked up To even assess the mess, much less care enough More whiskey, a pitcher of premium, Eddie’s gettin’ tipsy he didn’t see it commin’ On his way back from a visit with that urinal, Tryin’ to straitin’ out his thoughts and the vertigo Weaves through stops when he seen ‘em Picture perfect, it looked just like freedom Deloris on chucks lap kissin’ em hard, Eddie dipped into the winter, left them all at the bar Sometimes you gotta follow what’s felt inside, Between the power struggles and selfish pride No one is allowed to cry unfair ‘Cause now they both get to drink alone somewhere Chorus x2 Chorus 2:
