You could say I’m plastered
‘cause I hit the wall
I lost count after 21
In the college crawl
I been a boozin’ bastard
They’re callin’ me Edward Forty-hands, I can’t touch anyone
With an enemy like me, who would need a friend?
Nevermind I’m drunk

Well we’ve had enough power since the blackout started
For an EKG for the brokenhearted
I’d try to see the glass as half full
But I’d probably just drink that too
Glass half full, I’d probably just drink that too
I’d probably just drink that too

I’m the reason they call it an “Irish Goodbye”
And I hope I don’t choke on my vomit tonight
Well I bet that a bottle of brandy so bitter’d be better than bitin’ the bullet
And betterin’ myself, sorry if I slur
Take my anxiety and my sobriety
I’ll kill two birds with one stoner
So if you see me please, take my keys
I don’t wanna be an organ donor

Well we’ve had enough power since the blackout started
For an EKG for the brokenhearted
I’d try to see the glass as half full
But I’d probably just drink that too
Glass half full, I’d probably just drink that too
I’d probably just drink that too
