This Beer

lyrics

It's been quite a month this week
I thought it would never end
Quick recap: Work sucks
The world is burning, I'm out of friends

I get home, turn on the news
It sucks. I turn it off
Feed the cat, take my shoes off
After that, I'm out of ideas

Then, I remember I've got leftovers
From last week...garbage disposal
No one to call, no one's coming over
Got no gig; just me and my cat

Whoops! I meant to include my wife
All in all, I have a pretty good life
Open up the fridge and it all becomes clear
It's me and my cat and my wife and

This beer This beer
Right here in front of me
This beer This beer

Chillin' in the fridge, gonna take you out
Pilsner, Ale, IPA or Stout
After today, anything will do
Just give me a glass of loudmouth soup

Pour some stress relief on the double
Give me a beer and load me up with trouble
Cold lubrication for the mind
Vacation 12 ounces at a time


When you feel like persona non grata
And everyone thinks they're above you
Too busy to love you
You know you have more than one thing going for you
You don't need a thing outside of your mind

When everyone sucks and the world's insane
I go where everybody knows my name
With a wife and a cat and a yard full of squirrels
All that I need in this world is

This beer This beer
Right here in front of me
This beer This beer

I know I’ve turned my back on you before
But when I pass you in the store
I can’t resist you


This beer This beer
Right here in front of me
This beer This beer

This beer This beer
Right here in front of me
This beer This beer

I pledge allegiance to this beer right in front of me
I pledge allegiance to this beer right in front of me
I pledge allegiance to this beer right in front of me
I pledge allegiance to this beer right in front of me

This beer This beer
Right here in front of me
This beer This beer
