You say I shouldn’t be drinking all night long
You say I shouldn’t be smoking all night long
But the way the things are going, I guess you should be knowing
That’s the only way I found to carry on

The governor says that we should stay at home
And the preacher now will have to pray alone
Till the rich is buying fancy cars, The poor is jus trying to stay alive
It seems I have to learn again how to live my life

You say I shouldn’t be drinking all night long
You say I shouldn’t be smoking all night long
But the way the things are going, I guess you should be knowing
That’s the only way I found to carry on

Everyday I watch they talking on TV
That I can risk my life just walking on the streets
As if I can sit and watch my life passing on a TV show
My life is now becoming another freak show

You say I shouldn’t be drinking all night long
You say I shouldn’t be smoking all night long
But the way the things are going, I guess you should be knowing
That’s the only way I found to carry on
