(John Kay)
|
One glass in the mornin', two shots at night
|
Three fourths anytime that you wanna get tight
|
Drink wine to remember, swill gin to forget
|
And blame the world for the peace that you haven't found yet
|
|
He stood at the bar with a bottle in his hand
|
And he complained so bitterly 'bout a world he could not understand
|
He said "All my life, I've hustled and paid to survive
|
Say, can't you see, what's wrong with the world ain't me"
|
|
Ain't nothing' like it used to be
|
Ain't nothing' like it once was
|
Ain't nothin' like it ought to be
|
Ain't nothin' right no more
|
|
One pill in the mornin', two joints at night
|
Three spoons any time that you want to feel right
|
Toot coke to remember, shoot smack to forget
|
And blame the world for the life you haven't lived yet
|
Get up in the mornin', give love at night
|
And take time for yourself when you're losing the fight
|
Take care to remember, it takes time to forget
|
Thank God for the time that you haven't had yet
|
