[Chorus:]

Sick friend, well I'm a lazy cain
there's not much hope for this dying cause
you'd just be wasting your time
'cause I just spent my last dime
on a bottle that's gonna get me through the night

Well, I've been working at the burger king,
I've been flipping damn burgers all fucking week
gonna quit my job when the paycheck finally comes
I know I'll be doing alright,
when the liquor store sign is in my sight
gonna get me a bottle to help me through the night

[Chorus]

I've been working for the bitch down the street,
I've been painting damn houses all fucking week
gonna quit my job when the pay check finally comes,
I know I'll be doing alright
when the dollar bill are in my sight
gonna get me a bottle to help me through the night

and when I'm all alone
and I was having fun
and there was no one there to tell me
that I was doing wrong

the devil came to me
he said "I see what you see"
he said "I can tell you,
that it won't get any better!"

he said "I'll make you feel,
the way you want to feel"
he said that "I can make it better!"

BUT I SAID

[Chorus]

I've been working hard
didn't get much sleep
I've been digging damn ditches all fucking week
gonna quit my job when the paycheck finally comes
I know I'll be doing all right
when the liquor store sign is in my sight
gonna get me a bottle to help me through the night

Sick friend, well I'm a lazy cain
there's not much hope for this dying cause
you'd just be wasting your time
'cause I just spent my last dime
on a bottle that's gonna help me through,
a bottle that's gonna help me through,
a bottle that's gonna get me through this night
