Alcohol

I can make anybody pretty.

I can make you believe any lie.

I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size.

Well,I ’ve been known to cause a few break-ups,

An'I ’ve been known to cause a few births.

Well,I can make you new friends,or get you fired from work.

And since the day I left Milwaukee,

Lynchburg an'Bordeaux,France,

Been making the bars lots of big money,

An'helpin'white people dance.

I got you in trouble in High School,

But College,now that was a ball.

You had some of the best times you ’ll never remember with me:

Alcohol;Alcohol.

I got blamed at your wedding reception,

For your best man ’s embarrassing speech.

And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach.

I ’ve influenced Kings and world leaders,

I helped Hemingway write like he did.

And I ’ll bet you a drink or two

that I can make you put that lampshade on your head.

'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee,

Lynchburg and Bordeaux,France,

I been making a fool out of folks just like you,

An'helping white people dance.

I am medicine and I am poison,

I can help you up or make you fall.

You had some of the best times you ’ll never remember with me:

Alcohol.

Yeah,since the day I left Milwaukee,

Lynchburg an'Bordeaux,France,

Been making the bars lots of big money,

（Helpin'white people dance.）

Yeah,I got you in trouble in High School,

But College,now that was a ball.

You had some of the best times you ’ll never remember with me:

Alcohol;Alcohol.
