about

A down-and-out drunk sits in a dingy bar. He starts to sing.

lyrics

Another long day
another long night
sold my soul to the man
still paying the price

Crammed into these tin cans
squeezed like sardines
I hear the other inmates
whisper to me

I feel so old
I feel so cold

Drown the pain and start again
just fill the glass I'll be ok

Seems like everybody
wants a piece of fame
they don't know that's the way The Man
co-opts their game

he'll make you go sale searching, cam-whoring
attention seeking insane
while he floods your neighborhood
with crime and cocaine

Now a rich man can buy a nice house and sip fine wine
but a poor man's only mansion is his mind
but even that's on loan and when it's foreclosed
you'll find the bottom of a bottle to be your only home

I feel so old
I feel so cold

Drown the pain and start again
just fill the glass I'll be ok

I need a drink
