Irish Ways

Everybody's wanting to know where I've been And everybody's wondering why I'm not on the scene As much these days but it pays to keep a low profile Faux docile, not the double O style Tell you the truth, I got bored of it all Being ignored by you all, it was a chore at the ball When the stories all have the same beginning And you think, how's this winning So much other craic that you don't notice Till you take a step back, do you know this Not everybody is a slave to the rhythm Of the living high two days, five in a prison Other people looking at photos of the past Thinking to themselves that day was class But I'm coming at it from a different perspective Trying to forget is my main objective Going to a christening you're having a drink Going to a wedding and you're having a drink Going to a funeral, you're having a drink Any event and you're having a drink Going to a christening you're having a drink Going to a wedding and you're having a drink Going to a funeral, you're having a drink Literally anything, having a drink Going to the front bar Heading out for a good time Going for a quick jar Getting tore into the tonic wine Going for a quiet drink Going for a shot clink Going for a what? drink Going for a stop! think Regrets, people say not to have them But my ego is Chubbs, Id Shooter McGavin Eat scumbags like me for breakfast See a situation, think how can I wreck this? Pish opportunities clean up the wall Wish I could be comfortable, community halls At some sort of function, lunacy calls The auld impunity doesn't last when you're all grown up They'll be phoning up the peelers Next thing you know you're blowing up with the dealers In the court pages of the local paper When before you said you wouldn't catch me at that caper Listen to a man at the end of his tether How his life turned out mundane like the weather But it's not just me, standing here on trial 32 counties deep in denial Pissing my life against the wall Pissing it clean up the wall Piss my life against the wall Piss my life against the wall Pissing my life clean away, piss it away Piss it away Every day Piss your life against the wall Pissing my life against the wall Pissing it clean up the wall Loud of auld balls Piss my life against the wall Pissing my life clean away, I piss it away Piss it away Every day Piss our lives against the wall
