Tytuł: However Much I Booze

I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown
  It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie; I just bring them down
  I claim proneness to exaggeration
  But the truth lies in my frustration
  The children of the night, they all pass me by
  Have to drench myself in brandy
  In sleep I'll hide
  But however much I booze
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
  I don't care what you say, boy
  There ain't no way out
  
  I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibilities
  Are the problems that screw me up really down to him or me
  My ego will just confuse me
  Some day it's going to up and use me
  Dish me out another tailor-made compliment
  Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent
  And however much I squirm
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
  I don't care what you say, boy
  There ain't no way out
  
  Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!
  
  Then the night comes down like a cell door closing
  Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene
  While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating
  Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me
  And on at me, and I don't care what you say
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
  
  Now the walls are all clawed and scratched
  Like by some soul insane
  In the morning I humbly detach myself
  I take no blame
  I just can't face my failure
  I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor
  You at home can easily decide what's right
  By glancing very briefly at the songs I write
  But it don't help me that you know
  This ain't no way out
  Won't somebody tell me?
  I don't care what you say, boy
  There ain't no way out
  
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
  
  Give me the key, lock it away
  
  There ain't
  There ain't
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
  There ain't no way out
