Alcohol
Dirty Bird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you fuck up it's only you
Alcohol is no excuse for when
You ask WHY?
You LIE!
Someone CRIES!
You DIE!
I want another beer... shot!
Alcohol is no excuse
When you fuck up it's only you
Alcohol is no excuse for
When you went too far!
What you did at the bar!
Just blame it on the beer... NOT!
Now why did you have to go
And give my favourite drink such a bad reputation?
Are you so pathetic that you can't own up to your true self
And just enjoy a nice cold...
BEER!
Just add beer... instant asshole!
You're a star... aye 'ta go!
Loser!
The lyrics of Dirty Bird's song "Alcohol" address the topic of accountability and personal responsibility in relation to drinking. The song emphasizes that alcohol is not an excuse for harmful behavior and negative consequences. The lyrics state that when someone chooses to drink, it is ultimately their own decision, and they are fully responsible for the aftermath of their actions.
The repeated line "Alcohol is no excuse" serves as a reminder that regardless of the inebriated state, one's actions are still their responsibility. The lyrics also address the common tendency to blame alcohol for one's behavior, rather than take responsibility for it themselves. The lines "Just blame it on the beer... NOT!" effectively condemn this behavior as immature and cowardly.
Additionally, the lyrics criticize the way some people can become aggressive or intolerable under the influence of alcohol. The line "Just add beer... instant asshole!" highlights this phenomenon, suggesting that some people become unpleasant and difficult to be around when they drink.
Overall, the lyrics of "Alcohol" by Dirty Bird express a message of personal accountability and challenge listeners to take responsibility for their actions and behavior, even when under the influence of alcohol.
