Another Shot of Whiskey
The Gits Lyrics

You walk in with another headache
You enter the room with a troubled mind

I can tell by the lines in your face
Your facial expression shows that you're in pain

you seem to think if you just remove the problem
You believe that getting rid of difficulties will solve everything

the answers are what will come next
You expect that solutions will come naturally

Another shot of whiskey
You use alcohol to cope with your problems

and maybe I'll be ready
You hope that drinking will help you face reality

for what's still crowded in your head
You still have many thoughts and worries

Never thinking that all the good times
You fail to acknowledge that happy moments come with the struggles

are what walked in with the bad
Life is a mix of joy and pain

I don't know why we compromise ourselves
You don't understand why we settle for less than we deserve

I thought it was a common understanding
You assumed that others share your beliefs

with all I've tried to help with
You've done your best to assist others

Tell me, do I end up empty handed?
You're unsure if your efforts have been appreciated

Another couple of beers while I'm safe here at the bar
You find comfort in drinking at the bar

and maybe I'll get me some rest
You hope to find peace of mind with alcohol

Don't know why all the good times have to turn-up with the bad
You question why life can't always be happy and easy

It's like a sword of hate
Your anger is a weapon that you use against others

you brandish it so proud
You show off your aggression and hostility

I wonder if you're taught what you feel
I question if your emotions are sincere or learned

or is it the way you got it cold dead in your eye?
Your eyes reveal how deeply you feel your negative emotions

It would be good if you could just
It would be beneficial if you could

leave me well enough alone
Stop bothering me and causing problems

The crime of fate is what I have to follow through
I have to accept the consequences of my actions

if I'm going to get past you
In order to move on from this situation

Another shot of whiskey
You turn to alcohol once again

and that's about the only
It's the only thing that helps you forget

way I can listen anymore
You can only tolerate the situation while intoxicated

Go ahead and drown me of everything
Your solution is to drink to oblivion

At least I still got my place at the bar
In a place where you feel comfortable

Never seen that all the good times
You fail to recognize that happy moments come with the struggles

are what walked in with the bad
Positive and negative experiences are intertwined in life
