God, I Need a Drink! Lyrics

God, I need a drink

It's been a long, long day working for The Man

And I could scream

Make it a Pomona Queen

It's such a hard, hard life, I chase the bag

What happened to my dreams?

As I was saying to my shrink

There's so much, where do I begin?

She said: "you're ripe for strong medicine"

I said: "fine," washed it down with a drink

The house has been a mess, and same goes for my life

Since the handyman left me for my wife

Well, I have the dog, he goes yap, I bag his crap

Guess you could call it love, it's all I got, hear me God

God, I need a drink

It's been a down, down day, my wife is gone

I might have made a scene

Make it a Pomona Queen

I'm microwaving all my meals

And there's a pile of dishes in the sink

As I was saying to my priest

"When all is done will I be saved at least?"

He said "predestination is your best bet"

I said: "fine," and took what I could get

I used to get a wage and now I'm a contractor

And for some extra cash I drive and I deliver

Ain't got no boss, it's great, but no 401k, no healthcare

Self-medication is my mate, hear me God, life ain't fair

God, I need a drink

All boats rise, rise with the tide

And yet I can feel mine sink

Make it a Pomona Queen

It's such a sad, sad time

When it's sorrow America brings

God, I need a drink

As I was saying to my dog

If past is prolog, what's yet to come?

[It's such a mad, mad time

When it's to morons America clings]

Make it a Pomona Queen

He wagged his tail, said: "We're in luck

Here come a fire hydrant and a bone"

[I saw a pretty, pretty lady

She was fat and I could hear her sing]
