I’ve been busking all night long drinking beer and singing songs now I’m stuck in my seat I think I will sleep for a week dirty hangover I feel like a roadkill but you my friend can make me feel better (chorus) I need help I’m thirsty as hell Jameson my friend Help me get away from myself We all came drunk to your birthday party so smashed that I couldn’t walk I tried to stay sober but we drank whisky shots I was so drunk that I couldn’t fuck (chorus) We all went fishin’ with some redneck friends o’ mine I tried to escape and stay sober Then I came back and god, we had fun we caught no fish and we all got drunk (chorus)x3

The marketing people have turned your willpower to dust and you never never read what’s written on the box Cuz you’re too busy to notice You’re eating up their lies You worship the puppets and their cardboard smiles their cardboard smiles Programmed obsolescence the clock is ticking whenever they want to they’re gonna make you come back to the store and dance on the Song of the Market that makes you buy more useless things and dance and forget and dance again and smile and dance and smile You might feel disappointed once in a while you go to bed confused and you don’t know the reason why You go back to the store just to buy a little more trying to get rid of that emptiness inside Just like lambs lambs at the slaughter

Under the North American sun Drinking in public is forbidden They don’t let me drink my Moskovskaia Instead we drink (chorus) the Slochka we drink the Slochka we drink the Slochka under the sun Even when the sun is hot we keep the smile on our face since we found the trick to get drunk in public we call it (chorus) We fooled Mr. Police we found a trick to drink the vodka a slurpee from the convenience store mixed with a sip from Mother Russia (chorus)

She will eat you alive She’s a vulture She’s a whore she’s a sin She’s a (n)e(u)rotic adventure but she mastered the art of lying to you you see this girl’s a little bit of a telepath too She made you leave your dreams in the rearview mirror If you kiss her on the lips If you kiss her on the lips If you kiss her on the lips you’ll hear the thunder roar You look like someone took a shit in your cereal you complain you never smile you became so cynical you were shining at first before she broke your mind but she’s no longer the wine she’s no longer the wine she’s no longer the wine that’s gonna quench your thirst She’s done bad things to you now it’s your turn to set her on fire and to watch her burn her game’s over you need a new playmate who’s gonna fix your brain who’s gonna fix your brain who’s gonna fix your brain with dental floss and ductape
