Drunken Wisdom Lyrics by Overkill

Under the Influence

1988

[Verse 1]
Stop cryin'
Ain't feelin' sorry for you
Why don't you fade away?
Got no time
No time for what I got to do
And get a message through
Kiss my ass
Your bitchin's a bore
Don't wanna hear it no more
So, stop cryin'
Ain't feelin' nothin' for you
Don't like it? There's the door

[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry if I'm not as nice
As you could be
Why don't you take
The time to see
That the world
Does not revolve
Around only you
And we got better things to do

[Verse 2]
You're starvin'
Just starvin' to talk
I think you know it all
I'm sick
I eat this shit every day
Why don't we give you a call?
Authoritative
And a reason to live
You answer questions for me
Opinionated
With a brain like a sieve
Why don't you let it be?

[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry if I'm not as nice
As you could be
Why don't you take
The time to see
That the world
Does not revolve
Around only you
And we got better things to do

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Come back here
Drink our beer
Bend my ear with no idea
Wrong or right
A true philosopher
Defining our performance

[Post-Chorus]
Why don't you get yourself a life?
Just get the fuck out

[Bridge]
We don't care
What they say
We'll be there tomorrow
Like we're here today
And all the criticism in the world
Won't change a note we play

[Chorus]
Come back here
Drink our beer
Bend my ear with no idea
Wrong or right
A true philosopher
Defining our performance

[Verse 3]
Mix it up
Throw it down
We came to play
Not to mess around
We don't care
What they say
We'll be there tomorrow
Like we're here today
Don't do it for the money
Do it for the thrill
True to life is what you get
And we're livin' for the kill

[Chorus]
Come back here
Drink our beer
Bend my ear with no idea
Wrong or right
A true philosopher
Defining our performance

[Refrain]
Drunken
Wisdom
Drunken
Drunken
Wisdom
Drunken

[Instrumental Outro]
