The Drinking Sad Lyrics by Ren Stedman

The Half-Arsed Defeat

2019

[Verse 1]
Got the drinking sad again
I've got the black dog in my head
For just a couple hours' work
I'll afford to face my demons
With a bottle in my pocket
Or a smoke into my chest
[Verse 2]
Got the drinking sad again
It creeps on me just like an old friend
Whose face I used to trust
But now it just seems cold and distant
Like the distance that I made between
Myself and those who cared
[Chorus]
Well I don't care, no I don't care
Well I don't care, no I don't care
Or do I care too much and that's just how I got here?
Well maybe that's just how I got here
[Verse 3]
Had the drinking sad for weeks
It knocks me over from my knees
As they tremble on a staircase
I used to climb to see
My friends in their apartment
To communally conceive
The best way to destroy ourselves
With alcohol and weed
[Verse 4]
And I see them every now again
And they waste all of my oxygen
By talking shit the same we did
When we had too much time to spend
On polishing our egos thinking
Why should we be made to feel so scared
Of everybody's bad opinions?
[Chorus]
Well I don't care, no I don't care
Well I don't care, no I don't care
Or do I care too much and that's just how I got here?
Well maybe that's just how I got here
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be unique anymore
If the only thing that makes me stand out and makes me individual
Is the pattern of events that don't make me any different
From all the people that I frown upon
From doing all the shit I've always done
The shit I've always done
The shit I've always done
[Chorus]
Well I don't care, no I don't care
I don't care, no I don't care
Do I care too much, do I care too much, do I care too much?
Well maybe that's just how I got here
Well maybe that's just how I got here
Maybe that's just how I got here
