I can make anybody p retty
I can m ake you believe any li e
I can m ake you pick a fi ght with som ebody twi ce your size
Well I 've been known to cause a few br eakups
And I 've been known to cause a few bi rths
I can m ake you new fr iends or get you fir ed from work
And since the d ay I left Milwa ukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, F rance
Been m aking the ba rs lots of big mone y and h elping white people dance
I g ot you in trouble in hi gh school
But c ollege now that was a ba ll
You had s ome of the be st times you'll nev er remembe r with me
Alcoh o-o-o-o- l, Alcoho- o-o-o-o-l
I got blamed at your wedding reception
For your best man's embarrassing speech
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach
I've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemingway write like he did
And I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you put that lampshade on your head
Cause since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France
Been making a fool out of folks just like you and helping white people dance
I am medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me
Alcohol
And since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France
Been making the bars lots of big money and helping white people dance
I got you in trouble in high school
But college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me
Alcoho-o-o-o-l, Alcoho-o-o-o-o-l
