lyrics

I'm still a sassy little something, but the sass is kinda slurred
You see, my brain can do the thinking but my mouth can't do the words
But I'm still playing this guitar as gently as I can
And if I wanted to, I'd turn you to a shipwreck of a man

If you're listening, take a drink
And if you're not, take two
I hear it's easier to listen with that stuff inside of you
Everything is awesome if you get into the spirits
You try to keep your distance, you're only gonna kill it

I'm still slipping down the slope
There was a time when I was dry
And oh-so-high-and-dry above the other drinky-drunky guys
But I haven't been the same since I became the sort to say:
'If you're not playing the real drinking game, you might as well not play!'

So if you're drunk then take a drink
And if you're not, take two
You must collect on all the promises this weekend made to you
Everything is awesome if you get into the spirits
You try to keep your distance, you're only gonna kill it stone dead

I'm still a walking, talking, bleeding, breathing, eating fucking encyclopedia just like I always was
So if you've got any questions, fire away and I will answer
Though I'm drunker than a skunk, I'll reel it off like I was sober

So if you're impressed then take a drink
And if you're not, fuck you
I'm just trying to make a name by showing off and acting cool by swearing everything is awesome if you get into the spirits
You try to keep your distance, you're only gonna kill it stone dead
