DRUNKEN GENERATION

These are the lyrics to the title track of my
 soon-to-be-released CD with duo Black*Scarr.

I drink a lot – it’s true to say
 It helps to get me through the day
 It’s in my blood, my history
 It’s etched in my identity
  
 It’s all I know, it’s who I am
 Another pint, another dram
 Every woman every man 
 Down the pub drunk and damned
  
 It’s our inheritance, it’s what we do 
 It’s our religion, tried and true
 Off our heads and it’s our RIGHT
 To drool and shout and puke and fight
  
 Our children look on with dismay
 At how much we can put away
 We’re so funny we’re so great
 Our livers groaning with the weight
  
 Welcome to The Drunken Generation
 Where nothing’s ever done in moderation
 Knocking back our favourite medication
 Oh, welcome to the Drunken Generation
  
 It’s our excuse and our reward
 Our relief when we get bored 
 Our saviour and our jailor 
 A cushion for our failures
  
 One more bottle one more glass
 Then fall down on my sorry arse
 Come join me in the gutter
 With all the other nutters
   
 We’re so notorious we’re bloody glorious
 Let’s raise a glass and toast our legacy
  
 It’s our culture it defines us
 Takes the edge off, shows us kindness
 We drink to congratulate 
 Commiserate and celebrate
  
 Stumbling ‘round in all directions
 Dodging any real connections
 On the tab and down the neck 
 Life is short, so What the Heck?!!
 Welcome to the Drunken Generation
