Lyrics

Well I’m drinking in self-defense. . .

Chorus
I'm drinking in self defense.
This is where I stand my ground.
There’s no sugar-coating necessary, just don’t judge me down
For drinking in self-defense.

With everybody choosing sides; “you’re with me or you aint,”
It’s hard to figure out just where to stand.
But nothing can get better by just passing on the blame.
So, I just try to do the best I can.

Chorus

I used to think that no punch thrown at me could keep me down,
And I don’t need pain killers for the truth.
But the getting up gets harder every time I look around
At the same ol’, same ol’; what is there to do.

Chorus

I don’t have a party line, but it’s OK with me;
Just as long as there’s no one gets hurt.
And I believe that a good turn deserves to have a chance.
But where do you turn that stops things getting worse

Chorus
