[Intro] (a cappella): Sober, life is a prison. Shitfaced, it is a blessing. Sober, nobody wants you. Shitfaced, they're all undressing. Oh, sober, it's ever darker. Shitfaced, the moon is nearer. Sober, you're old and ugly. Shitfaced, who needs a mirror? Oh, sober, you're a Cro-Magnon. Shitfaced, you're very clever. Sober you never should be. Shitfaced, now and forever.

I know you think I'm insane, I know it's not appealing,
