I've lived my life on the edge of a knife,

And I can't give it up.



In the fast lane of misery and pain,

And I can't give it up.



I've had a good time on the weeds and the wine,

And I can't give it up.



I've been up and down, below and above ground,

And I can't give it up,

And I can't give it up.



Better under the table than under the ground,

And I can't give it up.



I like what I take, but my life's a mistake,

And I can't give it up.



It all went wrong the day I was born,

And I can't give it up.



I've tried to invest, but my life was a mess,

And I can't give it up,

And I can't give it up.



It's hard to refuse, when there is nothing to lose,

And I can't give it up.



I need to drink more, cause my life's such a bore,

And I can't give it up.



I've had my fill and I made out my will,

And I can't give it up.



I drink all I can cause it makes me a man,

And I can't give it up,

And I can't give it up.
