You wouldn't take a taxi

You said you couldn't stay

You drink and drink and drive

Almost every day

Your life speeds through your mind

Faster than you drive

Living on a shoestring

All your fucking life

Your friends say you need help

You tell them that you're fine

As you tip the bottle

And swallow some cheap wine

You're a living time bomb

Waiting to explode

You'll just be a statistic

When you're dead and cold!



Chorus 1

Every time you drink and drive

You always think that you'll survive

Till your car is crushed and bent

Impact is imminent

Sirens fill the streets aloud

It always draws the biggest crowd

They peel your body off cement

Impact is imminent!



The daily obituaries reveal

More and more fools climbed behind the wheel

Thinking they were sober enough to drive

They didn't know they'd never come back alive

A bad case of double vision

Led straight onto a head-on collision

Passed out and crossed the double line

How can anyone be so asinine?



Chorus 2

Blind drunk and hauling ass

He got airborne off an overpass

He never knew he left the ground

Like a warhead target bound

You can't correct your fatal mistake

When you're the guest of honor at your own wake

Thought he could fly till he hit cement

Impact is imminent!



Drunken time bombs set to detonate

When happy hour's over they're off to celebrate

Their vision's but a blur, they barely see the road

Been drinking for so long they're starting to erode

A fucking drunken lush climbs into his car

Kills you in an instant coming from the bar

An alcoholic bum hits you from behind

A child and his mother run down in their prime
