Thirsty and Miserable Lyrics

Aah, thirsty and miserable
You drop to the floor

You drink till you can't even see anymore
Thirsty and miserable, always wanting more
Thirsty and miserable, always wanting more, ah

My brother wants a ride to the liquor store
You pity him for what he wants it for
Yeah, thirsty and miserable, always wanting more
Thirsty and miserable, always wanting more, ah

It's one-thirty and we're all getting nervous
The store closes at two, there's not enough to last us
Oh, shit!

Thirsty and miserable, always wanting more
Thirsty and miserable, always wanting more, go!

See if you can find the key to your mother's liquor cabinet!
