Lyrics

In the morning when he rises and hears the daily news There's stories of people getting killed and criminals on the loose And these are not the kind of things he wants to hear when he wakes So he goes down to the liquor store and gets a bottle of the great escape He's seeing life - Through the bottom of a bottle It's the only way - He can cope with a world he finds so troubled He's seeing life - Through the bottom of a bottle It's the only way - He can cope with a world he finds so troubled Will he get mugged today? Will he get shot? He's tired of living life inside this paranoia trap And these are not the kinds of things he wants happening to him And he don't want to be no victim of sobriety He's seeing life - Through the bottom of a bottle It's the only way - He can cope with a world he finds so troubled He's seeing life - Through the bottom of a bottle It's the only way
