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.
