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.
