[Intro]
(a cappella):
Sober, life is a prison.
Shitfaced, it is a blessing.
Sober, nobody wants you.
Shitfaced, they're all undressing.
Oh, sober, it's ever darker.
Shitfaced, the moon is nearer.
Sober, you're old and ugly.
Shitfaced, who needs a mirror?
Oh, sober, you're a Cro-Magnon.
Shitfaced, you're very clever.
Sober you never should be.
Shitfaced, now and forever.
I gotta get Ctoo drunk to dream, cause dreaming Fonly makes me blue.
I gotta get Gtoo drunk to dream, because I Fonly dream of yCou.
I gotta get Ctoo pissed to miss you or I'll Fnever get to sleep.
I gotta driGnk wine not to pine for you, and FGod knows that ain't Ccheap.
I Fknow you think I'm iCnsane, I Amknow it's not Gappealing,
but Ftill I'm feeling nCo pain, Gguess what I'll be feeling.
I gotta get Ctoo drunk to dream, cause dreaming Fonly makes me blue.
I gotta get Gtoo drunk to dream, because I Fonly dream of yCou.
I gotta get Ctoo fried to cry or I'll be Fcrying all night long.
I gotta get Gtoo high to sigh.  Oh my god, Fwhere did I go Cwrong?
So Fwhy do I get Cplastered, and Amwhy am I so Glonely?
It's Fyou, you heartless Cbastard.  GYou're my one and only.
I gotta get Ctoo drunk to dream, cause dreaming Fonly makes me blue.
I gotta get Gtoo drunk to dream, because I Fonly dream of Cyou.
I gotta get Ctoo pissed to miss you or I'll Fnever get to sleep.
I gotta driGnk wine not to pine for you, and FGod knows that ain't Ccheap.
And FGod knows Gthat ain't Ccheap.
