Reasons

Set them up to knock them down...Yeah!

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

don't need a reason to get drunk

on a monday

some time

prior

to noon

i need a reason to stay sober

can't be barking at the sun

in the daylight

it aint the moon

i need a reason not to get high

cause i've only just got  out bed

fuck that for a boring waste of time

i have to be

want to be

will eventually be

off my fucking head

it's a temporary self induced disability

but they won't

give me a parking space

i've pretended offended 

i'm spastically unmended

i'm just off my rocker

and my face

don't measure my love

for intoxicants

against my ability

to give and to share

sometimes i'm there

one hundred and ten per fucking cent

and then sometimes

i just don't fucking  care
