Everybody's wanting to know where I've been
And everybody's wondering why I'm not on the scene
As much these days but it pays to keep a low profile
Faux docile, not the double O style
Tell you the truth, I got bored of it all
Being ignored by you all, it was a chore at the ball
When the stories all have the same beginning
And you think, how's this winning
So much other craic that you don't notice
Till you take a step back, do you know this
Not everybody is a slave to the rhythm
Of the living high two days, five in a prison
Other people looking at photos of the past
Thinking to themselves that day was class
But I'm coming at it from a different perspective
Trying to forget is my main objective
Going to a christening you're having a drink
Going to a wedding and you're having a drink
Going to a funeral, you're having a drink
Any event and you're having a drink
Going to a christening you're having a drink
Going to a wedding and you're having a drink
Going to a funeral, you're having a drink
Literally anything, having a drink
Going to the front bar
Heading out for a good time
Going for a quick jar
Getting tore into the tonic wine
Going for a quiet drink
Going for a shot clink
Going for a what? drink
Going for a stop! think
Regrets, people say not to have them
But my ego is Chubbs, Id Shooter McGavin
Eat scumbags like me for breakfast
See a situation, think how can I wreck this?
Pish opportunities clean up the wall
Wish I could be comfortable, community halls
At some sort of function, lunacy calls
The auld impunity doesn't last when you're all grown up
They'll be phoning up the peelers
Next thing you know you're blowing up with the dealers
In the court pages of the local paper
When before you said you wouldn't catch me at that caper
Listen to a man at the end of his tether
How his life turned out mundane like the weather
But it's not just me, standing here on trial
32 counties deep in denial
Pissing my life against the wall
Pissing it clean up the wall
Piss my life against the wall
Piss my life against the wall
Pissing my life clean away, piss it away
Piss it away
Every day
Piss your life against the wall
Pissing my life against the wall
Pissing it clean up the wall
Loud of auld balls
Piss my life against the wall
Pissing my life clean away, I piss it away
Piss it away
Every day
Piss our lives against the wall
