lyrics

Got decked for the
first time, nineteen ninety-three.
Got too drunk to sort
it out between my friends
and me. Ringing in the
New Year cashed out
in the street; always knew it'd come
down to them being
the ones to beat,

so put the poison in my body.
Put the poison in me.

Hüskers on the tape deck, out to
get some more (Tuesday's fifth
of Jameson is already remorse).
The pleasures of the blackout are
their own reward, brought about by
virtue of always being bored,

so put the poison in my body.
Put the poison in me.

When you're drinking highballs,
any dram'll do, but when
you're drinking Sazeracs,
accept no substitutes. And
don't let any asshole tell you
what to do, cause when you're
getting plastered, son, "to
thine own self, be true,"

and put the poison in my body.
Put the poison in me.
