I'm 21 struggling to function Young and dumb drunk causing a commotion In my all American Americana band With a bunch of alcoholic blue collar problematic friends It's me and my sweethearts anniversary The first one since she permanently turned from me I woke up and I didn't even think I hit the kitchen for a tall liquor drink Knew well I was ticking time bomb The first sip of liquor switched the timer on I called off from my job flipping burgers Called off a lot I was a piss poor worker Spent the day with a bong and an anime Ignoring phone calls from my family Hit this post girl up I kind of loved Always thought of my girl left she would be the one Later on they were gonna drink some At this girl's house that my other buddy loved I showed up on my bike with a buzz I don't even think they noticed the fresh cut We were putting crystal light right into the gin Rocking Rocky Racoon and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Talked plans for my rock band to blow up Poet girl said I probably ought to grow up She was right, and even then being too nice I drank liquor from the bottle like I'm Shoe Nice She told me we could toke her northern lights Just me and her later on tonight Strange how it was my favorite strain Told myself later on I'd get brain But nothing ever goes like you want it too When you're letting demons slip out from under you Sends thunder rolling like an overture Skies get overcast, sane minds overturned At the same time there is a sane voice you overhear Same voice your Mamma used to get you over tears You respond the same way you have for many years I'm gonna be man Momma grown without any fears We stopped up at the Get Go for grub I was obviously publicly drunk Three cops in the store made me nervous as f*ck So much so I didn't pay for my stuff Made a commotion so my friends could run Didn't want to be the one to ruin everybody's fun The cops asked how I paid for my shit I said i didn't even know if I did They could smell all the booze on my breath I was under arrest, drunk in public and a petty theft Swept my feet and slammed me onto the car They put the cuffs on my wrists too hard Any sense that I had left had vanished When I saw it was the cop who had killed Johnny Gamage Said f*ck you, you don't know what I've been through If either one of us is a criminal it's you Down inside I subliminally knew It'd be a long night with the boys in blue They said I was resisting and I really had to stop I spit right in the face of that cop Told him if I wasn't white I'd be dead I was fucked up, but there's truth in what I said I said a lot of shit I'd later regret It's a lot of slurs on my record of arrest They forced my drunk ass in the back seat I knew my hopes of getting head were beat I took a peek in the squad car next to me And there was poet girl, as mad as could fucking be They took me over to the Brentwood jail I talked shit the whole way into my cell I was blacking out here and there But I recall hands through bars, birds in the air I said verbatim, f*ck you pigs fight me Feeling like Bronson played by Tom Hardy They came into the cell and the pigs had a party Taking me down and they barely tried hardly Said f*ck it this kid's going to county Can't listen to this shit all night my heads pounding They got my ass back into the car Took me for a ride up Sawmill Run Blvd Took a tunnel right into the city I was in the back still yelling and spitting The killer cop said that I might need help He said he thought I might hurt myself Said I ought to calm down and I ought to act right Or I'd spend a couple weeks up in Western Psych I recalled my middle school friend's faces When he'd talk about how they took his shoe laces The cop said that there were worse places Than county if I kept with the ape shit So I tried to calm down for the night Tried to recall what my Momma's face looked like I fell asleep on the floor in the drunk tank To stories of how much everyone drank I had dreams of my sweetheart coming back But everyone of those dreams faded black But nothing ever goes like you want it too When you're letting demons slip out from under you Sends thunder rolling like an overture Skies get overcast, sane minds overturned At the same time there is a sane voice you overhear Same voice your Mamma used to get you over tears You respond the same way you have for many years I'm gonna be man Momma grown without any fears
