about

"I suggest if you want to see the sunrise,
You better quit DRINKIN!"
-Kenan Thompson

lyrics

I only go to church for to drink
I only drink to get drunk
The drunker I get
The more I can understand you

Some people they love to drink
Some people get drunk everyday
The drunker they get
The more they are on the tv

I saw the sunrise this morning
I only hope that I live to see the sunrise again

Some people I can't understand
Other folks, they'll never get me
Just to get along these days
It takes a great deal of sympathy
Sympathy! Yes it does!

Some they think the past is behind us
And you can read about it in a book
Others know the past it's alive and well
It's all around us

Can't you feel that pressure cooker cookin'
Man it's getting hotter everyday
The hotter it gets
Makes me want to go to church and drink

I saw the sunrise this morning
I only hope that I live to see the sunrise again
