Black President - Short List of Outspoken Suspects lyrics

Eighty proof, a hundred proof Undiluted by the truth How much proof do you need to believe? That your crutch has left you crippled As you nurse the poison nipple Have a double seeing triples pour it neat Do you take a drink or does the drink take you? It used to be funny, it used to be cool I love the ugly side of the city I love the way it stinks I love the worst of everything And I love to watch you drink Black or white, rich or poor Look the same on the floor But it's you that I step over most It's the burn that makes me shiver See you waving from the river While you're drowning in sorrows that float When you take a drink where does it take you? I love the ugly side of the city I love the way it stinks I love the worst of everything And I love to watch you drink Last call, last call You hear them screaming down the hall Last fall, fast crawl From underneath the stall I'd take you keys away but you've gotten broken legs So ride a vulture, I won't get in your way I love the ugly side of the city I love the way it stinks I love the worst of everything And I love to watch you drink
