Colin Hay - I Wish I Was Still Drinking lyrics

I wish I was still drinking whiskey, wine and beer The sound of gla**es clinking, so sweet to my ear I wouldn't have to listen to the time that's running out I'd use it much more wisely, I'd drink and fall about I wish I was still drinking, then I'd have no fear Tell you how to fix the world, then have another beer I wouldn't have to feel the pain that's in a mother's eyes I'd drink till I believe the sound of my own drunken lies I wish I was still drinking when nothing is too clear Like the TV evangelist fueling people's fear Taking all their hard earned cash in the name of the holy one Their days are surely numbered, their day will surely come I wish I was still drinking, I was a lot more fun Life of the endless party, friends with anyone I wouldn't have to answer for the promises I broke Like the president today, or when he drank and snorted coke I wish I was still drinking, than I wouldn't have to hear The sound of rapid gunfire exploding in my ear I'd drink through the nightmare of friends cryin' out for help I would drink through everything I've seen or heard or felt I wish I was still drinking, no I really, really do I'd gather all my fair weather friends like him and her and you I'd count all the missing teeth, I can no longer chew I'd even drive my ol' white car, cause she likes drinking too Yeah, I wish i was still drinking whiskey, wine and beer The sound of gla**es clinking, so sweet to my ear I wouldn't have to listen to the time thats running out I'd use it much more wisely, I'd drink and fall about
