Is it human nature to divulge in chemistry 
and do falling apples fall far from trees 
I've seen people justify about everything 
from bombing buildings to finding veins 
do you prosper most in cities or towns 
can you turn a trick to avoid a frown 
well while I'm young my [bad word] seem 
to justify an aspirational dream 

Just one more beer, one more cigarette 
and nine more dollars and eighty one cents 
short term goals seem to fall short 
consequentially paid with passing time 

One day I'll never, some day I will 
contradict myself with placebo pills 
mathematically proven, psychologically backed 
but there's no excuse [bad word] sense cracks 
I'll point a finger and close my eyes 
drink down the shame, exhale the lies 
be strong my child, maintain your gaze 
there's no [bad word] cheese at the end of this maze 

Just one more beer, one more cigarette 
and nine more dollars and eighty one cents 
short term goals seem to fall short 
consequentially paid with passing time 

Is it my head that's splitting from dehydration 
or lack of self will in a material nation 
will I [bad word] to the things I say 
or get buried with em' in the [bad word] grave 
We want this, we want that but there's never a cap 
I know we're not alone we all suffer the same 
but maybe one day it will all transpire 
let's throw some gas on the proverbial fire 
we'll watch it burn and when [bad word] 
we won't just lay around 

Just one more beer, one more cigarette 
and nine more dollars and eighty one cents 
short term goals seem to fall short 
consequentially paid with passing time
