*** The Bottle's Lookin' Better ***
Goin' down with the rest of the rats
on this stinkin' ship gonna drown
in this dirty sea that smells like shit
another night coated with blood, sweat and spit
wake up again with a face full of floor
in another town that I've left before
at another time with all the memories
that I could hoard you can try to hold us down
but we won't submit a mouthful of slogans
might as well be shit
it all tastes the same to a bunch of hypocrites
we roam the land, livin' in a van
hosing down wherever we can
and I trace it all back to six days in Amsterdam
I'm tired but I'm persistant
I took the path that was most resistant
I've covered so much distance, I never asked for any assistance
rock bottom ain't that bad,
the bottle's lookin' better every night to this lad
I can't measure my wealth by the things I have
but I'll sleep tight tonight
I'll sleep tight (sleep tight tonight)
sleep tight (sleep tight tonight)
sweatin' blood to make it work
I woke up alone again in a park somewhere in Köln
I can still taste the blood I've left
on every microphone from cutler ridge to the Berlin wall
throwin' up blood and alcohol lost an engine
but I found myself in a whack shack in Arkansas
the suits came knockin',
said they represent some fat cat asshole
seeking settlement for defacing an American dream
his advertisement another time, murder on my mind
a cold shiver runs down my spine
I can trace it all back to these feelings I confine
I'm tired but I'm persistant
I took the path that was most resistant
I've covered so much distance, I never asked for any assistance
rock bottom ain't that bad,
the bottle's lookin' better every night to this lad
I can't measure my wealth by the things I have
but I'll sleep tight tonight
I'll sleep tight (sleep tight tonight)
sleep tight (sleep tight tonight)
I'm tired but I'm persistant I took the path that was most resistant
I've covered so much distance,
I never asked for any assistance
rock bottom ain't that bad,
the bottle's lookin' better every night to this lad
I can't measure my wealth by the things I have
but I'll sleep tight tonight
I'll sleep tight (sleep tight tonight)
sleep tight (sleep tight tonight)
