drank  away the rest of the day
wonder  what my liver'd say
drink,  it's all you can
blackened  days with their bigger gales
 blow in  your parlor to discuss the day
listen,  it's all you can
 but don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you need,  you build to keep afloat.
 no don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you built...
sick  and tired of what to say
jumped  away from the ball and chain
breath,  it's all you can
rambling  years of lousy luck
miss  the smell of burning turf
dream,  it's all you can
 but don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you built,  you built to keep afloat.
 no don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you built...

singled  out for who you are
takes  all types to be a man
feel,  it's all you can
filthy  suits with bigot ears
hide  behind their own worst fears
live,  it's all you can
 it's  all you can
it's  all you can...do.

no  matter where i put my head
i  wake up feeling sound again
breath,  it's all you can
tomorrow  smells of less decay
beats  the bows that bloom the fray
be  thankful, it's all you can
 but don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you built,  you built to keep afloat.
 but don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you built,  you built to keep afloat.
 but don't,  don't sink the boat
 that you built,  you built to keep afloat.
 no don't,  no don't sink the boat
 that you built
 we all built to keep afloat
