Think I'll Just Drink Instead

It happens so often
It's on like repeat
More than once in awhile
It's gotta be true
I saw it all on tv
It's just commercial
In a truth disguise

They offered one option
On the way things can be
Like they're the only one who's right
And that's pulling us into
A pit of deceit
It's a wonder how they never
Run out of lies

I might run away
And I might flee
When there's darkness ahead
I've been meaning to fix
What's been bothering me
But I think I'll just drink instead

Now I just wanted to mean
What you meant to me
But I'm just one of the crowd
And that burden's still cutting me
Down at the knees
I try and I try
But I can't get up

I might run away
And I might flee
When there's trouble ahead
I've been fixing to fix
All that's been wrong with me
But I think I'll get stoned instead

I won't grovel
And I won't plea
When there's nothing to save
Though I wrote it in stone
Like a lifetime ago
I think that it's time to change
I carved it in stone
Like a lifetime ago
But I think that it's time to change
