Lyrics
Drinking For England
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't fall out of temptation
If drinking for the nation
Is getting you down
Cos it takes a lot of work
Filling up your belly
And eating dirt
It takes a lot of cash
And lot of lies
Just to get this trashed
But it's easier than paying
Your tax straight to the man
It's easier than paying
Your tax straight to the man
Don't fall out of temptation
If drinking for the nation
Is dragging you down
Your country needs you dont deny it
Drink all you can
Just dont get high
And if you dont feel it start to hurt
Just buy another
And say "Lets get worse"
CHORUS
Don't fall out of temptation,
If drinking for the nation
Is getting you down
Cos everything you have to spend
Goes to defend
The ones you love
No its not money down the drain
You're playing the game
It's hand in glove
CHORUS
Don't every think that drinking gets you down (x6)
