Well, I ain't trying to be no jerk
It's just that I just got off from work
And I know you'd like to bend my ear
I wanna listen and that's sincere
Can't a fellow have just one beer?

Before the boss, the bank, the box full of bills
Empty gas tank and it's all uphill
The wife, the kids and why do we all exist?
Add politics, religion and war to the list
Tell me, is there anything that I missed?
And I'll get to the bottom of that
After I get to the bottom of this
Getting down to the bottom, yeah

Well, I look outside and see a world on fire
Lowering the boom and the creek's getting higher
Gotta be ready cause we're on the brink
I'll do better after just one drink
Give me a minute, so I can unthink

About the boss, the bank, the box full of bills
Empty gas tank and it's all uphill
The wife, the kids and why do we all exist?
Add politics, religion and war to the list
Tell me, is there anything that I missed?
And I'll get to the bottom of that
After I get to the bottom of this, yeah

Gotta be ready cause we're on the brink
I'll do better after just one drink
Give me a minute, so I can unthink

About the boss, the bank, the box full of bills
Empty gas tank and it's all uphill
The wife, the kids and why do we all exist?
Add politics, religion and war to the list
Tell me, is there anything that I missed?
And I'll get to the bottom of that
After I get to the bottom of this
Yeah, I'll get to the bottom of that
After I get to the bottom of this, yeah
Getting down to the bottom, yeah
