I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice your sizeWell I've been known to cause a few breakups
And I've been known to cause a few births
I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from workAnd since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' the bars lots of big money
And helpin' white people danceI got you in trouble in high school
But college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcoholI got blamed at your wedding reception
For your best man's embarrassing speech
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beachI've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemingway write like he did
And I`ll bet you a drink or two that I can make you
Put that lampshade on your head'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' a fool out of folks just like you
And helpin' white people danceI am medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcoholYes since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' the bars lots of big money
And helpin' white people danceYea I got you in trouble in high school
And college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol
