I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight

With somebody twice your size

I been known to cause a few break ups

I been known to cause a few births
I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from Work


[1st Chorus]
And since the day I left Milwaukee

Lynchburg and Bordeaux France
Been making the bars lots of big money
And helping white people dance

I 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
Alcohol


I got blamed at your wedding reception
For your best man's embarrassing speech

And also for those
Naked pictures of you at the beach


I've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemmingway write like he did
And I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you

Put that lampshade on your head

[2nd Chorus]

'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux France
Been making a fool out of folks just like you

And helping white people dance
I'm 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

Alcohol

[Repeat 1st Chorus]
