Some say it's easy
Like taking candy from a child
But still he'd hit the bottle

Like it was going out of style
He said he'd kicked the need
Holding a shot in his hand

But life's plain indifference
Too much for this man


Gotta give it up
He's hooked on the stuff
Fooling no one but yourself

As you cry wolf
Pours out another cup
Well, I've seen enough

Fooling no one but yourself
Cry wolf


Got a taste for the hard stuff
His self respect hits the ground
Too much trust in the bottle

But the bottle leads down
Lost cry of the wasted
That nobody heard

Alcohol obituary
But nobody cared


He's gotta give it up
He's hooked on the stuff
Fooling no one but yourself

As you cry wolf
Pours out another cup
Well, I've seen enough

Fooling no one but yourself
As you cry wolf
