You say you want to help,

but end up hurting,

and doing no good.

What you think is helpful,

is not needed,

and should go unheard.

For you think everybody should live their lives as you,

and forget their troubles as you do,

drowning their sorrows in a keg or two.

Well you'll findout this is not the answer,

for your reckoning will come when you run out of booze.
