My son has many problems.
He worries at night.
He drinks for relaxation.
It’s every man’s right.

My wife’s a nagging bitch and
her kids whine all day.
I need a couple beers to
drive the blues away.

My husband is dependent.
He drinks in a bar.
I worry when he’s out for
he drinks in the car.

My daddy’s alcoholic.
He buys too much beer.
I need some clothes and toys but
the money’s not there.
