Alcohol

I can make anybody pretty

I can make you believe any lie

I can make you pick a fight with

Somebody twice your size

Well I've been known to

Cause a few break-ups

And I've been known to cause a few births

Well I can make you new friends

Or get you fired from work

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 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 and Bordeaux France

I been making a fool

Out of folks just like you

An' helping white people dance

I 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

Yeah since the day I left Milwaukee

Lynchburg and Bordeaux France

Been making the bars lots of big money

（Helpin' white people dance ）

Yeah 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
