When the shit starts flying I'm the first one leaving
It's so easy to get caught with your hand in the jar
They leave bottles out but they're watching the bar
And if you push back they'll push harder
Gotta keep your head above emotional slaughter
And I don't want to make you alarmed
But I'm lyrically armed
5:30 and the sky is clearing
I close my blinds and I finish my beer
and it's one more night behind me
one more day is dawning in the city
and I feel alright
looks like I made it through another night
my love is yours but my pain is my own
take what I need and I'm gone
