[Intro]

When I drink to no end, no
I'm losing all my friends

'Til you hold your ground"
[Verse 2]

I'm losing all my friends
I'm losing in the end
[Chorus]
She says, "Behave, little boy
You'd better sit back down
'Til you hold your ground
It's your turn to learn to fight

It's your turn to learn to fight
You'd better sit back down
'Til you hold your ground, yeah"
[Outro]
I am on a binge
I wish things would change
Wish they'd rearrange
I'm on a binge
I wish things would change
Wish they'd rearrange
I'm on a binge
I'm on a binge
Yeah, yeah
