I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice your size

I been known to cause a few break ups
I been known to cause a few births
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 Hemmingway 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
Been making a fool out of folks just like you
And helping white people dance
I´m 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

Alcohol

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
