O what if I never wanna be sober?
So what if I wanna be numb all the time?
I can't justify why I'd wanna go slower
Taking my time just ain't my style, yeah

I walk dead or alive
I waste my time whenever I like
I'm feelin ok with my whiskey hangover

So what you cleaned your act up so far
So what if I'm pissing into the wind (again)?
Have you ever thought that I'm not who you are? (baby)
'cause even when I lose I know how to win again and again
So sick of you preaching all the time
Just keep your shitty advice inside

'cause I walk dead or alive
I waste my time whenever I like
I'm feelin ok with my whiskey hangover
Oh yeah yeah
'cause I walk dead or alive
I waste my time whenever I like
I'm feelin ok with my whiskey hangover
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!!
Lets go!

One sip ain't gunna do shit
On the 2nd sip I begin to admit
That the 3rd one down is what makes me feel alright
And number 4 I slam down to the floor
By 5 I'm ready to fight all night
And then 6, 7, 8 to make me break your face sometimes

'cause I walk dead or alive
I waste my time whenever I like
I'm feelin ok with my whiskey hangover
Oh yeah yeah
'cause I walk dead or alive
I waste my time whenever I like
I'm feelin ok with my whiskey hangover
With my whiskey hangover
With my whiskey hangover
With my whiskey hangover
With my whiskey hangover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
