Don’t talk, listen to me Instead, I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard

The drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you’re in now.

Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care but

When your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air, tossing back

Your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back more

Care.
