Sixteen Forties

Sixteen and drinking forties Nothing out of the ordinary It's all been done before me I'll make a way Jake got kicked out, out of school For selling drugs, and being a tool I told him to run but he didn't bother The cops put the cuffs on him at his locker Jake's mom broke out in tears His dad was a drunk and disappeared His little sister got so stoned I saw her by the river she was drinking alone, singing Sixteen and drinking forties Nothing out of the ordinary Its all been done before me I'll make a way MG, seventeen working a job Falling in love with the local punk rock Sneaking into bars with a smile and tight shirt Talking to the bands and taking their picture Well she said she's getting out of here Dropping out of school for a new career She's come so far she's got nothing to fear From where she was this time last year Sixteen and drinking forties Nothing out of the ordinary Its all been done before me I'll make a way Four sixteen in the morning Tripping down the road I'm drunk and horny Its all been done before me I'll waste away Let me escape, the ordinary Stuck in a place, that's so fucking boring Get me away, my mind is unsanitary I don't wanna be, another small town casualty Sixteen and drinking forties Nothing out of the ordinary Its all been done before me I'll make a way Four sixteen in the morning Tripping down the road all drunk and horny Its all been done before me I'll waste away Sixteen Forties For me Well I'll make a way Sixteen Mourning For me Well I'll waste away
