Social Skills

Some people suffer from a social stage fright Like the world is a sniper with a bright spotlight You can hide behind a curtain, you can hide behind a mask But stand in the center with a high ball glass The whiskey makes it easy to get you out of your rut And it loosens up the canon ball that's in your gut But the very next morning, ain't it hard to find that you're leaving every single thing you love behind? So, I'll drink this gin and I'll take these pills Just because I don't have social skills And the whiskey burns and the wine it spills It's because I don't have social skills When your hands get clammy and your tongue gets fat And you'd love to say this but instead you say that When your heart starts to poundin' like to break your spine Like it wants to grow legs and find an exit sign Have another double-double 'til the lines get blurred 'Til the jokes come easy and the phrase gets slurred And everybody's happy while they're in control And nothing ever suffers but the liver and the soul So, I'll drink this gin and I'll take these pills Just because I don't have social skills And the whiskey burns and the wine it spills Just because I don't have social skills Well, I'll drink this gin and I'll take these pills Just because I don't have social skills And the pain it causes is the pain it kills Is because I don't have social skills
