"THE ROGUE"
I came duffed up and left an drank just to forget
The guilt of last nights wake lead to Booze and more Tom Waits
I drag myself to work with one eye open just to
lurk
I stew and repent then punch out and start again
Just blame it on my mates and Booze
I'm never in the right
I got pissed again a played the rogue
for another night
I had a scrapin' with a racist at the local Pub
The Tinley Park patrons just labeled me a punk
Chased out to rove the hateful streets we grew to love
Then drank and shouted up how the bigot ate the dust
Truth and Intoxicants
Never help the cause
And an angstful attitude
Never helped me with the law
I'll play the rogue no more
But i said this all before
Christ I'm just ringing out
But I can't in this fuckin' town
It's no nay never no more
Does the rogue have me done for
An i play the rogue no more
What the fuck am I lie'n' for
If there's a pint to drink I'm drunk before I think
No matter the time or day I can't turn my back away
For me it's all real fun till i remember what I've done
The lines I never crossed are just memories i've lost
I squandered all my time along with money and mates of mine
I tried to straighten out but the depressions pulled me down
I'm just a drink away from my belated last hooray
Then lay me down to rest from this life that I detest
