Intro: E (2x's) I can make anybody pretty, I can make you believe any lie I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size I've been known to cause a few breakups I've been known to cause a few births ) I can make you new friends or get you fired from work (Chorus 1) And since the day I left Milwaukee, Lynchburg and Bordeaux France I've been making the bars lots of big money And helping white people dance I got you in trouble in High School, but college now that was a ball You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me Alcohol! Alcohol! I got blamed at your wedding reception For your best man’s embarrassing speech ) And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach I've influenced kings and world leaders I helped Hemmingway write like he did And I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you Put that lamp shade on your head (Chorus 2) Cause since the day I left Milwaukee, Lynchburg and Bordeaux France I've been making a fool out of folks just like you And helping white people dance I am medicine and I am poison I can help you up or make you fall ) You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me Alcohol! (Repeat Chorus 1)
