Pure fiction. A little bluesy and a little cheezy. But still a fun song.

Story behind the song
I was drunk one night a wrote this song. Need I say more?
Lyrics
Some people say I love to drink
And sing me a song or two, well
Is that so bad
Not complicated
Just give me a bottle
And I'll be cool, yeah
Don't want to cause no trouble
Or be misunderstood
But it's inevitable
Just like I knew it would...be, yeah
I knew it would be
Here they come now
Those pigs they come again
They come to question me
They knew where I had been
They took away my rights
They took away my pride
They took away my self-esteem, yeah
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
Na na na nana I post bail
Now I return
My guitar strapped to my back
A bottle back in my hands, yeah
Jack he took me back
Jim he took me in
I'm hangin' down and out
With my two best friends
[chorus]
Seems like this happens all the time
Don't take away my alcohol
Don't take away my alcohol
Well you can do anything at all but just
Don't take away my precious alcohol
Well here I am now
Back on my feet again
You won't see Jack or Jim
But say hello to Hieniken
Here they come now
Those pigs they come again
They come to question me
They knew where I had been
They took away my house
They took away my clothes
They took away everything, yeah
They took away my life
And while they were at it
They wrote and took this message down
I said tell my mom I love her
Tell her I'm gonna call
Tell her to tell these pigs
Don't take away my alcohol and
Tell my dad I love him
Tell him I'm gonna call
Tell him to tell these pigs
Don't take away my alcohol
[chorus]
