GONNA GET DRUNK is about getting dumped. It starts with popping a beer and finishes with an empty bank account, a broken bed and an aversion to blonde-haired women.

Lyrics
Gonna Get Drunk
Just got back from the beer store with a two-four
The door was open and my TV set was gone
You’d wrote a note on my Hydro bill:
“I’m leaving you and the dog is ill”
I guess this means you won’t be home for lunch
CHORUS
So I’m gonna get drunk
Yes, I’m gonna get drunk
And I’m gonna get drunk
And I’m gonna get drunk
And I’m gonna stay drunk till I can forget about you
You were a real live ad for spray-on designer jeans
You were long and lean and blonde and looked nineteen
When you moved in, you said you loved me
So why’d you have to love the tenant above me
And two guys named Terry down at the Value-Mart?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You gave me a mid-life crisis, and I’m only 23
My hair’s goin’ grey and my friends all say that I’m not the man I used to be
CHORUS
I phoned the bank and my savings account is dead
You’d forged a cheque and bought a car and a brand new bed
You wear out beds like you wear out men
You ride ‘em rough again and again
You’re a hazard to a young man’s mental health
CHORUS
CHURCH ORGAN CHORUS
So I’m going to get drunk
And I’m going to get high
And I’m going to get ripped
And I’m not going to cry
And I’m going to stay pissed 'til I can forget about you
