Not a Moment Too Soon - God, I Need a Drink!

God, I need a drink
It's been a long, long day working for The Man
And I could scream
Make it a Pomona Queen
It's such a hard, hard life, I chase the bag
What happened to my dreams?
As I was saying to my shrink
There's so much, where do I begin?
She said: "you're ripe for strong medicine"
I said: "fine," washed it down with a drink

The house has been a mess, and same goes for my life
Since the handyman left me for my wife
Well, I have the dog, he goes yap, I bag his crap
Guess you could call it love, it's all I got, hear me God

God, I need a drink
It's been a down, down day, my wife is gone
I might have made a scene
Make it a Pomona Queen
I'm microwaving all my meals
And there's a pile of dishes in the sink
As I was saying to my priest
"When all is done will I be saved at least?"
He said "predestination is your best bet"
I said: "fine," and took what I could get

I used to get a wage and now I'm a contractor
And for some extra cash I drive and I deliver
Ain't got no boss, it's great, but no 401k, no healthcare
Self-medication is my mate, hear me God, life ain't fair

God, I need a drink
All boats rise, rise with the tide
And yet I can feel mine sink
Make it a Pomona Queen
It's such a sad, sad time
When it's sorrow America brings
God, I need a drink
As I was saying to my dog
If past is prolog, what's yet to come?
[It's such a mad, mad time
When it's to morons America clings]
Make it a Pomona Queen
He wagged his tail, said: "We're in luck
Here come a fire hydrant and a bone"
[I saw a pretty, pretty lady
She was fat and I could hear her sing]
