Doublewhiskeycokenoice Lyrics

SOMETIMES IT'S SIMPLE THINGS THAT MAKE IT HARD
SPOILED BABY T's WITH CREDIT CARDS
OVERTIME ALWAYS ON MY MIND
COULD HAVE BEENS EAT AWAY INSIDE NOW

PRAISE GOD AND PASS THE BOTTLE OF BEAM
BECAUSE TONIGHT I CAN'T SEEM TO SAY WHAT I MEAN
DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD, EVEN IF I COULD, AMEN

SOMEHOW THIS SEEMS LIKE BORROWED TIME
PAY IT NO MIND, EVERYTHING IS FINE
BUT SOMETIMES I'D RATHER HEAR LAUGHTER
WHILE THIS WHOLE PLACE DIED.

A JOHNNY JUMP-UP IS A LOVELY THING
A PINT OF CIDER AND SOME WHISKEY
I HAD FOUR DEAD INSIDE OF ME
JUST TO HEAR THIS JACKASS SING HIS LINE ABOUT
HOW HE USED TO HANG OUT SOMEWHERE "BACK IN THE DAY
KNOWING TERMS ONLY AN ASSHOLE WOULD SAY
SO I SAT THERE DRINKING MORE
THINKING ABOUT DRINKING MORE

NELSON ALGREN CAME TO ME
AND SAID CELEBRATE THE UGLY THINGS
THE BEAT UP SIDE OF WHAT THEY CALL PRIDE
COULD BE THE MEASURE OF THESE DAYS

GOD SAVE OTIS REDDING BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S NEVER GONE
AS SICK FALLS FROM THIS MOUTH HEAR ME SING IT WRONG
IS IT "CIGARETTES AND COFFEE" NOW OR DREAMS TO BE REMEMBERED
I'LL LEAVE REGRETS FOR DEAD AND SING ALONG

SO I'M REACHING FOR THE PHONE, I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE
I WANT TO GET SOME FRIENDS HERE TONIGHT
I GOT A BASEMENT FULL OF OOZE AND SOME BLUES TO LOSE
I'LL IGNORE THE WHOLE WORLD TONIGHT
IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

One of the greatest songs ever written, from one of the most punk rock bands of all time.

Does anyone know if "celebrate the ugly things" is a specific Algren quote? It's a pretty good summation of his philosophy, but I haven't read too much of his stuff, so I'm not sure if it's a direct quote or not.

SOUNDZ A LOT LIEK AMERICAN IDIOT IF U ASK ME

Cover art for Doublewhiskeycokenoice lyrics by Dillinger Four

Midwestern Songs of the Americas was released in 1998. That album is what this song is from. American Idiot came out in 2004. Do the math.

Hey Kris, I think maybe he might have been kidding just a little bit!

Not Valid

This song makes me think that he hates what punk has become and how everyone thinks it's supposed to be about "back in the day", when really "back in the day" to them is like, ten years ago. Punk wasn't at it's prime ten years ago like these assholes say it is, and he's sick of everyone trying to make it into something like an exclusive club that only the cool kids can get into. So he ends up night after night and show after show just drinking trying to forget about how he hates these people.

I could be completely wrong, and probably am, this is just what I think about.
