Worm Drink Lyrics

I’ll march no longer
I’ll fight no more
You can send out all the track snivelers,
But I’m done with war.

Wind him up, bring him back
Conscript, deserter.
The Worm Drink is loose.
Wind him up, bring him back
Conscript, deserter.
The proof is in the juice.

University Boulevard.
New Hampshire Avenue.
Tick Tock Liquor.
Thunderbird.

And now that we have totally lost all composure,
We will wither from exposure beneath the sun.

Wind him up, bring him back
Conscript, deserter.
The Worm Drink is loose.
Wind him up, bring him back
Conscript, deserter.
The proof is in the juice.

If you see me at the bottom,
Please bring me my running shoes.
And if you see me getting caught up,
Yeah, you know what to do.

I’ll march no longer
I’m done with war
Send out your snivelers,
But I’ll march no more.

Wind him up, bring him back
Conscript, deserter.
The Worm Drink is loose.
Wind him up, bring him back
Conscript, deserter.
The proof is in the juice.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

put the emphasis on "worm" and it rather self explanatory.

worming out of responsibility primarily and everyone seems to be taking a hit of the "drink".

University Boulevard. New Hampshire Avenue. Tick Tock Liquor. Thunderbird.

And now that we have totally lost all composure, We will wither from exposure beneath the sun.

Tick Tock Liquors is a liquor store on University Boulevard (thank you Google) and Thunderbird is a strong, cheap wine favoured by winos, which could certainly cause one to "lose all composure". I've only visited the states a couple of times, and never Maryland, but I've noticed that in contrast to the pasty-faced heroin addicts sleeping rough in Britain, America's homeless seem to be mostly drinkers, and all seem to be badly sunburned and leathery skinned, or "withered from exposure beneath the sun". Perhaps this song has more of a socio-political theme than immediately apparent?
