Some Other Sucker's Parade Lyrics
I must've had a million damn unlucky days
But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away
I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place
But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight
They say with faith any soul can make it
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix
I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate
So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking
I ain't gonna stray
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away
I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place
But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix
I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate
I ain't gonna stray
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
I really love what Justin is saying here. The self-proclaimed righteous really don't know what the hell they're talking about. And I really don't care anyway. I'll just trying to drink my sorrows away, sin or not. It's just that simple.
And I've had those days. Getting shnockered to lose the blues may not have been the best idea, but it worked well at the time.
Too bad alcohol doesn’t really fix anything. Rather than drowning the bad stuff out, better to turn and face whatever’s doggng you, deal with it, and learn a little from it. This is where true emotional growth comes from, and that’s absent when you “…drink when you’re suffering”.
