Текст песни The Battle of the Booze

In chilly northern climates Where they could not grow the vine They perfected a distillation Which has stood the test of time Derided by the gentry As a drink of peasantry It has conquered half the world With its ghostly subtlety In the battle of the booze Vodka takes the crown Hits you when you're up Kicks you when you're down While sailing through the world Use some common sense The juices of the grain Make life more intense The first one on a Friday Is my highlight of the week It's the first stop on a journey To the oblivion I seek I'll take this way in the future As I took this way before It warms me from the inside As it opens up the door In the battle of the booze Vodka takes the crown It hits you when you're up And it kicks you when you're down While sailing through the world Use some common sense The juices of the grain Make life more intense Many are the kinds of agitation that it stills Equaling the number of the brain cells that it kills It's name is true and so are you when you have it embodied It loves to bring to light what you keep hidden In the battle of the booze Vodka takes the crown It hits you when you're up And it kicks you when you're down While sailing through the world Use some common sense The juices of the grain Make life more intense In the battle of the booze (battle of the booze) Vodka takes the crown (vodka takes the crown) Yeah, it hits you when you're up (hits you when you're up) And it kicks you when you're down (kicks you when you're down) While sailing through the world (sailing through the world) Use some common sense (use some common sense) The juices of the grain Make life more intense
