Gonna dive into a jive I've dove into before Gonna haunt a haunt I've haunted Like a million times or more A familiar joint Where getting drunk's the only point To frequent this place With any frequency at all Countin' on a remedy I've counted on before Goin' with a cure that's never failed me What you call the disease, I call the remedy What you're callin' the cause, I call the cure Gonna sing a song, a song to you A song I've sung before Belt out a ballad that I've belted out A million times or more The words I'm gonna scream And getting drunk's the central theme to the lyrics, if you can Make the lyrics out at all Countin' on a remedy I've counted on before Goin' with a cure that's never failed me What you call the disease, I call the remedy What you're callin' the cause, I call the cure Just a devotion to a potion Please no applause A dedication to a medication A crutch a cure a cause What I've counted on to pick me up Has knocked me to my knees Before I hit the floor once more I'll call it the disease
