Our favorite joints in town Close down at two, what can we do? Darkness... Walking drunk through empty streets We have nowhere to do 'Cos there's no place where you can drink I think this situation stinks Hopeless... This law can't be the right way We want our beer night and day
Open all night – closing time chock Can't take it no longer Fight for your right – whiskey and beer Straight into the morning Open all night – please! All night! The drinks are locked away The crowds are moving towards the place Where automatic Emma stands Thirsty... Dispensing beer and more A dream machine, a gift of God Empty... Out of luck, this evening sucks Those drinks we always need'em Let's fight for beverage freedom
Now that the city's dead You can't get home without a car Subway Doesn't run past one o'clock You stagger home on foot The wrong direction mile for mile And getting sober all the while Panic... Don't want no more frustration Make this an all night nation Where can we hang out later? At home? They'd tear the place apart Chaos... Just one way: don't close the bars
