god bless 'em all

the best of intension

a pound of prevention

half-hearted convention

it won't change a thing

and bangin' your head on

the bell of abstention

won't grant you no freedom

it won't make it rain

and honorable mentions

a watch and a pension

and an ounce of pretension won't take you to fall

your ears are your aim

and you can or you can't

nobody remembers at all who you are

well the years and the beers and the smiles and the tears

they measure their milage but don't shorten the fall

for the love of old losers

bummers and boozers

pickers and choosers

well god bless 'em all

it's been my contention

that rapid ascension

the added dimensions don't measure a man

we lose and we cry

we love and we try

just fightin' to finish the best way we can

the permanent invention of old ache suspension

has brought an extension to those who will pay

but i'd rather be high and live till i die

just love it and leave it and call it a day

well the years and the beers and the smiles and the tears

they measure their milage but don't shorten the fall

for the love of old losers

bummers and boozers

pickers and choosers

well god bless 'em all

'cause the years and the beers and the smiles and the tears

all measure their milage but don't shorten the fall

for the love of old losers

bummers and boozers

pickers and choosers

well god bless 'em all
