Theme From "Cheers" - Titus Andronicus

I’m sorry, Mama, but I’ve been drinking again

Me and the old man got us a head start on the weekend

And rest assured, tonight I’m going to be in Kevin’s basement with all my

friends

Provided we can get, get our lazy asses down to Bottle King by ten

And the walk home is going to be a real shit show

I’ll be picking up half-smoked cigarette butts all up and down Rock Road

And then to throw up in the warm glow of the traffic light

But I’m gonna put the devil inside to sleep if it takes all night

So let’s get fucked up, and let’s pretend we’re all okay

And if you’ve got something that you can’t live with

Save it for another day, all right?

Save it for another day

I’m sorry, Mama, but expect a call from the neighbors tonight

All of my asshole buddies are coming over and they’re feeling a little too all

right

I’m sick and tired of everyone in this town being so goddamn uptight

But don’t you worry, I’ll do all the talking when they turn on the flashing

lights

When I’m an old man, I can be the quiet type

And I can go without a moment of fun for the rest of my life

I can read a good book, and I can be in bed by ten

And I can get up early, go to work and come home, and start it all over again

But while we’re young, boys, everybody raise your glasses high

Singing, 'Here's to the good times, here’s to the home team

Kiss the good times goodbye, oh yeah

Kiss the good times goodbye.'

I need a timeout, I need an escape from reality

Or else I need eternal darkness and death, I need an exit strategy

Down in North Carolina, I could have been a productive member of society

But these New Jersey cigarettes and all they require have made a fucking junkie

out of me

So give me a Guinness, give me a Keystone Light

Give me a kegger on a Friday night

Give me anything but another year in exile

I need a whiskey, I need a whiskey right now

God knows how many times I’ve said this before

But I really don’t feel like doing this anymore

So hey, Andy, let’s turn into dirty old men

Close down the bar every night at the Glen Rock Inn

Talk about our grandkids as we stroke our grey bears

Funny we’re still doing carbombs after all of these years

And I know there are bicycles waiting to ride

But I could swear I heard voices from the other side, saying

'Wait until you see the whites of their eyes.'

And now that I’m older, I look back and say

'What the fuck was it for anyway?'

For those dreams are lying in the still of the grave —

What the fuck were they for anyway?

So let it be on a stretcher if I get carried away —

What the fuck was it for anyway?
