Long One - Grieves

Woke up, broke down

Boss callin' me tellin me I’m a clown, see

I couldn’t hold a conversation let alone a job

So I should come and get my shit before they throw it out

Typical, I guess the clouds came back for me

Couldn’t run from the spell that’s been cast on me

Last time I got surrounded by gloom I was Lieutenant Dan drunk, screamin' at

the moon sayin'

Fuck it, let the lines be crossed

Let’s climb up on the roof and toss knives at God

I don’t need a mindless job I’m fine without it

You can keep your nine to five and your high-rise trousers

I got the fifth of bourbon on deck

A contact list, full of homies in debt

So when life deals you nothin' but jokers and holds tens

We get drunk off that severance check, man

It’s gonna be a long one

It’s gonna be a lone one, ay, It’s gonna be a long one, oh

Drinkin' til the sun comes up, and I said

It’s gonna be a lone one, ay, It’s gonna be a long one

(So grab a couple of brews and come on now)

Fell down, got up

Found love, got dumped

Cuz she don’t need an unemployed punk runnin' round livin' life like the pile

of blues records in his trunk

It’s a damn shame, but I don’t think I’m gonna miss her

She wants the dog, the house, to call me mister

Ironically now she calls me an asshole

Call me at her job from the craft store

Told me that I’m dealin' with a disease

I don’t wanna succeed

Anybody that’s ever tried to assist me gets it

I’ve become a product of the slump

Pig-headed stubborn ass loser of the month, yeah

Lost cause on a castle of his junk

Tryin' to sweep a mountain of fuck ups under the rug

Man I get it, all of this has pushed me to the limit

So now I’m gonna drink until I’m spinnin'

It’s gonna be a long one

I’m gonna be up all night

It’s gonna be a long one, yeah (x2)

I’m gonna be up all night

It’s gonna be a long yeah, a long one yeah, a long long long long one

It’s gonna be a long one, ay, It’s gonna be a long one, oh

Drinkin' til the sun comes up, and I said

It’s gonna be a lone one, ay, It’s gonna be a long one

(So grab a couple of brews and come on now)
