From the recording Sober at the Wake
Lyrics
The mission of the day
stay sober at the wake
allergic to foul play
looking for closure
far too young a man to die
hard to understand and the Angels sigh
how common is a gun
how common is a fair fight
stay calm and not get drunk
or are you gonna get tight,
stay sober at the wake
A complicated fate
a life can be erased
less dignity then grace
and left unsatisfied
everybody has to die
not everybody catches a bullet that ends their life
how common is a gun
how common is a fair fight
stay calm and not get drunk
or are you gonna get tight,
stay sober at the wake
