Double

Michael Knott

[Verse 1]
You're sitting there wondering why is it like this
And the whole world's crazy, and the earth is sick
And someone's yelling from the bathroom door
The toilet's overflowing on the floor
And the one by the phone says, "I cannot hear"
While the one by the jukebox spills his beer
And the man on the pinball hits sixteen mil
Someone ducks behind the counter to pop a pill
And you reach in your pocket to see if there's more
And the biggest bill falls, so you're left with four
And you're too gone to look, but you still try
Then you see it in the hand of a great big guy
He looks just like he'd kill you fast
And you think for a minute, you let it pass

[Chorus]
And the stool falls over when you set back down
It bumps a mean pool shooter from across the town
He misses his shot, it's all on you
And with your last four bucks you know what you'll do
"Sorry, man, can I buy you a drink?"
And he shakes his head and says, "Make it a double"

[Verse 2]
And the next thing you know, you wake up at home
And the little one there won't leave you alone
She's awake and hungry, she needs some potty help
And you remember what happened last time she tried it by herself
And your wife says, "Hurry, we're late for church"
And you can barely see, and your head still hurts
And the preacher starts preaching, and you feel remorse
He's got five little kids and a big divorce
And your wife looks down and says she don't know how
He's been her guiding light for ten years now
And his marriage is over, it's barely alive
And how in the hell will ours ever survive?

[Chorus]
And the stool falls over when you set back down
It bumps a mean pool shooter from across the town
He misses his shot, it's all on you
And with your last four bucks you know what you'll do
"Sorry, man, can I buy you a drink?"
And he shakes his head and says, "Make it a double"
