The High Party - Ted Leo

I'm looking at another day

To find that I've got no no nothing to say

Or I'm looking for another way

To process what happened on, on, on that birthday

And either way, if you're gonna call it art

Then there's a cup in front of you

And right away, if you're gonna play your part

You must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down

Well, mine eyes have seen the

Glory of the fields of flowers and fac fac factory farms

And my mind's content to

Lie at rest for hours behind my

Love love loved ones' doors

And if there's a war

Another shitty war to fight for Ba Ba Babylon

It's the perfect storm in a teacup

But you must drink it down,

Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down

And what do you make of nights

When you thought you'd make much more

Than being too drunk to turn the

Lights out and too tired to drink more?

And what does it take to not hear

The cynics at your door?

Saying it's time to turn the lights

Out and you want to keep it down,

Keep it down, keep it down,keep it down

So I'm lifting up that poison cup,

To drink a draught of pro pro propaganda

Or I'm giving up that other stuff

In hopes that it's gonna ma ma make me madder

Either way, if you're gonna call it art

Then there's a cup in front of you

And right away, if you're gonna play your part

You must drink it down,

Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down

And what do you make of nights

When you thought you'd make much more

Than being too drunk to turn the lights

Out and too tired to drink more?

And what does it take to not

Hear the cynics at your door?

Saying it's time to turn the lights

Out and you want to keep it down,

Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down

Keep it down

And what do you make of nights

When you thought you'd make much more

Than being too drunk to turn the

Lights out and too tired to drink more?

And what does it take to not hear

The cynics at your door?

Saying it's time to turn the

Lights out and you want to keep it

And what does it say of all of the

Things you've said before

Than being too tired to turn the

Lights out and too drunkto drink more?

And what do you save, what does

It feel like to be saved?

And can you pull, two three four, pull,

Two three, can you drink it down,

Drink it down, drink it down,

Drink it down, drink it down?

Drink it down, drink it down?

Drink it down
