Emmanuel from Arguably OK by TK & The Holy Know-Nothings

When I wake up, I don’t wake up
Until I crawl inside a coffee cup full of speed and powder drugs and coffee

When I get to work, I don’t get to work
Until I give my brain another jerk with a couple keep-me-goins and a calm-me-down

Some folks roll automatic
They rise and fall just like God would have it
And life’s as easy as just pressing the gas and going
Well, I wish I could, but I spent a lot of years
Trading the tides for coffee and beers
And now I gotta shift my own busted gears
I’m a manual

When it’s happy hour, it ain’t happy hour
Until a couple rounds, tall, strong and sour, get to shining up my smile for you to see

When it’s time to chill, I don’t got time to chill
Until I get my watch to start standing still, and I know how, but that sure will be expensive

Some folks roll automatic
They rise and fall just like God would have it
And life’s as easy as just pressing the gas and going
Well, I wish I could, but I spent a lot of years
Trading the tides for coffee and beers
Now I gotta shift my own busted gears
I’m a manual

I need my chemicals
To keep this vehicle
On the road

When she’s ready for sex, I ain’t ready for sex
Until I sneak a pill from my bedside chest, and, man, I’m far too young for this, I’m a manual

When it’s time to sleep, I don’t go to sleep
Until I smoke a big ol’ bowl of weed and wash it down with cold and flu relief, I’m talking bout the good stuff

Some folks roll automatic
They rise and fall just like God would have it
And life’s as easy as just pressing the gas and going
Well, I wish I could, but I spent a lot of years
Trading the tides for coffee and beers
Now I gotta shift my own busted gears
I’m a manual

I need my chemicals
To keep this vehicle
On the road
