I'm A Man, I'm A Man

99 bottles of beer on the wall

99 bottles of beer

Take one down, pass it around

98 bottles of beer on the wall

98 bottles of beer on the wall

98 bottles of beer

take more down

drink it all down

No more bottles of beer on the wall

and it's cause you got greedy

Cause you wanted more than what you needed

Cuase you had a problem, thought drinking would solve it

But it didn't and now you're addicted (addicted)

Conflicted (conflicted)

Depicted as weak, confused, bruised

Soothed by the liquor at the cost of your liver

and everyone around you.

Dad's so scary at night

He's so angry he might

Danger red in his eyes

Boy was scared for his life

Boy keeps begging himself

Don't you cry, do not cry

Then he stood and he said

I'm a man, I'm a man

I don't need this no more

I'm a man, I'm a man

I can stand on my own

I'm a man, I'm a man

Love is stronger than your addiction

If I can, yes you can, be the man that I love

No more bottles of beer on the wall

No more bottles of beer

Went to the store

Bought some more

99 bottles of beer on the wall

Happy day, yes happy day

Except now you got kids who look up to you

"yay"

"Dad do you wanna play?"

"No, I can't I got things."

"Oh, okay...except"

Those things are the reason you avoid feeling pain

Those things are the reason you will keep being the same

do you love being drunk more than you love your own kids?

Do you think about the wreck before you lunge into a drink?

Do you think about your son, or your daughter, or your wife

before you drag them into all this strife?

Too much fun is just too much fun

Leads to waking up nauseous seeing everything you've done.

I'm a man, I'm a man

I don't need this no more

I'm a man, I'm a man

I can stand on my own

I'm a man, I'm a man
