[Verse 1]

You wouldn't take a taxi, you said you wouldn't stay

You drink and drink and drive almost every day

Your life speeds through your mind faster than you drive

Living on a shoestring all your fucking life

Your friends say you need help, you tell them that you're fine

As you tip the bottle and swallow some cheap wine

You're a living time bomb waiting to explode

You'll just be a statistic when you're dead and cold


[Chorus 1]

Every time you drink and drive you always think that you'll survive

Till your car gets crushed and bent

Impact is imminent

Sirens fill the streets aloud, it always draws the biggest crowd

They peel your body off cement

Impact is imminent


[Verse 2]

The daily obituaries reveal

More and more fools climbed behind the wheel

Thinking that they're sober enough to drive

They didn't know they'd never come back alive

A bad case of double vision led straight onto a head-on collision

Passed out and crossed the double line

How can anyone be so asinine?


[Chorus 2]

Blind, drunk and hauling ass, he got airborne off an overpass

He never knew he left the ground like a warhead target bound

You can't correct a fatal mistake

When you're guest of honor at your own wake

Thought he could fly till he hit cement

Impact is imminent


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Drunken time bombs set to detonate

When happy hour's over they're off to celebrate

Their vision's but a blur, they barely see the road

Been drinking for so long they're starting to erode

A fucking drunken lush driving in his car

Kills you in an instant coming from the bar

An alcoholic bum hits you from behind

A child and his mother run down in their prime


[Chorus 1]

Every time you drink and drive you always think that you'll survive

Till your car gets crushed and bent

Impact is imminent

Sirens fill the streets aloud, it always draws the biggest crowd

They peel your body off cement

Impact is imminent


[Chorus 2]

Blind, drunk and hauling ass, he got airborne off an overpass

He never knew he left the ground like a warhead target bound

You can't correct a fatal mistake

When you're guest of honor at your own wake

Thought he could fly till he hit cement

Impact is imminent


[Outro]

Hahahah, ah, right
