The Way You Always Are

Forever you’re my brother
The antithesis of hated
But your drunken belligerence
Is unappreciated
It’s 3 a.m. right now, oh yeah
So what? I called you first
It makes no matter anyhow
Whose misery is worse
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
The way you always be
Quit being like you
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
And I won’t be the way I always am too
I don’t care if your case is more
Or less substantiated
Let’s tell it to the jury
When we’re unintoxicated
My children love me still
Jesus suffers for my sin
And you don’t got a pool no more
So I’m not going in
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
The way you always be
Quit being like you
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
And I won’t be the way I always am too
No!
It’s a wonder I’m not in some
Gulley lacerated
My insolence is widely known
So what’s to be debated?
I think you oughta let a little
Sunshine in your heart
Before some ranger shoots you with
A tranquilizer dart
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
The way you always be
Quit being like you
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
And I won’t be the way I always am too
How 'bout that?
