lyrics

in the flickering light
from the left and right
pass the bottle down
on election night
when they say "I'll say this"
with a diligent fist
eyes teared with mist
pass the bottle down

just need a little sip, my friends
pass it down before the end
I need a drink if God's on my side
let's take one down

with a reformed grip
take a resolute sip
to the very last drip
pass the bottle down
and their voices ring
without saying a thing
but you know what they mean
so pass it all around

just need a little sip, my friends
pass it down before the end
I need a drink if God's on my side
so let's take one down

on commercial break
when they bare their teeth
and they judo point
pass the bottle down
bureaucrats
and diplomats
and faulty stats
pass it all around

just need a little sip, my friends
pass it down before the end
I need a drink if God's on my side
let's take one down
