Jimmy and I were brothers,
we walked down different paths.
Jimmy always listened to our mother,
me I never liked to take a bath.
As we grew and stumbled through adulthood
the pressure caused emotional strain.
Now I'm slowly dying in the bottle,
and Jimmy has to live with half a brain.
[chorus]
Yes, me I got a bottle in front of me,
and Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to ease the pain the same.
But I'd rather have a bottle in from of me,
than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk but at least I'm not insane.
Jimmy let his troubles drive him crazy.
He never tried to drown them in a drink.
I know that drinking makes my thinking hazy,
but at least I still have brains enough to think.
Jimmy's got a brain that isn't stable,
He doesn't have the sense to say his name.
I'm sorry that the doctor was unable
to remove the proper portion of his brain.
[chorus]
Funny how the world works.
People can be real jerks.
Some prefer the tension over booze.
Either way it ends the same.
Hard to beat the living game.
Might as well enjoy it while you lose.
When I need a drink I start to shiver.
Jimmy always did it with concern.
But I'd rather have cirosis of the liver
than an intellect that's second to a fern.
I know that Jimmy doesn't want to here it
when I tell him that his logic wasn't sound.
They'll dose him up on lots of evil spirits
when they take him to the psychiatric ground.
[chorus]
