The Glorious Bottle
Back down, please
Before I am forced to kill
Just fall on your weak knees
Do I give your spine a chill?
Be quiet, will you?
Before I lose my cool
Beg that when this is through
You will be only a slightly mangled fool.
Quiet, shut your face
Before I feel the need to strike
You need to learn your place
I can be as terrifying as I like.
Be smart, you young ones
Before I want to hurt
Keep this up and your life is done
They will bury you in the dirt.
Put me down, kid
Before I take your life
Find a place where I can be hid
Hopefully that will end to your strife.
You see, you will perish
Before you knew what was coming
Please see life as something to cherish
Even though I feel nice when I am numbing.
Save yourself, you lost child
Before you throw everything away
I, the bottle, will take my toll
And be the end to your glorious days
