lyrics

The bars close at 2am, we’re out on the streets at three
We’re blind drunk on Guinness and Jameson whiskey
So we head up to the Oasis for a pint or two or three
Two dollars for a Jim Beam, but if you show your tits it’s free

I’m out with the boys and I’m feeling very childish -
That’s what you get for drinking with the Irish


There’s a fight down at the dartboard and you’re rooting for the bikers
You play a game of pool and lose for five more pints of cider
A curvy chick gives you the eye, she wants you up inside her
Her husband taps you on the back, his fists are clenching tighter

My throat’s on fire and I don’t know what the time is -
That’s what you get for drinking with the Irish


Time to drop my friends home and the cops are out in force
They’re just another obstacle to avoid while on this course
I drive the wrong way down the street, the signs are in old Norse
Tire skid marks in our wake with no signs of remorse

Lights go on and up go the sirens -
That’s what you get for drinking with the Irish


Daylight breaks as I get home, I’m used up like a whore
My shift starts in an hour as my head lands on the floor
I skip the shower and brush my teeth, I’m a sight you can’t ignore
Tonight they’ll call me up again, we’ll booze it up once more

You can’t stop now, you’re addicted to the carnage -
That’s what you get for drinking with the Irish

Don’t sober up or your reputation’s tarnished -
That’s what you get for drinking with the Irish

The Snakes image

The Snakes Chicago, Illinois

From the karaoke bars of Rogers Park comes a union of three great musicians with day jobs who like it fast, loud, rude, and ending at a reasonable hour so we can work tomorrow.

The Snakes are Zach Tipton on bass, Mikki Scorpion on guitar, and Aaron Smith on drums.

We expect you all to give us ridiculous amounts of money and sexual acts to challenge our wildest imaginations. When you're ready. ... more
