[Verse 1]
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something that's worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
Woo!
[Chorus]
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do a white line
'Cause when it comes on top, honey
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
Cigarettes and alcohol
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol
[Chorus]
You could wait for a lifetime, ah
To spend your days in the sunshine, ah
You might as well do the white line
'Cause when it comes on top, honey
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
Cigarettes and alcohol
Oh yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Listen, you could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
'Cause when it comes on top, honey
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
Cigarettes and alcohol
Cigarettes and alcohol
Cigarettes and alcohol
Cigarettes and alcohol
Cigarettes and alcohol
You gotta make it happen
Cigarettes and alcohol
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something that's worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
Woo!
[Chorus]
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do a white line
'Cause when it comes on top, honey
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
Cigarettes and alcohol
Oh yeah
