Lyrics

Woke up, broke down

Waking up feeling emotionally distressed or financially broke.

Boss callin' me tellin me I'm a clown, see

Feeling criticized by a boss, being considered a joke.

I couldn't hold a conversation let alone a job

Difficulty holding conversations and maintaining a job.

So I should come and get my shit before they throw it out

Being told to retrieve personal belongings before they are discarded.

Typical, I guess the clouds came back for me

Facing recurring challenges or setbacks represented by clouds.

Couldn't run from the spell that's been cast on me

Unable to escape a negative influence or situation.

Last time I got surrounded by gloom I was Lieutenant Dan drunk, screamin' at the moon sayin'

Recalling a past experience of feeling overwhelmed and intoxicated.

Fuck it, let the lines be crossed

Embracing chaos, allowing boundaries to be blurred.

Let's climb up on the roof and toss knives at God

Suggesting defiance by suggesting an act of rebellion against fate or destiny.

I don't need a mindless job I'm fine without it

Rejecting conventional jobs and embracing individuality.

You can keep your nine to five and your high-rise trousers

Disregarding societal norms and expectations.

I got the fifth of bourbon on deck

Having alcohol readily available.

A contact list, full of homies in debt

Having friends in financial trouble listed on a contact list.

So when life deals you nothin' but jokers and holds tens

Coping with life's challenges by getting drunk.

We get drunk off that severance check, man

Using a severance check as a means to cope with difficulties.

It's gonna be a long one

Anticipating a prolonged period of hardship.


It's gonna be a lone one, ay, It's gonna be a long one, oh

Reiterating the expectation of a challenging and lonely journey.

Drinkin' til the sun comes up, and I said

Drinking until sunrise as a way to cope with difficulties.

It's gonna be a lone one, ay, It's gonna be a long one

Emphasizing the expectation of a solitary journey.

(So grab a couple of brews and come on now)

Encouraging others to join in the coping mechanism of drinking.


Fell down, got up

Experiencing setbacks but getting back up.

Found love, got dumped

Experiencing love but facing heartbreak.

Cuz she don't need an unemployed punk runnin' round livin' life like the pile of blues records in his trunk

Being rejected due to unemployment and a chaotic lifestyle.

It's a damn shame, but I don't think I'm gonna miss her

Expressing indifference towards the end of a relationship.

She wants the dog, the house, to call me mister

Describing the ex-partner's desires for a traditional life.

Ironically now she calls me an asshole

Ironically being called names despite the ex-partner's desires.

Call me at her job from the craft store

Receiving calls at work highlighting personal issues.

Told me that I'm dealin' with a disease

Being informed about dealing with personal problems.

I don't wanna succeed

Rejecting the idea of success and assistance.

Anybody that's ever tried to assist me gets it

Expressing resistance to help from others.

I've become a product of the slump

Becoming a reflection of challenging circumstances.

Pig-headed stubborn ass loser of the month, yeah

Labeling oneself as a stubborn loser.

Lost cause on a castle of his junk

Accepting defeat in the midst of chaos.

Tryin' to sweep a mountain of fuck ups under the rug

Trying to hide past mistakes and failures.

Man I get it, all of this has pushed me to the limit

Acknowledging that challenges have pushed one to the limit.

So now I'm gonna drink until I'm spinnin'

Deciding to cope with challenges by drinking excessively.

It's gonna be a long one

Anticipating a prolonged period of drinking to cope with difficulties.


I'm gonna be up all night

Expecting to stay awake throughout the night.

It's gonna be a long one, yeah (x2)

Reiterating the expectation of a long and challenging night.

I'm gonna be up all night

Emphasizing the anticipation of staying awake all night.

It's gonna be a long yeah, a long one yeah, a long long long long one

Repeating the idea of a prolonged and challenging experience.

It's gonna be a long one, ay, It's gonna be a long one, oh

Reiterating the expectation of a challenging and lonely journey.

Drinkin' til the sun comes up, and I said

Drinking until sunrise as a way to cope with difficulties.

It's gonna be a lone one, ay, It's gonna be a long one

Emphasizing the expectation of a solitary journey.

(So grab a couple of brews and come on now)
