Bone Orchard - Why I Drink (Endless Ifs, Ands, or Buts) - 2023

Ⓒ Ⓟ Corcoran BMI 2023
Track from upcoming album, "Clinical Mayo". A commentary on 2023, if you will.
All instruments and vocals courtesy of M. Corcoran (the "last man standing"). P.S. In the interests of authenticity, I recorded the guitar solo drunk.🤣😬
Lyrics:
Endless sobriety has never been my cup of tea
While living in a society that survives on hypocrisy
Get me out of here, get me off this ledge,
To someplace sane, yeah someplace safe, just no more hiding in a hedge.
This place is crazy, yeah, this place is fucking nuts.
Where's the door? Can't bear no more
Endless ifs, ands, or buts.
Endless ifs, ands, or buts.
I've lived a life that's such a joke, always going up in smoke.
Cause I can't help but think out loud, about yelling fire in a crowd.
Yeah, I'm trouble 'cause I won't ever fit in.
But that's okay, I spend my days just buried deep in the clearance bin.
While contemplating that maybe it's me who's nuts.
Pour me one more while I explore
Endless ifs, ands, or buts.
Endless ifs, ands, or buts.
Drag queen story hour hiding in my shower
Demanding to know my pronouns.
While crowing like a rooster, "get a vaccine and a booster
Or we'll run your ass out of town".
Now I can't use my flask if I gotta wear a mask,
So I guess I'll just hide underground
While they kill Betsy Ross on orders from the "boss"
'Cause she's an insurrectionist..... An insurrectionist....
FLAG THIS!!!!!
Stoke my paranoia as they pour across the border,
Taking over my hometown.
Now I don't speak the language so I'm at a disadvantage
When ordering the next round.
So I gotta give more hugs and I gotta eat more bugs
To help protect the atmosphere
From endless train derailments. I use eggs to make my payments
'Cause freedom is a "dirty" word..... Such a dirty word.....
Been working on my apathy while on vacation from my sanity.
Where I hope to learn to levitate so I can rise above the hate.
And when I look down and witness everything collapse,
I'll float away to a better day and maybe to a better place perhaps.
While contemplating that maybe it's me who's nuts.
So, I'll pour one more while I ignore
Endless ifs, ands, or buts.
Endless ifs, ands, or buts.......
BTW, you can download this track for FREE at Bandcamp.com:

The sound quality is MUCH better on Bandcamp than the transistor AM radio sound here on UA-cam, there are no commercials if you stream it there (unlike here, where I am not paid for the commercialization of my music by UA-cam), and no one harasses you every 3 songs on a playlist to find out if you're "still listening?", which is a real drag to have to continuously respond to if you're busy doing something else while listening.
More importantly, I am apparently being punished by this platform for listening to my own music, by having large numbers of views being subtracted by YT as “punishment” for that the more I do so (despite having NOWHERE near the number of views to monetize my channel), yet every time I scroll past one of their ridiculous recommendations that they habitually make for me to watch, I find those items I had no interest in and DID NOT SELECT winding up in my watch history as views for those (ridiculous) suggestions. I can not wait for the day when RUMBLE gets its ease-of-use issues corrected and relegates this Nazi scam of a platform to the “woke” dustbin of history. That said, if you want a free download of this song, follow the Bandcamp link and just type in "0" when it asks you what you want to pay. If you join that site and want to STREAM it there, you would have to pay a $1 minimum for this track.
But I made downloading FREE for my music there.
