Drunk or Dead- The New Amsterdams

"Live to wreck another day"

I got pretty drunk last night....and (don't make fun of me) it was my first time being drunk.  I have been tipsy before but never drunk.  I have some medical conditions that make getting drunk a little dangerous if done improperly.  So, in other words, this won't happen a lot.  But, hey, I was a college kid at a frat party.  Sue me.

 I have just recently discovered this song.  It is pretty good.  I like the acoustic guitar and the fact that they have correctly introduced brass band without being tacky.  The New Amsterdams kind of remind me of a band that would be huge in the 90s. That whole Gin Blossoms/ Wallflowers thing going on.  PLUS they are from my sister state, Kansas, so they're pretty cool in my book. 

Little did I know it then
The pictures on the heads of pins
Be easier than living is
Easier to watch you die

Lost what little luck was left
It's not enough to pay the rent
Not enough to force repentance
Not enough to make you pray

And don't tell me about the sins of man
I've felt the sting of God's right hand

I find him after school in bed
And don't know if he's drunk or dead
A slow but steady breath means
Live to wreck another day

It's terrible to cross my mind
That I should do him in this time
And I could find a better life
Become a burden on the state

You can't run when it's all you know
You'll just have to wait to go

And you can't hurt me cause I've been true
Your horrid life caught up to you

But I got bruises that you can't see
If there's a god, take him from me

Couldn't find a video for this song. SO SORRY
