It's not what you thought   when you first began it   You got, what you want   now you can hardly stand it though   well now you know      It's not going to stop   It's not going to stop   It's not going to stop    Til you wise up      You're sure, there's a cure   and you have finally found it   You think, one drink   will shrink you to your underground   and living down      It's not going to stop   It's not going to stop   It's not going to stop    Til you wise up      Prepare a list for what you need   before you sign away the deed      Cause it's not going to stop   It's not going to stop   It's not going to stop   Til you wise up      No, it's not going to stop   Til you wise up   No, it's not going to stop   So just give up
