The Who - However Much I Booze

I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown

It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie

I just bring them down

I claim promise to exaggeration

But the truth lies in my frustration

The children of the night, they all pass me by

Have to drench myself in brandy

In sleep I'll hide

But however much I booze

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

I don't care what you say, boy

There ain't no way out

I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibility

All the problems that screw me up really down to pin on me

My ego will just confuse me

Some day it's going to up and use me

Dish me out another tailor made compliment

Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent

And however much I squirm

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

I don't care what you say, boy

There ain't no way out

Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!

Then the night comes down like a cell door closing

Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene

While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating

Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me

And on at me, and I don't care what you say

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

Now the walls are all clawed and scratched

Like by some soul in sin

In the morning I humbly detach myself

I take no blame

I just can't face my failure

I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor

You at home can easily decide what's right

By glancing very briefly at the songs I write

But it don't help me that you know

This ain't no way out

Won't somebody tell me?

I don't care what you say, boy

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

Give me the key, lock it away

There ain't

There ain't

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out</td><
