Some say it's easy
Like taking candy from a child
But still he'd hit the bottle
Like it was going out of style
He said he'd kicked the need
Holding a shot in his hand
But life's plain indifference
Too much for this man
Gotta give it up
He's hooked on the stuff
Fooling no one but yourself
As you cry wolf
Pours out another cup
Well, I've seen enough
Fooling no one but yourself
Cry wolf
Got a taste for the hard stuff
His self respect hits the ground
Too much trust in the bottle
But the bottle leads down
Lost cry of the wasted
That nobody heard
Alcohol obituary
But nobody cared
He's gotta give it up
He's hooked on the stuff
Fooling no one but yourself
As you cry wolf
Pours out another cup
Well, I've seen enough
Fooling no one but yourself
As you cry wolf
