Old man

A bottle of Jack Daniels
in his trembling hand
screaming ''screw you''
to all the people he can't stand

for the sunlight of the sky
for the laughter of the air
the unreal happiness
he can no longer care

Cause all the darkness of the world
broke his hopeless heart

In the bottom of the glass
in a cloud of cigars
he finds salvation
At old forgotten bars

for all the long gone youth
for all the things he dared
he sings quietly :
''Oh God...just let us be spared...''

Cause all the darkness of the world
broke his hopeless heart
