Je bois

I drink systematically
To forget my wife's friends
I drink systematically
To forget all my damn problems
I drink any old booze
As long as it's twelve degrees five
I drink the worst of swills

It's disgusting, but it passes the time
Is life really that funny
Is life really that alive
I ask these two questions

Is life worth living
Is love worth being cheated on
I ask these two questions
To which no one answers

I drink systematically
To forget the next due date
I drink systematically
To forget that I'm not twenty anymore
I drink whenever I have free time
To get drunk, to not see my face anymore
I drink without enjoying it
To not tell myself it's time to end
