lyrics

It’s only twelve steps,
From here to the door,
Then to the tool shed,
Is another thirty-two more,
There’s a box of old tools,
That I don’t use anymore,
I find a rusty pair of pliers,
This time it’s “once and for all”,

I need my anaesthetic,
My magical cure-all,
My hidden, secret elixir,
Amongst the motor oil,

Copper taste in my mouth,
I look for the mirror,
I’m a goofy, gappy fucker,
Homemade MacGyver Hero,

I need my anaesthetic,
My magical cure-all,
My hidden, secret elixir,
To face the world at all,

A bottle in the hand is always worth two in the bush,
And I don’t have a problem- a disposition at a push,
And I don’t need a dentist when I’ve got what I got,
Cause I’m the guy who always has the right tool for the job,
I don’t feel I need to give myself up to a higher power,
The only time I call for God is when he’s making shit turn sour,
And I don’t need my daughter’s love to feel like a fucking human,
