Lost lyrics........

[ozraven]

Given the amount of lyrical and generally musically inclined threads here this should be place to ask.....

I spent 2 hours today trying to find the lyrics to a song sung (maybe written) by Mac Davis (and possibly others) called "Beer Drinking Songs" or "The Beer Drinkin' Song"

It starts off with:

Why don't we all just get stoned, get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.......................



It has a lyric that is relevant to the world of today despite being over 20 years old........

anyone help??

Thanks. Yes, that's me.

I am sure he sang it, I have it as an MP3

The next line is...........

Between Breznev and Bagen, Khomenhi and Reagan we might as well all just get stoned.......

(Spelling mistakes all mine.......)

You are a babe, why haven't you used it b4?

Well, thanks anyway

I listened and typed.......... still can't get one part of a line....

Anyway, I think it shows that some 20 years on, nothing has really changed, a few different names, and issues, but there is a lot the same.........

What do you reckon?


Why don't we all just get stoned, get drunk and sing beer drinking songs

Between Brezhnev and Began, Khomeini and Reagan we might as well all just get stoned

You can’t even look at the TV these days without getting scared half to death

The eyewitness news leaves me used and abused, and I found myself gasping for death.

There’s strikes and inflation, strife between nations, the worlds in a hell of a mess

And no matter who’s hurtin’, there’s one thing for cert ain, the whole world will blame the U.S.

Why don't we all just get stoned, get drunk and sing beer drinking songs

Between Brezhnev and Began, Khomeini and Reagan we might as well all just get stoned

The Russians don’t like us and we don’t like them, the Israelis hate the Arabs

Iran and Iraq are on each others back, and el Salvador’s still up for grabs

I wish they’d take Idi Amin and Khomeini and Khaddafi and all of the rest tie em all to a chair, and make them stare at Yasser Arafat till he uglied the whole bunch to death.

Why don't we all just get stoned, get drunk and sing beer drinking songs

Between Brezhnev and Began, Khomeini and Reagan we might as well all just get stoned

What about cleaning up our own backyard folks,

There’s mass unemployment and crime in the streets, inflation gets worse every day

There taxing us maximum and (insert words i cant get herel) I gave most my pay check away
Social security has become an obscurity, Lord if the commies don’t take us, Reaganomics will break us, we aint got a chance either way…..

Why don't we all just get stoned, get drunk and sing beer drinking songs

Between Brezhnev and Began, Khomeini and Reagan we might as well all just get stoned



(Can you believe spell check says Reaganomics is a word????????)

Re: Well, thanks anyway
