Текст песни Jordan B Peterson's Drinking Song - Akira The Don feat. Jordan Peterson

Better better better better better better better
Better better better than alcohol, man
Yeah, and the funny thing is if you're trying to stop drinking
You need something better than alcohol
And alcohol is pretty good
So you better find something a lot better, man
Estimable people do estimable things it's like
Yeah, well you wanna figure out
Something that you're doing with your life
That's worth not getting drunk and screwing up

You might say, well, why do people drink too much?
If you like alcohol, that's a stupid question
Why do people drink too much?
Well, 'cause it's great

So why stop? Well, you do stupid things when you're drunk
You hurt yourself, you... you compromise your health
It's really hard on the people around you
You tend to turn into a liar and it screws up your life
It's like yeah, but it's pretty fun
Yeah, well it is but
You need something better than that, and what's better isn't
Being straight and not making mistakes
It's like that's all prohibition in some sense, what's better is
No, you need an adventure, man

Alcohol (It's a drinking song)
It's an interesting drug (It's a drinking song)
Alcohol (And if you don't like drinking you can sing along)
It's a hell of a drug
Alcohol (And if you do like drinking, well it can't be wrong)
It's a great drug
But the problem is (Everybody loves a drinking song)
It's a great drug

No, you need an adventure, man
You need to get out there and have something to do
Something worth waking up for
That's the substitute for the addiction
Actually, the addiction is the substitute for that
If truth be known

Alcohol really is a good drug for coping with anxiety
It makes you more extroverted and enthusiastic
More full of positive emotion
And the second thing it does is reduce anxiety
It's a great drug
But the problem is well, it's a great drug
For the moment

Alcohol (It's a drinking song!)
It's an interesting drug (It's a drinking song)
Alcohol (And if you don't like drinking you can sing along)
It's a hell of a drug
Alcohol (And if you do like drinking, well it can't be wrong)
It's a great drug
But the problem is (Everybody loves a drinking song)
It's a great drug

Alcohol is an interesting drug
Because it actually doesn't make people stupid
People who are drunk will take far more risk
And you might say, well, that's because they're too stupid
To understand the risks, it's like, no, they're not
If you ask them about the risk when they're drunk
They can outline it perfectly
What it stops them from doing is caring about the risk

That's why you can drive around drunk at high speed in a car
Which is a really stupid thing to do
It's fun, you know, like so many things
It's like jumping of a cliff (I'm flying)
True, until the last 1/10 of a second
It's like then you're not flying, man

Alcohol (It's a drinking song)
It's an interesting drug (It's a drinking song)
Alcohol (And if you don't like drinking you can sing along)
It's a hell of a drug
Alcohol (And if you do like drinking, well it can't be wrong)
It's a great drug
But the problem is (Everybody loves a drinking song)
It's a great drug

Say!
Alcohol (It's a drinking song)
It's an interesting drug (It's a drinking song)
Alcohol (And if you don't like drinking you can sing along)
It's a hell of a drug
Alcohol (And if you do like drinking, well it can't be wrong)
It's a great drug
But the problem is (Everybody loves a drinking song)
There's consequences
