If you really want to rip up your mind
If you want to take the lid off your life
If you want to reach on down in the sump
Take the last dregs off the camel's back hump

And the wolves are howling right at your door
And the vultures want to tear off some more
And your flesh is burning right off your bones
Your children kick you out of your home

If you really want to tear up your mind
If you really want to get yourself blind
Might as well get juiced

Might as well get juiced


Hey mama, what's this crazy game of sevens, eights and nines?
I can't keep up with you baby
I'm going to give you such a piece of my mind
When I get around to it

Cause, honey, I'm abused
Might as well get juiced
Yeah

If you...

If you really want to melt down your mind
Crank it up to straight double time
If you really want to have you some fun
Spit right down on everyone

If you've got the strength to scream out Hell why?
The wheel of life is passing you by
You might as well get juiced

Might as well get juiced


Some people like to get high on love
Buss it off with alcohol
Give me a little taste of those fumes, yeah
I need a little boost because
The sweet things in life
How am I going to survive?

I might as well get juiced

Might as well get juiced

I might as well get juiced

Just a little bit confused

All right

All right

Mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm

Mm mm mm, mm mm, mm mm mm mm
Mmm...
Mm mm mm...

Mm mm mm...

I wrote the song with all these keyboard sounds. That's how it was written, with all this noise going on. Nnnnnnnn. So I had great fun doing that.
