lyrics
Well of course
Lincoln is my number one man
When we walkin’ down the street
Giants kneel to shake his hand
When he’s shot he gets right back up
Drains the holes into three or four cups
You see him comin’ just shut the fuck up
Link clink, let’s have a drink
You got the first, now it’s back and forth I think
Your tab is big, don’t have enough
Think we’ll be paying a long time for all that top stuff
Now you know
Lincoln is one generous cat
He’d give you just about anything except that hat
Give you a hand, that one a smack
Give up the blood-soaked shirt from his back
Give you the hood from his pure white Cadillac
Link clink, let’s have a drink
I’ll get the next then back and forth I think
It’s not just you, it’s all of them
You cut ‘em off but they grow back as injured gentlemen
Hennessy for the man of sea
Down at table three who thinks it’s all free
Belvedere for the auctioneer
Who can drink in your fear like comped and canned beer
Patron for the one who owns
But he ain’t got the stones to spend his own bones
Irish Mist for the apologist with a fancy twist
He don’t pay to get pissed
Russian Jewel for the drunk mule for the white school
He even took the stool
Gold Malort for the chief of court
Who tried to support but seems he fell short
Ketel One for the chick in the sun with the flag on her blouse
She thinks it’s on the house
Cognac for the PR hack
Who will paint it black but duck before the check cracks
Look at me, I’m totally smashed
It was free, and it was a blast
No debt comin’, though I didn’t ask
But what do I care?
I got to enjoy it
Lincoln is my number one man
When we walkin’ down the street
Giants kneel to shake his hand
When he’s shot he gets right back up
Drains the holes into three or four cups
You see him comin’ just shut the fuck up
Link clink, let’s have a drink
You got the first, now it’s back and forth I think
Your tab is big, don’t have enough
Think we’ll be paying a long time for all that top stuff
Now you know
Lincoln is one generous cat
He’d give you just about anything except that hat
Give you a hand, that one a smack
Give up the blood-soaked shirt from his back
Give you the hood from his pure white Cadillac
Link clink, let’s have a drink
I’ll get the next then back and forth I think
It’s not just you, it’s all of them
You cut ‘em off but they grow back as injured gentlemen
Hennessy for the man of sea
Down at table three who thinks it’s all free
Belvedere for the auctioneer
Who can drink in your fear like comped and canned beer
Patron for the one who owns
But he ain’t got the stones to spend his own bones
Irish Mist for the apologist with a fancy twist
He don’t pay to get pissed
Russian Jewel for the drunk mule for the white school
He even took the stool
Gold Malort for the chief of court
Who tried to support but seems he fell short
Ketel One for the chick in the sun with the flag on her blouse

Look at me, I’m totally smashed
It was free, and it was a blast
No debt comin’, though I didn’t ask
