Pour Decisions - The Real McKenzies

i’m living up in Canada, and i’m Canadian

Scottish Canadian with opportunity

i could have been a manager of a brewery

making beer for everyone but most of all for me my father was a soda jerk, my mom an office clerk

but neither one of those was good enough for me i could have moved into the hill, and ran a few stills

and made a fortune selling hooch beyond the law

pour decisions, a punk musician just ain’t as cute at 53

i used to be a lumberjack, and i’m ok with that

i wore suspenders, little panties, and a bra

i used to be a socialist, a sort of communist

now i’m a pessimist and i don’t care at all

i could have been a minister, a holy predator

a man of faith you really wouldn’t want to meet

perhaps a Scientologist, just as a hobbyist

and start a cult that’s turning people into sheep

pour decisions, a punk musician just ain’t as cute at 53

i have forsaken money makin'

yeah, you still wish you were me
