Kimya Dawson - The Beer Lyrics






The beer I had for breakfast was a bottle of mad dog
And my 20/20 vision was fifty percent off
You said punch-buggy red and punched me right in my left eye
I said don't you mean pediddle? and I lit his house on fire
He came home on acid I was holding his shotgun
I was dressed like tina turner in beyond thunder dome
He said don't shoot, I said I won't I love you you're my friend
I handed him my wig and shot myself in the head
Then I stuffed a box of tissues in the hole in my skull
I got in my mazda and I drove to the mall
I got a big johnson shirt and some silicone tits
When I pulled out the tissues they were covered with shit
And the beer I had for breakfast was a box of cheap white wine
And the boom box on my shoulder was a box of clementines
I ate every single one without noticing the mold
You said you're gross my darling, I said no I'm rock and roll
Even though I'd never ever been in a band
I got cool as black ice tattooed on my hand
And the christians gave me comic books as if I would be scared
Of burning in hell well I was already there
And the beer I had for breakfast silver bullet in the brain
And the beer I had for lunch was a bottle of night train
And the beer I had for dinner was my crazy neighbor's pills
We had to sit down on skateboards jut to make it down the hill
Then I peed my pants and you stole the groom's cigar
And some old man made me watch him masturbate locked in his car
When I got back to the apartment you were face down on the floor
You said don't go to bed yet let's go get a 64
And the beer I had had for breakfast was a pint of jim beam
And a fifth of peach schnapps and some warm sunny d
And you said bottoms up just as I bottomed out
I tried to scream fuck you but blood was pouring out my mouth
Evan dando never planned on telling you the truth
And your leonardo i.d. card is your fountain of youth
You can be a teenager for your whole fucking life
Just find some pretty sucker and make that bitch your wife
I guess by now you all know my friends danny broke his neck
He was driving home from sirens when he got into a wreck
First I cried for him and then I cried for me
Haunted by the ghost of the girl I used to be
But the rocks with holes are warm in my hands
And I buried my toes in the hot hot sand
And the silver pink pony kisses me and says
You've come a long, long way and you deserve to be really happy

  1. C.... B....

    2020 anyone?

  2. E.... d....

    0:06
    sponge

    E.... d....

    heh heh

  3. H.... R....

    My 20s in a song

  4. D.... D....

    This is the absolute greatest song I have ever heard in my life.

  5. G.... G....

    My biggest fear. I wanna live the American dream, but will I make it? Or will I live like this?

  6. u.... d....

    This reminds me of this one month I had many, many years ago

  7. H.... J....

    I'm an alcoholic and this song is great to drink to.

  8. M.... P....

    Spelled Melissa Wrong!

  9. S.... S....

    i play this song every time i have beer for breakfast

  10. J.... B....

    I keep showing this song to people and mist hate it hahah. 2019 anyone?

  11. N.... 9....

    This song is so dark because it sarcastically implies Happy endings aren't real and there is no real reward for surviving. Kimya Dawson is an amazing Lyricist

  12. k.... b....

    Beathfly spoken

  13. g.... b....

    this song always gets me crying like a baby, its just something i relate to so much

  14. E.... L....

    This song is incredibly sad, reminds me of 2008....But more importantly it reminds me of my mindset in 2008. A part of me wonders if some of these lyrics are unapologetic descriptions of actual events. For you see, whenever you are going through hell, it is really easy to be brazenly candid about lived events. You recount them exactly as they happened. The more outlandish these events seem, the better. Your reality is so crazy that is unbelievable to most. You speak the truth and everyone hears an allegory. A perfect disguise put in plain view. There are just too many specifics in this song for me to pass them off as clever lyrics...I know...I know what this is. And for those out there who can relate to this song....you know exactly what I am talking about.

  15. R.... S....

    Yep, still a good song.

  16. M.... h....

    This has some of the deepest and the most hilarious lyrics ever

  17. g.... m....

    I'm sure lots of people say this but i have never found a song that I can relate to more than this one. particularly "haunted by the ghost of the girl I used to be". I'm grateful to kimya Dawson for writing such honest music :)

  18. C.... ....

    Quirky indie girls think this is so deep

  19. f.... ....

    juno has a great soundtrack ✨😤🌟

  20. K.... ....

    i know the girl who sings this. she's literally one of the coolest and nicest moms ive ever met. me and her son are really good friends. i just want to know what's happened to her that caused her to write music like this

    K.... ....

    Kiva i think Kimya has a daughter. If i were to guess id say its either she was abused as a child or neglected by her parents. These two things are the major cause of depression in adults

  21. s.... ....

    this reminds me of watching children of the corn and napoleon dynamite with my family and it makes me cry because im feeling nostalgic

  22. M.... L....

    this really made my morning.

  23. w.... :....

    Dreams are fun, I don't want to wake up - those weirdos in the mall fountain

  24. R.... R....

    Cool as black ice👍

    The beer I had for breakfast was a bottle of Mad Dog
    And my 20/20 vision was 50 percent off
    He said “Punch buggy red” and punched me right in my left eye
    I said “Don’t you mean padiddle?” and I lit his house on fire
    He came home on acid. I was holding his shotgun
    I was dressed like Tina Turner in "Beyond Thunderdome."
    He said “Don’t shoot.” I said, “I won’t. I love you, you’re my friend.”
    I handed him my wig and shot myself in the head
    Then I stuffed a box of tissues in the hole in my skull
    I got in my Mazda, and I drove to the mall

    You said, “You’re gross, my darling.” I said “No, I’m rock ‘n’ roll.”
    Even though I’d never ever been in a band
    I got “Kool As Black Ice” tattooed on my hand
    And the Christians gave me comic books, as if I would be scared
    Of burning in Hell while I was already there

    And the beer I had for breakfast, Silver Bullet in the brain
    And the beer I had for lunch was a bottle of Night Train
    And the beer I had for dinner was my crazy neighbor’s pills
    We had to sit down on skateboards just to make it down the hill
    Then I peed my pants and you stole the groom’s cigar
    And some old man made me watch him masturbate locked in his car
    When I got back to the apartment you were face-down on the floor
    You said “Don’t go to bed yet. Let’s go get a 64.”
    And a fifth of peach schnapps and some warm Sunny D
    And you said “Bottoms up!” just as I bottomed out
    I tried to scream “fuck you” but blood was pouring out my mouth
    Evan Dando never planned on telling you the truth
    And your Leonardo I.D. card is your fountain of youth
    You can be a teenager for your whole fucking life:
    Just find some pretty sucker and make that bitch your wife

    I guess by now you all known my friend Danny broke his neck
    He was driving home from Sirens and he got into a wreck
    First I cried for him, then I cried for me
    Haunted by the ghost of the girl I used to be
    But the rocks with holes are warm in my hands

    And the silver-pink pony kisses me and
    Says “You’ve come a long, long way and you deserve to be really happy.”

  26. M.... Y....

    The first time I heard this song I was ten

  27. C.... V....

    I won't I love you your my friend.

  28. L.... L....

    This song will always make me emotional it's beautiful

  29. g.... a....

    I love this song too much .

  30. J.... L....

    I shocked myself when I started bawling like 30 seconds into the video, I tried to catch as much as the lyrics and by the end of it I kinda knew what it was. I wish you all guys a good day/night.

  31. K.... P....

    What the litteral fuck

  32. L.... 7....

    Scared of burning in hell? Well I was already ther! Great line, most of us realise this, but still don't change. It's hard to explain to others, I barely understand it myself...

  33. L.... 7....

    He came home on acid, I was holding his shotgun. I was dressed like Tina Turner in Beyond Thunderdome. Average saturday night then?...

  34. R.... G....

    Put on captions and things brighten up

    R.... G....

    I crap in my pasta hahaha haaha

  35. P.... D....

    Beautifully sad

  36. C.... B....

    WOW this smacked me right in the feels

  37. �.... �....

    I love how she refers to the Bible as a comic book. She’s such a savage, we Stan her.

  38. x.... ....

    The only reason why we can feel happiness is because we can also feel sadness.....

  81. r.... ....

    fucking beautiful. thank you so much for sharing this.

  82. A.... A....

    someone did a map and I like the map better than this. (my opinion) this is terrible compared to the map. the map has amazingly drawn wolves murdering each other and themselves and this just has stick people lagging as they move

    A.... A....

    That's the art of it though. Simple, but tells a story.

    A.... A....

    Ah

    Well I still like the map better.

    A.... A....

    I don't understand why you feel the need to comment? .-.

    A.... A....

    @ACorgiInHooman'sClothing because the comment section is for opinions, and that's my opinion.

  83. o.... l....

    this song is so fucking sad

    o.... l....

    olive lavender I don't get what it's about. Ik it's about alcoholism but I don't understand the story

    o.... l....

    i think it's a bit more personal so you have to understand it the way you want to

  84. M.... H....

    videos like these should let you like it more than once.

  85. B.... u....

    Great Song, great Video!

  86. N.... R....

    Thanks for this video <3

  87. B.... H....
