However Much I Booze Lyrics

 (Townshend)
 
 I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown
 It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie; I just bring them down
 I claim promise to exaggeration
 But the truth lies in my frustration
 The children of the night, they all pass me by
 Have to drench myself in brandy
 In sleep I'll hide
 But however much I booze
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
 I don't care what you say, boy
 There ain't no way out
 
 I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibility
 All the problems that screw me up really down to pin on me
 My ego will just confuse me
 Some day it's going to up and use me
 Dish me out ano
Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent
 And however much I squirm
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
 I don't care what you say, boy
 There ain't no way out
 
 Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!
 
 Then the night comes down like a cell door closing
 Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene
 While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating
 Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me
 And on at me, and I don't care what you say
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
 
 Now the walls are all clawed and scratched
 Like by some soul in sin
 In the morning I humbly detach myself
 I take no blame
 I just can't face my failure
 I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor
 You at home can easily decide what's right
 By glancing very briefly at the songs I write
 But it don't help me that you know
 This ain't no way out
 Won't somebody tell me?
 I don't care what you say, boy
 There ain't no way out
 
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
 
 Give me the key, lock it away
 
 There ain't
 There ain't
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
 There ain't no way out
