In the Bottle lyrics

See that black boy over there running scared?

His old man's in the bottle

He done quit 9 to 5, he drinks full time

Now he's living, huh, in the bottle

See that black boy over there running scared?

His old man's got a problem

And it's a bad one

He done pawned off damn near anything

His old woman's wedding ring for the bottle

And don't you think it's a crime?

Time after time after time livin' in a bottle

When people livin' in a bottle

Now listen to me

See that sister? She was fine

Before she started drinkin' wine from the bottle

She told me her old man committed a crime

He's doin' time

And now she's hangin' in the bottle

I seen her out there on the avenue

All by herself, she sure needs help from the bottle

I seen the preacher man tryin' to help her

She cursed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle

And don't you think it's a crime?

Time after time after time livin' in a bottle

When people livin' in a bottle

In the bottle

See that black boy over there running scared?

His old man's in the bottle

He done quit 9 to 5, he drinks full time

Now he's living, huh, in the bottle

See that black boy over there running scared?

His old man's got a problem

And it's a bad one

He done pawned off damn near anything

His old woman's wedding ring for the bottle

And don't you think it's a crime?

Time after time after time livin' in a bottle

When people livin' in a bottle

Now listen to me

And, and, and, and, and, and, and

And don't you think it's a crime?

(Don't you think it's a crime?)

Time after time after time livin' in a bottle

(Time after time)

When people livin' in a bottle

(When people livin' in a bottle)

And don't you think it's a crime?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Time after time after time livin' in a bottle

When people livin' in a bottle
