"Grain Of Salt" lyrics

Inflation keeps inflatin'
Good hearts just keep on breakin'
And that grapevine keeps on stainin'
My name and my reputation
News channels keep on fightin'
When I'm fishin', they ain't bitin'
I'm gettin' sick of midtown cryin'
Why give a damn when I can

Take it with a grain of salt, brush it off
Glass half-full with grain alcohol
Turnin' this hell-of-a-day upside
Down, flip it 'round to a hell of a night
It's all wrong, but it's alright
And rock-bottom shelf is better on ice
If somethin' made you bitter, baby, I feel ya
Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila

The grass over here is greener
When the cover band's playin' heaters
And my remedy is cheaper
If you're goin' through it, I'll show you how to do it

Take it with a grain of salt, brush it off
Glass half-full with grain alcohol
Turnin' this hell-of-a-day upside
Down, flip it 'round to a hell of a night
It's all wrong, but it's alright
And rock-bottom shelf is better on ice
If somethin' made you bitter, baby, I feel ya
Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila

Yeah, a shot of tequila

Why put salt in the wound
And why let it kill my mood when I can

Take it with a grain of salt, brush it off
Glass half-full with grain alcohol
Turnin' this hell-of-a-day upside
Down, flip it 'round to a hell of a night
It's all wrong, but it's alright
And rock-bottom shelf is better on ice
If somethin' made you bitter, baby, I feel ya
Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila

Yeah, take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila
