It's Only Alcohol

As soon as I took the drink away, his eyes began to roam
His chin began to tremble and his mouth began to foam
He started jerking violently, his lips were turning blue
I had to give him the whiskey back

He says it's only alcohol, and you...
I wish somebody took the time to warn him
That his face would turn all bloated
He says it's only alcohol

What started only on a weekend soon turned to every day
His hands become unsteady, and his composure fell away
He could have been a doctor, hell he could have been a monkey
He could have been most anything, but now he's probably drunk

He says it's only alcohol, and you can't call that a drug
I wish somebody... to warn him
That his face would turn all bloated and his guts... be diseased
He says it's only alcohol
He says it's only al... co... hol
It's only alcohol
