However Much I Booze Lyrics

However Much I Booze

(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 f**ked 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
