(Inspired by the town drunk. Take it easy on me, I'm new at this!)
"Earl"
Earl is a man who sleeps all day
Living his life in a vicarious way
Always keepin’ his booze by his side
When the law shows up, he knows to hide
Sittin' on a curb in his worn-out boots
This is the life Earl decided to choose
Made his home beneath an overpass
After his wife and kids kicked him out on his ass
He lives to drink, and drinks to live
Now Earl’s got nothing left to give
He gave up his wife, kids, job, and house
For the vile drink he now pours in his mouth
You’ll find Earl in the gutter on a Saturday night
In a pool of his vomit, it’s a saddening sight
Lookin’ through dumpsters to find some food
That’s Earl for ya, one hell-of-a dude
Collecting cans at the side of the road
He cashes in his meager load
Wasting his dough on wine and gin
It’s a selfish world Earl now lives in
Fuck mankind, fuck the world
Fuck all morals, my name is Earl
