(One, two, three, four)

When you slammed the door and made the call
And walked out on your wife
It was the best damn news I'd ever heard
And you'd taken back your life
For the first time in a long time
You had no doubt about it
And if you were asking my advice
Well, you're better off without it

Every paper in the general store
Had headlines much the same
The bank's in the red and religion's dead
And your taxes have been raised
If you turn your back on the five-dollar price tag
Don't need to know about it
They'll say you don't know nothing 'bout nothing
But you're better off without it

'Cause I know we're all blinded by the lack of clarity
So I'll stand up, kick and scream about it
You're better off without it

Well, the bar is shut and I've had enough
It's been fifteen pints I'm told
And I'm dribbling at the publican
Please, one more for the road
Bethany Sue at the end of the bar
Said that she would shout it
At least that's what my memory holds
But I was better off without it

'Cause I know we're all blinded by the lack of clarity
So I'll stand up, kick and scream about it
You're better off without it

Well, the suits of the game submitted my name
Said it's all part of the story
But the bronze that shines on the piece of pine
Doesn't bring me any glory
They said the beers are free, so prepare a speech
And I hate to say I doubt it
One thing I know, that if I stay at home
I'll be better off without it

'Cause I know we're all blinded by the lack of clarity
So wrap it up, get some friends around it
And I know that temptation is a sin for the weak
So I'll stand up, kick and scream about it
You're better off without it

You're better off without it
