Hook / Chorus:

Everybody gets to pick their poison, baby

Life ain’t clean, and nothing’s chosen

You take the bitter with the sweet, that’s how it goes

Everybody gets to pick their poison, Lord, everybody knows 🎵

Verse 1

Wake up in the mornin’, coffee’s bitter, bread ain’t sweet

Traffic crawlin’ slow, man, it’s a beat you can’t beat

Dirty dishes, laundry piled high

Every little choice just makes you sigh

Friend talks too much, the other’s always late

Love’s a gamble, that’s the hand of fate

Work’s a grind, stress or the easy way

Pick your poison, baby, that’s life every day

Verse 2

Vote for the honest, dull but true

Or the flashy rascal, who’ll play you too

Taxes high, healthcare low

Every choice comes with a bitter blow

Leaders compromise, coalitions bend

War or peace, every move’s a trend

History’s heavy, lessons we pay

Everybody picks their poison, that’s life, that’s the way

Bridge

Ain’t no weakness in the choices we take

Every heartbreak, every risk we make

It’s the bitter sips that teach us the most

Pick your poison, baby, raise a toast

Hook / Chorus (repeat, slower, moody):

Everybody gets to pick their poison, baby

Life ain’t clean, and nothing’s chosen

You take the bitter with the sweet, that’s how it goes

Everybody gets to pick their poison, Lord, everybody knows 🎵Laugh at the bitter, dance through the pain

Every choice a storm, every loss a gain

Ain’t no perfect road, just roads we roam

Pick your poison, baby, make it your own
