Where have all the good drafts gone
Ones made with the best hops
I could use a Coors* Light please
But I'll take what you've got
Isn't there a barkeep that serves with lightning speed
Drinking late at the downtown bar
I dream of what I need

I need a beer, oh
I have the room for a beer that'll taste just right
It can't be too strong
And it can't be too flat
And it's got to be fresh from on site
I need a beer, oh
I'll try a brand name beer like the ones in sight
Budweiser* is pure
Coors* leaves you with room
And Fosters* is larger than life, larger than life

After all the bars close
In my delusional mind I see
A brewery just beyond my reach
An abandoned beer truck for me
Racing there to chunder and dropping to my feet
Suddenly a cop comes and puts me in his backseat

I need a lawyer
Somebody good who can get me off
He can't make me seem wrong
He can't just wanna chat
And make me win just cause I'm white
I'll tell the judge, oh
Next time I'll call the closest taxi in sight
But you know after court
Guess what I'm going to do
I'm going to go partying tonight

I need a beer, oh
I have the room for a beer that'll taste just right
It can't be too strong
And it can't be too flat
And it's got to be fresh from on site
I need a beer, oh
I'll try a brand name beer like the ones in sight
Budweiser* is pure
Coors* leaves you with room
And Fosters* is larger than life, larger than life
