I know how to turn water into wine I'm fl ithy rich but I haven't a dime I'm luck in love by my girls' got a man Most of these things I can't understand I can take tragedy, loss and defeat Choke your bitterness until your blood turns sweet Hallelujah, I'm over joyed I'm drunk again and I'm unemployed Say hey mama ain't I still your boy Drunk again and I'm unemployed Singing la hey, it's gonna be ok People always ask me what it is that I do And very rarely do I ever tell them the truth I'm a consultant, a pilot, a thief or a cook Or I'm just about to publish my very fi rst book Sometimes I'm a hunter, sometimes I'm a clown Sometimes I'm a matador, who just moved to town Hallelujah, I'm over joyed I'm drunk again and I'm unemployed The things I've wanted I've just destroyed Drunk again and I'm unemployed Drunk again and I'm unemployed Singing la hey, it's gonna be ok I must admit that most times I get bored Cause the things I want I still can't afford People say AMichael you're very easily amused Ask if as a child I was somehow abused Call me a slacker, call me a waste I'm just a pauper with a prince's taste Hallelujah, I'm over joyed I'm drunk again and I'm unemployed Say hey mama ain't I still your boy Drunk again and I'm unemployed Singing la hey, it's gonna be ok
