This one's straight off the top shelf. Pour yourself a shot and drink to the demise of the 1%.

lyrics

Thousand dollar booze, thousand dollar booze,
All day long you're sipping on that thousand dollar booze,
Thousand dollar booze, you got thousand dollar booze,
All I got's a nickel and the Blues.

Some folks they drink whiskey, other folks drink wine
I don't know what you're drinking but it must be mighty fine
I got blisters on my fingers and holes in my shoes
You've got a cellar full of thousand dollar booze

Thousand dollar booze, thousand dollar booze,...

Some folks like a custom suit and some folks like the bling
I don't know if you're married but you wear a diamond ring
I used to have a c-note but I spent it on tattoos,
you've got a gold watch and thousand dollar blues

Thousand dollar booze, thousand dollar booze,...

Some folks drive a fancy car, and others fly a plane
I don't know where you come from but you didn't take the train
I got me a letter and it's probably bad news
You've got a Cadillac and thousand dollar booze

Thousand dollar booze, thousand dollar booze,...

Some folks like the country club, and others like the Met
If you've got friends in low places I haven't met 'em yet
I got no one to turn to and nothing left to lose
You've got bigger problems than that thousand dollar booze

Thousand dollar booze, thousand dollar booze,...

about

Painless Parker Brooklyn, New York

Born under a barstool and raised by a pack of wild koalas, Painless Parker plays a mixed bag of country laments, sea shanties, murder ballads and classic rockers, filtered through a grimy, whiskey-stained punk lens. He's fluent in two languages, and can cuss in at least seventeen. He enjoys rabble-rousing, shindigging, booze drinking and merrymaking. ... more
