Our favorite joints in town 
Close down at two, what can we do? 
Darkness... 
Walking drunk through empty streets 
We have nowhere to do 
'Cos there's no place where you can drink 
I think this situation stinks 
Hopeless... 
This law can't be the right way 
We want our beer night and day 

Open all night - closing time chock 
Can't take it no longer 
Fight for your right - whiskey and beer 
Straight into the morning 
Open all night - please! All night! 

The drinks are locked away 
The crowds are moving towards the place 
Where automatic Emma stands 
Thirsty... 
Dispensing beer and more 
A dream machine, a gift of God 
Empty... 
Out of luck, this evening sucks 
Those drinks we always need'em 
Let's fight for beverage freedom 

Now that the city's dead 
You can't get home without a car 
Subway 
Doesn't run past one o'clock 
You stagger home on foot 
The wrong direction mile for mile 
And getting sober all the while 
Panic... 
Don't want no more frustration 
Make this an all night nation 

Where can we hang out later? 
At home? They'd tear the place apart 
Chaos... 
Just one way: don't close the bars
