[Verse 1]
My first sip made me gag
And I thought I was gonna blow beets
But I took another and pretty soon, brother
Sour mash started tasting sweet
Made me feel brave and strong
Bulletproof, like I could do no wrong
But I found out before too long what I should've known

[Chorus 1]
You can learn to love anything
Even a bird in a cage will sing a song
Even if it's wrong, even if it kills you in the end
You can learn to love anything
Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
Pick your poison, poison
Pick your poison

[Verse 2]
Ruby lips hid a razor tongue
And a heart blue as glacier ice
I was warned, but I was willing
To ignore everybody's advice
The more I gave, the more she took
She walked away without a second look
Just one more page from that great big book on how
[Chorus 2]
You can learn to love anything
Even a bird in a cage will sing a song
Even if it's wrong, even if it kills you in the end
You can learn to love anything
Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
You can learn to love anything
A prison wall, a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
Pick your poison, poison (You can learn)
Pick your poison

[Outro]
Pick your poison (You can learn)
Pick your poison
Poison, poison
Pick your poison
Pick your poison
