A Familiar Sequence of Events/Song Lyrics

There is a song released a while ago that tells a familiar story about drinking. It was by a group called the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Anyone who has battled a drinking problem can relate to the story of going to some run-down bar, or "dive," with the goal of getting wasted on cheap drinks. When the night is over, you once again are convinced you have an issue with alcohol (only to forget about your revelation the next day).

The people most familiar with this scenario are the ones who cannot remember how many times it has repeated itself in who knows how many bars, but one thing's for sure: the motive and outcome are always the same.

Here are the lyrics to "Another Drinking Song," by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones:

Gonna dive into a jive I've dove into before
Gonna haunt a haunt I've haunted
Like a million times or more
A familiar joint Where getting drunk's the only point
To frequent this place
With any frequency at all

Countin' on a remedy I've counted on before
Goin' with a cure that's never failed me
What you call the disease, I call the remedy
What you're callin' the cause,
I call the cure

Gonna sing a song, a song to you A song I've sung before
Belt out a ballad that I've belted out A million times or more
The words I'm gonna scream
And getting drunk's the central theme to the lyrics,
if you can Make the lyrics out at all

Countin' on a remedy I've counted on before
Goin' with a cure that's never failed me
What you call the disease, I call the remedy
What you're callin' the cause,
I call the cure

Just a devotion to a potion
Please no applause
A dedication to a medication - A crutch a cure a cause
What I've counted on to pick me up
Has knocked me to my knees
Before I hit the floor once more I'll call it the disease
