Sky grew black and, like an engine humming, I could tell it was my time,
I could hear the sound of my heart beat thumping, and it echoes in my mind,
Just like the prophet spoke: babe, it's not a joke, don't take another sip of wine,
Better leave that bottle 'cause it's coming full throttle, gonna mess with your mind.

Under the influence, yeah,
Killing the innocent, no,
Under the influence, yeah,
Killing the innocent, no.

See the eyes of the innocent cause me embarrassment - will I make it out alive'
I can beg, I can plead, and I can watch you bleed - you know I'm not afraid to die,
Just like the prophet spoke: babe, it's not a joke, don't take another sip of wine,
Better leave that bottle 'cause it's coming full throttle, gonna mess with your mind.

Under the influence, yeah,
Killing the innocent, no,
Under the influence, yeah,
Killing the innocent, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Don't be deceived by what you might see; it gets worse for me every day,
I could tell you things that you might not believe; the highway shows me the way,
Steer to the left and I steer to the right, hear their fatal screams,
Never drink more than I really, really need; it's always worse than it seems.

Under the influence, yeah,
Killing the innocent, no,
Under the influence, yeah,
Killing the innocent, no.

Under the influence,
Under the influence.
