About S.O.B.

Rateliff has said the song is about drinking one's life away after a break-up, and that the lyrics are based on his personal experience with delirium tremens during alcohol withdrawal. He also described it as a "joke song" and said that originally his band didn't plan to record it, but due to positive reception, did so and released it as a single. The music video was released on July 15, 2015. It was directed and edited by Greg Barnes, and produced by Melissa Giles. .

S.O.B. Lyrics

[00:17.03] I'm gonna need someone to help me
[00:21.58] I'm gonna need somebody's hand
[00:25.58] I'm gonna need someone to hold me down
[00:30.06] I'm gonna need someone to care
[00:34.53] I'm gonna writhe and shake my body
[00:38.53] I'll start pulling out my hair
[00:43.14] I'm gonna cover myself with the ashes of you
[00:47.47] And nobody's gonna give a damn
[00:52.05] Son of a bitch, give me a drink
[00:56.09] One more night, this can't be me
[01:00.78] Son of a bitch, if I can't get clean
[01:04.93] I'm gonna drink my life away
[01:09.25]
[01:26.56] Now for 17 years I've been throwing them back
[01:31.50] 17 more will bury me
[01:35.57] Can somebody please just tie me down?
[01:39.98] Or somebody give me a goddamn drink
[01:44.11] Son of a bitch, give me a drink
[01:48.57] One more night, this can't be me
[01:52.90] Son of a bitch, if I can't get clean
[01:57.15] I'm gonna drink my life away
[01:59.84] Hey, yeah
[02:02.51]
[02:19.26] My heart was breaking, hands are shaking
[02:24.07] Bugs are crawling all over me
[02:28.17] My heart was breaking, hands are shaking
[02:32.54] Bugs are crawling all over me
[02:36.48] My heart was breaking, hands are shaking
[02:41.47] Bugs are crawling all over me
[02:45.68] My heart was aching, hands are shaking
[02:50.33] Bugs are crawling all over me
[02:54.03] Son of a bitch, give me a drink
[02:58.48] One more night, this can't be me
[03:02.86] Son of a bitch, if I can't get clean
[03:07.32] I'm gonna drink my life away
[03:11.37] Son of a bitch, give me a drink
[03:16.02] Son of a bitch, this can't be me
[03:20.17] Son of a bitch, if I can't get clean
[03:24.40] I'm gonna drink my life away
[03:27.97] Yeah, ah
[03:29.93]
