	The song is basically about a guy at a party who dislikes having to pretend to agree with his friend's (the host's?) racist friend. The racist friend is apparently drunk (He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking) and when the singer starts to leave, he begins to apologize for what he said.

	Actually the line, "Can't shake the devil's hand and say your only kidding," more likely means that you can't make racist statements and then later try to play them off as a joke.

	A couple corrections: Last line of first verse is "and your racist friend" (no "You") Mid line in second verse is "My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending"
