It's not going to stop.
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up.”

Song lyrics, Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture (1999)
Context: You're sure
There's a cure.
And you have finally found it.
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down.
But it's not going to stop.
It's not going to stop.
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up.
