I got home this evening, dropped a Riedel Sommelier on the floor,
Yes, I got home this evening, dropped a Riedel Sommelier on the floor,
I was reaching for a cheap glass and now I got my good one no more.

Prepping for supper, dropped a Riedel Sommelier on the floor,
Yes, I was prepping for supper, dropped a Riedel Sommelier on the floor,
My kitchen cab'net got two spots where it only had one before.

It flew into a million pieces, fine as cellophane,
Yes, it made a million billion pieces, just as fine as Scotch cellophane,
A fucking mess to pickup even with a Dyson Hurricane.

It's a C-note to replace it, take my Franklins away,
Yes, it's a goddamend C-note to replace it, takin' all my Franklins away,
But maybe my baby and me gonna drink from Zalto today.
 
They done takin' my wine and gone --
You've chapitalized 'em,
And you've put 'em in heavy bottles,
And you've mixed 'em up with oak,
And you fixed 'em,
So they don't taste like me.
Yep, they done takin' my wine and gone.

TOTALLY not the same thing. The narrator in Don't Think Twice, it's All Right is the one that been done wrong. The narrator of Freebird is clearly a dickhead. Compare:

"I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind"

"But please don't take it so badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame"
