1979 - Smashing Pumpking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EWw-gsx_Io
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure wed never see an end to it all
And I dont even care to shake these zipper blues
And we dont know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
Theyre not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we dont even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought wed go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we dont care to shake these zipper blues
And we dont know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see theres no one around

Two boys on a playground (shrub and Ahmadinejad)
Tryin to push each other down
See the crowd gather round
Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd

Black gold in a white plight
Wont you fill up the tank, lets go for a ride
I dont care bout no wheelchair
Ive got so much left to do with my life

Moving backwards through time
Never learn, never mind
That sides yours, this sides mine
Brother you aint my kind

Youre a black soldier, white fight
Wont you fill up the tank, lets go for a ride
Sure like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight?

Keeps the kids off the streets
Gives em something to do, something to eat
This spot was a playground
This flat land used to be a town

Black gold in a white plight
Wont you fill up the tank, lets go for a ride
Sure like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Black gold in a white plight
Wont you fill up the tank, lets go for a ride
I dont care bout no wheelchair
Ive got so much left to do with my life.

edited: better song :D
