Spencer's Song Lyrics Of The Day 01-07-01 (The first of the year...)
This one's for all the punks, Past, Present, and Future. Sometimes I terribly miss my old punk rock days :( (If you can't tell, I'm in a horribly reminisant mood today.)
Roots Radical <---- To Download, Make with the clickin'
-Rancid
Took the 60 bus out of downtown Cambell
Ben Zandito he was on there he was waitin' for me
All the punk rockers and the moon stompers
are out on the corners
Where they sparing for change
I started thinkin'
you know I started drinkin'
You know I don't remember too much of that day
Somethin' struck me funny when we ran out of money
Where do you go now when your only 15
With the music execution
and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me
and it goes
Give 'em the boot,
the roots the radicals
Give 'em the boot,
you know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot,
the roots,
the reggae on my stereo
The radio was playin'
Desmon Dekker was singin'
on the 49 bus
As we climb up the hill
Nothin' incoming but the reggae drummin'
And we all come from unloving homes
I say "why even bother"
I pick up the bottle
Mr. bus driver please let these people on
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothin' wrong
With the music execution
and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me
and it goes
Give 'em the boot,
the roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot,
you know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot,
the roots,
the reggae on my stereo
Took the 60 bus out of downtown Cambell
Ben Zandito he was on there he was waitin' for me
All the punk rockers
and the moon stompers
are out on the corners
Where they sparing for change
There's a really old plan,
they keep stuck on singing
And the 49 bus climbed up on the hill
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothin' wrong
With the music execution
and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me and it goes
Give 'em the boot,
the roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot,
you know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot,
the roots,
the reggae on my stereo

you know what spencer? after reading the cure post i realise how much i like bluelighters once again...
this was (and is) perhaps one of my favourite songs ever! of course, now that i'm a hardcore junglists nu-skool nrg lemon-flavoured house head elitist, i can't listen to this any more. but i did truly love it!!!!
here's to rancid - one more quote which made so much sense when i got this album:
'i get on the bus and
i ain't gotta no money
driver said that ain't enough man
i said... WHAT THE FUCK YOU TALKING BOUT!!!'
hooray for reminiscing!
peace
 
me and my roommate had a little "old school moment" the other night to this song.
:D
thank you for posting it...
