Song | Self Destructive Zones |
Artist | Drive-By Truckers |
Album | Brighter Than Creation's Dark |
作曲 : Cooley, Drive-By Truckers | |
It was 1990 give or take | |
I don't remember | |
When the news of revolution hit the air | |
The girls hadn't even started taking down our posters | |
When the boys started cutting off their hair | |
The radio stations all decided angst was finally old enough | |
It ought to have a proper home | |
Dead fat or rich nobody's left to bitch | |
About the goings' on in self destructive zones | |
The night the practice room caught fire | |
There were rumors of a dragon headed straight for | |
Muscle Shoals "Stoner tries to save an amplifier" | |
And it's like the dragon's side of the story is never told | |
When the dream and the man and the girls hang around long enough | |
To make you think it's coming true, | |
It's easier to let it all die a fairy tale, | |
Than admit that something bigger is passing through | |
The hippies rode a wave putting smiles on faces, | |
That the devil wouldn't even put a shoe | |
Caught between a generation dying from its habits, | |
And another thinking rock and roll was new | |
Till the pawn shops were packed like a backstage party, | |
Hanging full of pointy ugly cheap guitars | |
And the young'uns all turned to karaoke, | |
Hanging all their wishes upon disregarded stars | |
My Grandaddy's shotgun is locked in a closet | |
And it never shot a thing that could have lived | |
An old man decided that you couldn't choose your poison | |
Till you're nearly old enough to vote for him | |
They turned what was into something so disgusting | |
Even wild dogs would disregard the bones | |
Dead fat or rich nobody's left to bitch | |
About the goings' on in self destructive zones |
