You shoulda seen 'em just after midnight |
|
Well they were down on their luck and still high from a street fight |
|
Told it like it wasn't really much of a big thing |
|
To be out on the tiles and barely breathing |
|
We were barely breathing |
|
Showing up at shows like you care about the scene still |
|
Where were you when the blood spilled? |
|
They almost killed me |
|
It got pretty sketchy |
|
We tried to push forward |
|
Now we're pointing at the scoreboard and it feels so amazing |
|
And the crowd's going crazy |
|
Summer '88 was all heat and intensity |
|
Saw the Youth Of Today at the 7th Street Entry |
|
There were skins in the pit, some of them tried to kill me |
|
Same club next summer, and now they're called Shelter |
|
And after the show I spoke with the singer |
|
And he tried to hand me a pamphlet about Hare Krishna |
|
I said 'You gotta be kidding' |
|
Who the hell is the blue guy? |
|
But then he said something special |
|
Using only his eyes |
|
The kids are all distracted |
|
No one wins at violent shows |
|
The kids are a distraction |
|
No one wins at violent shows |
