Rancid - Junkie Man lyrics
[Rancid - Junkie Man lyrics]
Ah, turn it up
The common man doesn't suffer pain like this
Only the sort that has never been kissed
Let us adore our beautiful son
He's ridin' on the rivers of Babylon
Oh, burnin' up and shootin' up
And bring on the brightness
See the son of God is comin'
Up and I see a likeness
Internalize the lunacy, the misery is showin'
When you're brought up
You're caught up in a system that is goin'
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call
From you, you, you, you, you
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
What I, what I, what I, what do I desire?
Some parents' house is on fire
Oh, slowly the house gonna burn to the ground
The neighborhood will watch without a sound
Will someone be a witness, please
Tell me that he's crazy
But he's not and they know
That they can't get him, he's not crazy
Beat him, lock him, knock him
Take away his authority
Hit 'em, ship 'em, club 'em
Submitted conformity
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call
From you, you, you, you, you
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
My hand went blind
You were in the vein, clairvoyant
You were in the vein, clairvoyant
My hand went blind
I make love to my transistor, my transistor
And my transparency from the balcony
I looked out on the big field
On the big field
It opens like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves, out come the wolves
Their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
I stand on my head, watch it all go away
Burnin' up and shootin' up
And bring on the brightness
See the son of God is comin'
Up and there is a likeness
Internalize the lunacy
The misery is showin' when
You're brought up and caught up in
A system that is goin'
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call
From you, you, you, you, you
Junkie man tell me what your story is
Junkie man tell me what your story is
Junkie man tell me what your story is
Junkie man tell me what your story is
The common man doesn't suffer pain like this
Only the sort that has never been kissed
Let us adore our beautiful son
He's ridin' on the rivers of Babylon
Oh, burnin' up and shootin' up
And bring on the brightness
See the son of God is comin'
Up and I see a likeness
Internalize the lunacy, the misery is showin'
When you're brought up
You're caught up in a system that is goin'
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers
No one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call
From you, you, you, you, you
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
What I, what I, what I, what do I desire?
