Sonic Youth - Chapel Hill lyrics

Back in the days when the battles raged
And we thought it was nothing
A bookstore man meets the CIA and we know
Throw me a cord and plug it in
Get the Cradle rocking
Out with the redneck pig old men
And it's gold

Hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memory's in the shadow back in time again

And I can't forget your terrorized face
When you cried for the shameless
Wasted life, AmeriK-K-Kan and you smiled
Said why should we run when we cannot hide?
And my flag is burnin'
We could be wrong, but that's alright
We'll rise again

Hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memory's in the shadow
It's back in town again

Lookin' away, it's another day
And of course we love you
Radical man meets the CIA and we said no
We'll round up the Durham HC kids
And the Char-Grill killers
Jesse H coming to our Pit all-ages show

Hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memory's in the shadow
It's back in time again
