Junky Man — текст песни (Jim Carroll)

By Rancid:
The common man doesn`t suffer pain like this
Only the soul that has never been kissed
Let us adore our beautiful son
He`s ridin` on the rivers of Babylon
Bootin` up, shootin` up
Bring on the brightness
See the son of God is comin` up
Your [sic] caught up in a system that`s goin`
No one answers no one takes that call from you
Junky man tell me what your story is . . .
Water I desire
Some parents [sic] house is on fire
Slowly the house gonna burn to the ground
The neighborhood will watch . . .
Will someone be a witness please
Tell me that he`s crazy
But he`s not and they thow that
And they can`t get him `cause he`s not crazy
Beat him lock him knock him take away his authority
Hit `em, ship `em, club `em submitted conformity . . .

By Carroll:
Audio sample

My hand went blind clairvoyant
I make love to my trance sister
My trance sister went on
And my trance parents see from the balcony
I looked out on the big field
It opens like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves
Their paws trampling the snow
The alphabet
I stand on my head and watch it all go away

By Rancid:
Bootin` up, shootin` up
Bring on the brightness
See the sun of God is comin` up
And there is a likeness
Internalize the lunacy
The misery is showin` when your [sic] brought up
And your [sic] caught up in a system that is goin`
