This song is one of our first songs off the new album. It's about punks, skins, straights.
I was walking along the street
Minding my own affair
Suddenly two policemen grabbed me
And I wasn't aware.
They said, "Is your name Matey?"
I said, "Why sure".
He says, "You're the punk
That I've been waiting for.
You're nicked"
Better the devil you know
Confess the guesser was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress
Test closed
Hang me up and on the board
And I'm chairman of the board
I'm coming back for sequels
Do you ever really think you've won?
Now you're feeble
Nothing on his far-gone son
All these people
They're laughing at the shit I've done
Self services catchphrase talking 'bout home in the truck
Met a murderer who said is my woman is more
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
Set a sail set a brail
Met the Kings and Queens
There's so many trust
Just the amphetamines
Well her dream would've been
That the boy's got clean
That her father never bought his heart
Caught up in the man's machine
Well it seems even if I got away
There's always a part of me willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
Check, check, check, check
1, 2, 3, kick
I met goths and monsters
Women from Wisconsin
Swimming in middle
With another
That's not their partner
Chicago the selfish drunk
On my journey
I met Ernie
So he spoke like a cone got drunk
I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son
I'm a traitor and I'm on the run
What she come
As she said
What she driving in her car
Getting drunker than the bar
She be smacking our shoulders
Just before she's legal
I'm a dragon
Ride on through the city of sin
It's the hard done bastards
Taking it in
Well I see what I say
Seven on the way
They can't sit bawling
But they bawl anyway
Well she describes all her tears
But with all of her fears
Well she run away
She had a place
Now all she ever sees is the fears
Take it as she's seen it
Get away
Well this all was a drama
So here to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
Run, run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have also've told her
I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the
Man's Machine
Run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have also've told her
I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the
Man's Machine
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
