Rancid - Junkie Man Lyrics

Ahhhhh; Turn it up

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, oh!

Bootin' up and shootin' up bring on the brightness
See the son of god is comin' up and I see a likeness
Internalize the lunacy of the misery is showin'
When you're brought up you're caught up in a system that's 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-ee-you-ee-you-ee-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

Water, water, water, water 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 and they can't get him, he's not crazy
Beat lock him knock him take him 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-ee-you-ee-you-ee-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 veins; clairvoyant
You were in the veins; clairvoyant
My hand went blind
I make love to my trance sister, my trance sister
And my trance parents see 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"

Bootin' up and shootin' up bring on the brightness
See the son of god is comin' up and there is a likeness
Internalize the lunacy, the misery is showin'
you're brought up and 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-ee-you-ee-you-ee-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
