[Verse 1] Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skippin' like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end To it all [Chorus] And I don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below [Verse 2] Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues Down to see [Chorus 2] That we don't even care As restless as we are We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement [Bridge] Lamented and a**ured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope [Verse 3] Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it To see [Chorus 1] That we don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below [Outro] The street heats the urgency of now As you can see there's no one around
