Mark Kozelek - Hey You Bastards I'm Still Here lyrics

When I was a kid I read the Satanic Bible I was bored, got it at the mall in Ohio When I was older I moved out to the bay And at a music store, hey I met Anton LaVey He was dapper and he had two strippers with him He played organ with expertise and precision I got invited to his house in '97 With my friend Becky, there was some kind of get together I didn't go cuz I had something or other Then he died that year in late October And if I'm ever near the corner he lived on I always think about the day I met Anton His old victorian was black as Bondo They tore it down, now it's shiny new condos When I was a kid I watched the movie Papillon With my father, it left an impression on me The head hunters and the lepers colony Devil's Island and the Dustin Hoffman boat scene I watched the movie 150 times I can recite every one of the script lines To this day the last scene brings me to tears When Steve McQueen says, "Hey you ba*tards I'm still here" We watched a lot of TV, Kung-Fu, and Beretta Robert Blake wore a co*katoo on his shoulder And you couldn't help but to love David Carradine Kicking the white man's a** in every scene Oh I can't help but think of my father and me When I see old movies with Steve McQueen Oh I can't help but think of my father and me When I hear the name David Carradine When I was a kid I'd go to the Cue Cushion There were pool tables and dead beats drug pushing I'd buy joints in the bathroom for a dollar Smoke them down along the Tuscarawas River I'd sit alone and I'd feel inspired I wanted out of the home of the Ma**illon Tigers At night I'd watch Johnny Carson televised in LA And knew I'd live on the west coast one day And when I'm back home I remember the old days When I walk along Lincoln Way And when I'm back home I remember the old days When I walk along Lincoln Way
