| Making come true our modest, impossible dreams
|
| Stuck in public school classrooms, at age fifteen!
|
| Those long hot days, just before the summer
|
| Knowing that we’re stuck here!
|
| And there’s something happening somewhere
|
| Knowing we know, we gotta get there
|
| It’s true what they say
|
| Death is more perfect than life
|
| That’s why we already died!
|
| What could have been?
|
| We don’t wanna know!
|
| Tonight we’ll get our kicks
|
| Tonight we’re all letting go
|
| 'Cus we’re all Dead Ramones!
|
| Sore back!
|
| Sore feet!
|
| A ragtag army and we’re sick in the heat
|
| We’re not pretty
|
| And we’re not rich
|
| We’re gonna hafta fucking work for it
|
| It’s our life!
|
| We do what we choose!
|
| Black jeans, black shirt, black shoes!
|
| Mom and Dad still don’t approve
|
| Twenty-eight shows, twenty-eight days
|
| Pulling up new rogues all along the way
|
| I’m just another face in this desperate youth parade
|
| And all the bunk beds locked doors, hardwood, sweat, guts
|
| Skateboards, cold war bomb shelter basement screams, no sleep, good dreams
|
| We’re playing hard as we can
|
| And a whole lotta time stuck in the van
|
| Reading the graffiti on every bathroom wall
|
| In truck stop fast food hell
|
| Save me from ordinary
|
| Save me from myself!
|
| Another punk rock summer came and went
|
| Now I just wanna go back home
|
| And turn up my stereo
|
| 'Til the rhythm melts my bones
|
| 'Cus I’m a Dead Ramone!
|
| D — E — A — D — R — A — M — O — N — E — S! |
| (x4)
|
| We’re all Dead Ramones! |
