Bad Smack 02:06
lyrics
buy track
My best friend just died from shooting bad smack The hundred dollars I lent her I’ll never get it back It won’t bother her mother she was a suicide And she hadn’t seen her daddy since 1985 Sandman’s on the corner He ain’t losing Jack Customer just hit the pavement He ain’t ever coming back Yeah Oh Yeah Cops on the radio talking about the score They shot a junkie nodding out The Dodgers win by 4 And me I’m in the graveyard Waiting on my grave If I had a revolver I’d put it to someone’s head Yeah Oh Yeah

Warsaw Ghetto 03:33
lyrics

Back in the ghetto in the Warsaw Ghetto With my double-O-Seven and my steel string stiletto They’ve got me surrounded They think they’ve got me pinned But I don’t mind I’m a Judische Kind Nazi Roman officer comes walking up to me Swears I’ve got to die So I take a sip of Heineken And I spit it in his eye I take a sip of Heineken The windows across the street are barred The building is falling down The walls are rubble we crouch behind Waiting to defend our town Through the flames the orange sun is really white But you can only stare at it through the flames One day when you get up When you really get up When you’ve gotten up and out of there And you stand before God After the fact but not pursuing it Bowing down in prayer and pleading ignorance And your only defense, your only defense Is self defense Back in the Ghetto in the Warsaw Ghetto.
