"Acid Boys" lyrics

"Acid Boys"

Take me to the train tracks, get me there tonight
I got to bust out of town
There's somebody waiting for me underneath them city light
Hanging for to shoot me down
But I don't want to die here, not now

I've been running with the Acid Boys, "ooin' in the bites"
Doing what we can to survive now
Ain't nobody got money but, hey, nobody really cares
'Cause we just keep it hanging on
But I don't want to lay down slow and leave
You don't have to love anyone or anything

You don't know nothing 'bout nothing now
Everything's getting you down
Life ain't what it was supposed to be
But that's just how it is now

My street's like a battlefield, shotgun's at my chest
Was walking down to see what the noise was
They put me in handcuffs and slide me in the backseat of a cop car, tell me I should go home
Well home has come and left
I ain't blind but I think I might be deaf

'Cause I ain't heard nothing 'bout nothing now
Everything's getting me down
Something's got to give, somebody's get out of town

You can say it loud, you can say it real loud indeed
You can tell me that you don't want to stay
You can tell me that there's somebody
Else in your life now, that's alright

Just take me to the train tracks, get me out of town
I gotta bust out tonight
There's somebody hanging 'round trying to shoot me down
Hiding out in the city lights
I don't want to die here, not now
I don't want to die here, not now
