Rancid - Roots Radicals lyrics

Ben Zanotto, he was on there, he was waiting for me

All the punk rockers and the moon stompers are out

On the corners where they're sparing for change

I started thinking you know I started drinking,

I don't (really) remember too much of that day.

Something struck me funny when we ran out of money.

Where do you go now when you're only 15?

With the music execution and the talk of revolution,

It bleeds in me

And it goes

[CHORUS:]

Give 'em the boot the roots the radicals

Give 'em the boot you know I'm a radical

Give 'em the boot the roots the reggae on my stereo

The radio was playing, Desmond Dekker was singing

On the 43 bus as we climbed up the hill.

Nothing incoming but the reggae drumming

And we all come from unloving homes (I said)

Why even bother and pick up the bottle

Mr. bus driver please let these people on

Rudegirl Carol was a mini-skirt girl,

My blurry vision saw nothin' wrong.

With the music execution and the talk of revolution,

It bleeds in me

And it goes

[CHORUS]

On my stereo!

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Took the 60 bus out of downtown Campbell

Ben Zanotto, he was on there, he was waiting for me

All the punk rockers and the moon stompers are out

on the corners where they're sparing for change.

And the radio was playing, Desmond Dekker was singing

On the 43 bus as we climbed up the hill

Rudegirl Carol was a mini-skirt girl,

My blurry vision saw nothing wrong.

With the music execution and the talk of revolution,

it bleeds in me and it goes

[CHORUS] x2
