Jim Caroll - Junky Man Lyrics

By rancid:

The common man doesnt suffer pain like this

Only the soul that has never been kissed

Let us adore our beautiful son

Hes ridin on the rivers of babylon

Bootin up, shootin up

Bring on the brightness

See the son of God is comin up

Your [sic] caught up in a system thats goin

No one answers no one takes that call from you

Junky man tell me what your story is . . .

Water I desire

Some parents [sic] house is on fire

Slowly the house gonna burn to the ground

The neighborhood will watch . . .

Will someone be a witness please

Tell me that hes crazy

But hes not and they thow that

And they cant get him cause hes not crazy

Beat him lock him knock him take away his authority

Hit em, ship em, club em submitted conformity . . .



By carroll:

Audio sample



My hand went blind clairvoyant

I make love to my trance sister

My trance sister went on

And my trance parents see from the balcony

I looked out on the big field

It opens like the cover of an old bible

And out come the wolves

Their paws trampling the snow

The alphabet

I stand on my head and watch it all go away



By rancid:

Bootin up, shootin up

Bring on the brightness

See the sun of God is comin up

And there is a likeness

Internalize the lunacy

The misery is showin when your [sic] brought up

And your [sic] caught up in a system that is goin
