lyrics

I played in this punk band once and we turned our amps up real loud
And we stacked them as high as they would go
And they made these goddamn awful sounds
The people understood and they wept
As the dead rolled around inside their graves
Clawing inside padded caskets
As we kicked over the markers on their tombs
It's cheaper to be buried in a used car
And we broke bottles on the statues of greater men than us
And we rolled joints with the paper from the tiny bibles
That lay near their feet flowers at their feet
And one day we heard David Bowie passed away
When David Bowie passed away we just had to stop
