Last Ditch Records

All sounds: Billy Beck Lyrics: It was a long dank summer Through the gas they were gettin' From all the gummers and The rules that Mom was settin' Couldn't buy a thing Wasn't nothin' swingin' All across the land from sea-to-sea Anxiety and tension, sneakin' apprehension Sideways lookin' and that's not to mention What nobody knew but wouldn't stop Guessin' away... Flags flyin' high up & down the line Most didn't know about half the time What it's all about, all the scream & shout Jumpin' up & down, all day long [chorus] You can find your own way if you want to Everybody oughta make up their minds Build yourself better and we might get together And have a good time There wasn't much of a way On the road to the day When the dawn broke high In the Western sky The line was all laid The ride was all paid With nothin' left to do but run it out Just a means to an end Without room to pretend About how it all started To buckle and bend People went swayin' Like a symphony playin' On the fight side of history A damned funny thing about 'the town square' Ain't nothing good scrollin' down there All those Twits and Instafaces Rounded up in safe spaces [chorus] [bridge] Workin' hard all day in a natural way With a love for inspiration And an eye for the truth Here and there, everywhere Tryin' to make it better in a modern world But now the place is reelin' With a deep, dark feelin': Everybody's racin' a rat [guitar] That sunset was a thing to behold Nobody knows the price that it tolled Mom cookin' dinner, his budget gettin' thinner Cryin' his blues out on the TV Then the night fell in on the stupefied crowd They had a Summer of Love in the streets downtown Lordy what a party it was coming to One fine day It all went flyin' off the high-side All the pieces landed on a lone outrider Mommy couldn't take it, Daddy couldn't fake it Kids boxed up in a safety zone [chorus]

All sounds: Billy Beck Lyrics: What you're wearing at me there Has got me scared and I don't have A space to play where I feel safe To have my way right up in your face And I can't see why you can't see it my way So just stop being what you are And smile at me Let me see That you can be just what I want you to be When I try to get through to you You just do what you do And I can't listen, so Smile at me Make this easy And I won't have to dial 911 If you don't smile [reprise]
