ORANGE COUNTY ZOMBIES OF SKA!
Hey hey look over here it's the craziest sound since some hobo yelled "Football! Hail Mary! You get baptized in the water....by the Baptists!"
Story behind the song
1st song in concept album detailing the struggle to obtain self determination in the ethnic minority of "the rudy." dancing rights have been revoked and now streets have become arena for both political and personal civil rights.
Lyrics
(INTRO)
SUNSETS AND THE STREETLIGHT GLOW
FLOODS THE STREETS, IGNITING THE NIGHTLIFE
STREET URCHINS ACT LIKE MOTHS TO THE FLAME
DRAWN TO THE WARMTH OF OFFBEAT NOISE POLLUTION
(VERSE)
this night will not be had in vain
TAKE IT BACK
climb to the rooftops and shout it loud
WE TAKE WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY OURS
our cause looks so small on the streets below us
but now it's time to dance
(PRECHORUS)
hey! it hit the streets again
black/white drinking a molotov
band pins as shields
resolve of steel
and a burning desire to dance the night away
lance up those polished skanking boots
rudy fists high in the air
skanking beat
and unity
this checkered mob wants answers right away
(CHORUS)
remember when the tonight was ours
THE STREETS WERE FILLED WITH DANCING
burdens from the day left far behind
OUR HOPES WERE AS HIGH AS THE MOON
those nights are long over
NEVER FORGET, CAN'T STRIP MEMORY
but like the sun rising in the sky
WE'LL TAKE IT BACK
(PRECHORUS2)
the ecstasy of society
bloodless coup for you and me
a treatise here
a pamphlet there
dancing granted through rudy sovereignty
long nights and petty crimes
we'll keep the peace and you'll keep your lives
option a
or option b
I think we're both looking for harmony
CHORUS2
VERSE2
(END)
THE STREETS WERE FILLED WITH DANCING
OUR HOPES WERE AS HIGH AS THE MOON
NEVER FORGET, CAN'T STRIP MEMORY
WE'LL TAKE IT BACK
repeat
(END2)
THE STREETS WERE FILLED WITH DANCING
OUR HOPES SET WITH THE MOON
