TOM MORELLO / BOOTS RILEY - Somewhere In The World It's Midnight lyrics

rate me

Somewhere in the world it's 3 o'clock

Time to get out of school and think

Somewhere in the world it's 5pm

And quittin time means it's time to drink

Somewhere in the world it's 8 o'clock

Let's get fly, man, and go to gig

But somewhere in the world it's midnight

And the guerillas just shot two pigs

Somebody needs to battle this adrenaline

Throw death the middle fin

Stompin' through your suburbs

Like coke, meth, and Ritalin

Streetlights and little sins

We fight for the little yen

Despite the bitter end

And ignite carcinogens

This here's a little shot of

Can't-Be-Stopped

A lot o' Fuck-You-Pay-Me

A little Fuck-The-Cops

'Cause them parasites'll suck your wop

And bankrupt your flock

Chuck you overseas to buck the glock

And in the gallows of San Quentin

The officials were smitten

By the smooth, suave way

Which my initials were written

So they paid no attention

That the scribbled transmission

Read, "I'm a get outta here,

Pray I don't get ammunition."

Come on, somewhere in the world it's 3 o'clock

Time to get out of school and think

Somewhere in the world it's 5pm

And quittin time means it's time to drink

Somewhere in the world it's 8 o'clock

Let's get fly, man, and go to gig

But somewhere in the world it's midnight

And the guerillas just shot two pigs

Come on and come on with me

Sometimes the night falls just so

You can't see the scars

Discourse between the stars

Is dialogue of stolen DVD players and VCRs

I know a corner, if you say "cocaine"

They claim that you takin' the lord's name in vain

I came to spit flames

Until this shit change

Until we switch games

The streets drown in pain, now

Y'all might just drink and fuck to this

Let's knuckle up and deconstruct the shit

I'm a show you what they dysfunction is

They need some nickel-plated acupuncturists

Vile and vulturous

Let's get tumultuous

And bring a multitude

To where their luncheon is

Somewhere in the world it's 3 o'clock

Time to get out of school and think

Somewhere in the world it's 5pm

And quittin time means it's time to drink

Somewhere in the world it's 8 o'clock

Let's get fly, man, and go to the gig

But somewhere in the world it's midnight

And the guerillas just shot two pigs

Come on now, come on with it
