Hey You Bastards I'm Still Here
When I was a kid I read the Satanic Bible I was bored, got it at the mall in Ohio When I was older I moved out to the bay And at a music store, hey I met Anton LaVey He was dapper and he had two strippers with him
He played organ with expertise and precision I got invited to his house in '97 with my friend Becky, there was some kind of get together. I didn't go cuz I had something or other Then he died that year in late October.
And if I'm ever near the corner he lived on I always think about the day I met Anton His old victorian was black as Bondo They tore it down, now it's shiny new condos
When I was a kid I watched the movie Papillon With my father, it left an impression on me The head hunters and the lepers colony Devil's Island and the Dustin Hoffman bull scene.
I watched the movie 150 times I can recite every one of the script lines To this day the last scene brings me to tears when Steve McQueen says, 'Hey you bastards I'm still here' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
We watched a lot of TV, Kung-Fu, and Beretta Robert Blake wore a cockatoo on his shoulder And you couldn't help but to love David Carradine Kicking the white man's ass in every scene.
Oh I can't help but think of my father and me When I see old movies with Steve McQueen. Oh I can't help but think of my father and me When I hear the name David Carradine.
When I was a kid I'd go to the Cue Cushion, there were pool tables and dead beats drug pushing. I'd buy joints in the bathroom for a dollar, smoke them down along the Tuscarawas River.
I'd sit alone and I'd feel inspired I wanted out of the home of the mass retired. At night I'd watch Johhny Carson tell advice in LA, and knew I'd live on the west coast one day. And when I'm back home I remember the old days, when I walk along Lincoln Way. And when I'm back home I remember the old days, when I walk along Lincoln Way.
