lyrics

Feel alive again, feel like myself
Dirty neon reflects my soul
Boozy fights and cigarette lights
Only got a dime, it lasts all night

Oh lord I love this city
Gang Bangers, oh! let’s kick it out
I’ll make it my own, my own
Business men now, oh! let’s kick it out

24 hours, high on cheap pills
Gamble at the docks a night in the hills
Everyone looks like Joey and Dee Dee
Rooftop punk rock sing along with me

Oh lord I love this city
Sex workers oh! let’s kick it out
I’ll make it my own, my own
Club kids now, oh! let’s kick it out

Oh lord I love this city
Metal heads now, oh! let’s kick it out
I’ll make it my own, my own
Ramones City rockers, oh! let’s kick it out

Drawing inspiration from classic garage, Richard Hell, Devo-style New Wave, ’90s skate punk and more, the tightknit quartet constructs unique sonic worlds, luring listeners with refreshing weirdness even as it violently assaults their eardrums. ... more
