lyrics

Well my misery’s without company
My partners in crime have been taken from me
We used to laugh about our legacy
Couldn’t get arrested on MTV

Johnny Thunders was a New York Doll
He cared so much he didn’t care at all
Stiv Bator went to catholic school
Turned his sins into something cool

And the scum lives on
All of my friends are gone
Why they gotta die so young?
And the scum lives on

Brian Jones and Keith Moon had style
Bon Scott was a problem child
Rob Tyner bugged the F.B.I.
Was Abbie Hoffman really suicide?

And the scum lives on
All of my friends are gone
Why they gotta die so young?
And the scum lives on

Jesse Helms’ gonna live forever
Jimmy Swaggart’s gonna live forever
Dan Quayle’s gonna live forever
Ronald Reagan already lived forever
Reverend Donald Wildmon will live forever
Rush Limbaugh’s gonna live forever
All the politicians gonna live forever
Nixon taught ‘em all how to live forever

I’d hate to think it’s conspiracy
But no one’s left who makes sense to me
The immoral majority adding insult to my injury

And the scum lives on
All of my friends are gone
Why they gotta die so young?
And the scum lives on

Steve Conte masterfully marries late 70's rock and early punk. Melodic and soulful with a pinch of personal pain. If there's anyone who's keeping the heartbeat of rock n' roll steady and stout, it's Steve Conte! Superb jamz! Thanx! Your loyal fan, Kainoa Kainoa J. Blackeagle
