Did you hear I made national news Made a pacifist pick a fight 80 degrees and the AC’s busted KDOC on a Saturday night Go on and let em all in at once They’ll be ready to riot once the cameras roll Show these freaks what it means to be weak Get em good and angry till the heart is full can you hear em call my name And turn it into a battle cry If you want in on the action, kid Dial the number if you wanna know why 714-999-5000 David Duke’s in the back there sweating Hot seat’s waiting there like a trap Send him and all my enemies out on a rail, Put KDOC on the map Security you better get out here quick Get these liberal freaks here off my set Make way for the whores and the Satanists Killing America every chance they get Tonight let’s make some national news Leave em out there just wanting more On KDOC Channel 56 Make saturday night a forever war Whatever happens at the end of this Morton Downey Jr’s gettin’ an earful next thing you know they’ll take our freedom of speech The freedom to be goddamned awful Can you hear em call my name Goddamn it brings a tear to my eye If you want in on the action Just dial the number and open wide.
2.	Huntington Park Ballroom, 1958 (for Cal Worthington & His Dog Spot) 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Should I ever get too old for this what if that day never ever comes Keep the cameras rolling kid Let the footage roll a hundred miles long Go and hand me my stetson hat The one I got back in Corpus Christi Get on the horn let the folks know we’re Turning huntington park into music city Get buck owens on the phone, tell him we’re selling cars with a country show Tell him to rally all the Buckaroos Go grab the banner from the lot Go and get yourself dolled up and Meet me in the ballroom Huntington Park ballroom Will I ever get too old for this what if that day never ever comes Keep the cameras rolling kid Let the footage roll a hundred years long You can watch me wingwalk against the wind Strap me to a plane and let it soar You know I’d do almost anything Anything to see you out of here in this Ford Come on down you can meet my dog An elephant and a tiger too Here at Worthington Ford We’ve got the Long Beach Zoo Banner waving on the lot Reminding you of the first car you bought When you met me in the ballroom Huntington Park ballroom Where Bellflower Blvd. meets the 405 Here at Worthington Ford, we’re making deals till midnight You should’ve seen it years ago We sold some cars with a country show We even had Buck Owens And all the Buckaroos And all you had to do was trust your pal Meet him down at the Corral Meet me in the ballroom All you had to do trust your pal All you had to do was go see Cal Meet me in the ballroom Huntington Park ballroom Meet me in the ballroom

Oh sweet chariot Hurling in the sky Shining like a diamond Burning like a demon’s eyes Make sure you have money Our bus home has arrived Today’s the date we graduate Cmon everyone, we’ll be just fine Go on and get ready Get those decades on your feet Go and eat your supper It’s almost complete Oh I’m almost home, dear My Bonnie in the sky Today’s the day we graduate C'mon everyone, we’ll be just fine CHORUS Go and get the camera We can’t hold the gate Go and shoot your video Before it’s too late Go say your goodbyes, kids It’s our time to shine Today’s the day we graduate, C'mon everyone we’ll be just fine Go and press record, kid Make it short and sweet Off to see the father It’s almost complete Go say your goodbyes kids, Turn our bodies into light Today’s the day we graduate Come on everyone, we'll be alright Oh sweet chariot Hurling in the sky Shining like a diamond Burning like a demon’s eyes… Go and get the camera We can’t hold the gate Go and shoot your video Before it’s too late Oh sweet chariot Hurling in the sky Shining like a diamond Burning like my Bonnie’s eyes Make sure you have money Our bus home has arrived Today’s the day we graduate, C'mon everyone we’ll be just fine

6.	The Final Hellride (for GG Allin's Friends) 05:32	lyrics	buy track
He looked like hell He would’ve been so pleased Jockstrap and a leather jacket His body like a rotten peach Left him a bottle in his casket there With all his personal effects We’ll probably take it back to drink to him Leave him with the rest The funeral director in the back with his head down This is how we grieve and you really can’t stop it now He looked like hell that’s exactly what he was He was jesus Christ without the Christ Jesus Everyone gather round the corpse, ready to strike a pose Cameras everywhere, the whole bands here This’ll be the album’s back cover photo How we disrespected his body He would’ve been so proud This is how we grieve and you just can’t stop it now There’s good ol’ Aunt Merrill There in the back with her head down She said you were all his friends so you’re all mine now He weighed so much Carried him all the way down Said he didn’t have a friend in the world But here we all are now

about

Songs and music about four people that have nothing to do with each other. Slight pointless historical fiction.
