Shit PA   Year: 2007 | Run Time: 5:02

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

i brought it forth in the road noise drone
wrote it down dog-eared yellow pages
ritual of sorts to get ourselves saved
yeah and we bled it through a shit pa

sobered by the sound of one k spikes
nurtured on second hand inhalation
the spoils of war measured out in ounces late at night
no medals given for this degradation

once you ran now you stumble
looking for eternal light at the end of the tunnel
and i swear if i make it out of here
there's no cover just one foot in front of the other
and i swear i won't ask why
if i make it out of here alive

lived by sharper wits and razor edge fear
counterfeit thanks as the doorman hands you the weakest part
ground too hard to plow up year after year
yielding nothing but weeds inside your heart

too many kid well it just didn't work out
too many benefits of doubt
too many phone calls never be returned
too many bridges you got forced to burn

rent's always cheap on hell's half acre
all those residents wave and say we'll see you later
sally forth to greet whatever's left of your day
and you bleed it through a shit pa

Did You Know?

Bill explains, "I've played on so many crap PA systems over the years it became a bit of a symbol... even if one thought they'd fashioned a grand meal, ready to be sumptuously enjoyed, it still often came through the same vending machine."

Appeared On…
