Jed lyrics

[This song is sung by both John and Robby.]

1... 2... 1, 2, 3, 4!

I've been around...And I realize it's always the same
All the time...And I realize it's all been unchanged
What I find...And you realize there's no one home
There's no way out...When you realize you're all alone

Some say, there's no way out
Here today, there's no way out

Every time I'm walking down by Delaware Park

Oh, the storm is threatening
My very life today.
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

See the fire sweepin'
Our very streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Out of my face
I don't know your name
As time goes by
You're the same

The last time that you saw me
I didn't even care
The next time that I saw you
It was me who stood and stared

I'm out of sight
You're out of mind
I'm out of sight
You're out of mind

Hangin' in the bar
Loud rockin' noise
You have a Chevy
I guess it's your choice

You really thought you had me
Thought you put me in my place

One to many times I've seen you in a frown
You hold your head down in despair
Oh, but, the time is now you wear that frown
Cause you'll never see me again

Fortune, misfortune
Oh, such a distortion
Fortune, misfortune
Oh, such a distortion

You keep on reaching for those things you just can't keep
You keep on searching for some more
Oh, but I know, in this what you stole, you are so greedy

Being afraid can be okay, if you're willing to let things go
If you'd lay me to die and try to learn what you don't know
I don't know why I drive behind the wheel
Sun's the sky, and I was

On the road to salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go, and I would always get back home

Took the time inside to find the boy inside my brain

Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while

I don't wanna lie around with this feeling anymore
Every time you push me you just push me out the door
And I don't wanna stand up, when I'm by your side
For you to make your silly mind, instead you won't

Laughing love doll
Boy, you're so proud
Love is sold out

Every time I look into your sad, pathetic face
I don't even wanna restore your faith in the human race

Up yours
Stop your whine
Feelin' swell
And I'm doin' fine

Yeah, fuck your suicide
It's all bullshit cuz I tried
And it really don't impress me all that much

Up yours
What'd you find
Sit right down
I got time

And you say here comes the end
And you haven't got a friend
And I'm standing here just screaming at the wall

Up yours
Stop your whine
Whatcha ya got
I got mine

Walking over the same ole grass
Trying to stay off the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize

Artie, take a look at me
And I wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

Hey there man
I'll take and scratch your cat
But I'll apologize for all the little things
That piss you off about me

Walking over the same ole ground

Okay, and I was standing
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And I worked on it with my friend
Back in 1849, times were hard
I think I'd be a sawed-off shotgun
They had a double-breasted jacket on
I don't care
Take a load off
Out of my freakin' face
You'd be a punk without me
No money without love
Nothin' but a problem, nothin' but a problem
New York's got a problem

If I leave today, don't know where to go that I can stay
I know what I need, but I won't follow, I can't lead

And when I stood there and I felt November chill
You crushed my heart, and I really lost my will
You think you understand the way it made me feel
I started to choke on you, cuz I know what you fear

Cuz I've had enough, and I don't really need it
Had enough, and I don't really feel it

Well I was hangin' around the railway station
My mind was insane from total degradation
Little boy blue was a tootin' his horn now
Scared those cows right out of the door now

I hear you screaming but you can't come in
Cuz I know that you're just a sex maggot!

Mommy and daddy used to play this game now
Told me boys and girls are really all the same now

(No words to this excellent instrumental)

Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown

If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring

Cuz I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
