TOM MORELLO lyrics : "Somewhere In The World It's Midnight"

[Chorus: Boots Riley]
Somewhere in the world it's 3 o'clock
Time to get out of school and think

Somewhere in the world it's 5pm
And quittin time means it's time to drink
Somewhere in the world it's 8 o'clock

Let's get fly, man, and go to gig
But somewhere in the world it's midnight
And the guerillas just shot two pigs


[Boots Riley:]
Somebody needs to battle this adrenaline

Throw death the middle fin
Stompin' through your suburbs
Like !@%!e, meth, and Ritalin

Streetlights and little sins
We fight for the little yen
Despite the bitter end

And ignite carcinogens
This here's a little shot of
Can't-Be-Stopped

A lot o' $#&@-You-Pay-Me
A little $#&@-The-Cops
'Cause them parasites'll suck your wop

And bankrupt your flock
Chuck you overseas to buck the glock
And in the gallows of San Quentin

The officials were smitten
By the smooth, suave way
Which my initials were written

So they paid no attention
That the scribbled transmission
Read, "I'm a get outta here,

Pray I don't get ammunition."
[Chorus: Boots Riley]
Come on, somewhere in the world it's 3 o'clock

Time to get out of school and think
Somewhere in the world it's 5pm
And quittin time means it's time to drink

Somewhere in the world it's 8 o'clock
Let's get fly, man, and go to gig
But somewhere in the world it's midnight

And the guerillas just shot two pigs
Come on and come on with me


[Boots Riley:]
Sometimes the night falls just so
You can't see the scars

Discourse between the stars
Is dialogue of stolen DVD players and VCRs
I know a corner, if you say "cocaine"

They claim that you takin' the lord's name in vain
I came to spit flames
Until this %#@! change

Until we switch games
The streets drown in pain, now
Y'all might just drink and $#&@ to this

Let's knuckle up and deconstruct the %#@!
I'm a show you what they dysfunction is
They need some nickel-plated acupuncturists

Vile and vulturous
Let's get tumultuous
And bring a multitude

To where their luncheon is

[Chorus: Boots Riley]

Somewhere in the world it's 3 o'clock
Time to get out of school and think
Somewhere in the world it's 5pm

And quittin time means it's time to drink
Somewhere in the world it's 8 o'clock
Let's get fly, man, and go to the gig

But somewhere in the world it's midnight
And the guerillas just shot two pigs
Come on now, come on with it
