[00:00.39]I can listen to the records [00:03.10]From my younger years [00:05.38]Pacify my bitter ears [00:08.32]And revive the dead dinosaurs [00:12.04]Me and Jamo rode two buses [00:14.98]Out to Rockpile [00:17.09]Sure to find a rarity [00:19.96]And something to believe [00:25.37]But I can't listen to them now [00:28.40]Without mourning a small town [00:31.41]And the mom and pops I loved [00:37.34]Once a missionary man [00:42.06]I age into obscurity with them [00:46.80]The Ramones are dead [00:53.69]You could judge a band [00:55.31]By a cover flipping thru the bins [00:58.61]Assured enough to take a spin [01:01.55]The art and lyrics big enough [01:04.25]To see and read [01:06.03]Pull the record from it's sleeve [01:09.11]Spear the cut hole arm and speed [01:12.11]Plunge the needle [01:13.57]Shaking like a ** fiend [01:18.68]Now relevant again somehow [01:21.57]Reanimated sacred cow [01:24.88]But it all seems different now [01:30.57]It's far too easy to get anything in demand [01:35.42]I'll say it once again [01:40.19]The Ramones are dead [01:48.59]The Ramones Are Dead - Joey Cape
