lyrics

All my friends are piling on the back of buses
Awkward and eager to be crushed by something
I don’t know, what do you want to do tonight?

My street shouts until the early morning
Everyone on the outside wants to get in.
Everyone’s got their own something that’s right.

And you are at the center of it all
And, oh, it won’t be the last time you get let down.

Watching for the end of the deprivation
We are all getting old and time is getting wasted
There’s a good chance I’ll probably always be there

A Baltimore summer is coming down
And everyone on the inside wants to get out
All dressed up and set to go nowhere.

And you are at the center of it all
And, oh, it won’t be the last time you get let down.

The day is running out, the day is running out
That’s how the day runs down.

Alright, alright.
Gonna be an OK night.
Alright, alright.

Night Birds are the best hc/punk band going right now. Perfect blend of Adolescents, Agent Orange, and Dead Kennedys. Firestarter / Toxic Pop

DON'T BE SO CRUEL
by Something Fierce

A million times better than their first LP, which wasn't bad at all. Sounds like if the Clash were around now and influenced by the Dirtnap Records roster. Lyrics of substance, too, which is a rarity. Firestarter / Toxic Pop
