A new original song, “Last Slummer” © 2011 by None Like Joshua, for my upcoming album, The Impermanent. Please comment and share! Thank you!
Full lyrics:
– – I remember back then
Running through the landfills
Playing pretend
– – and I’d say to my friends
Look what I found
Felt like rich kids
– – while stealing the bread
Running from the cops
Too fast for the Feds
– – Nobody cared what we did
We ruled the world
From beginning to the end
– – cause we can’t be stopped
didn’t know better than what we’ve got
– – that’s nothing to lose
When you’re living on no socks or shoes
– – cause we can’t be stopped
should’ve had more than what we’ve got
– – that’s nothing to prove
– Everyday is the last summer too
– We were roaming the streets
Call me street rat, we were that discreet
Pick pocketing, lottery, no need
Stealing meats and cheese cause
We know they couldn’t see us
– – hopping on trains by the day
No rules, no school, and no one tried to make us
Wait
The city was the back of my hand
No laws from the man, or a boss with a plan
– – and we never gave a shit about
taking to survive, so don’t try to understand cause
– – I could catch a fly with my hand, no moms or dads
reprimands or commands
– We never want to be in an orphanage
Waiting with the false hope, thinking we’re important kids
Cause we’re not, we got our own backs together
The last summer forever
– – cause we can’t be stopped
didn’t know better than what we’ve got
– – that’s nothing to lose
When you’re living on no socks or shoes
– – cause we can’t be stopped
should’ve had more than what we’ve got
– – that’s nothing to prove
– Everyday is the last summer too
Look at us, we’re running through the alleyway, aggrava
Ting all the grown ups, cause they always told us
You’ll never be a child if you want to be gradua
Ting from the wild, and not be homeless
But we’re too free to want to be closed up
You don’t want to see me thinking no that’s enough
I’m short but I’m tough, it’s cold but I’m young
And I could say more, but now we gotta run like
– Here we go
– Can’t Stop
– Feel the flow
– Can’t talk
– Get away
– Break free
– Got to fly
– Can’t make me
– I don’t want to know
– When you got to owe
– What you got to earn
– Not what you sow
– – cause we can’t be stopped
didn’t know better than what we’ve got
– – that’s nothing to lose
When you’re living on no socks or shoes
– – cause we can’t be stopped
should’ve had more than what we’ve got
– – that’s nothing to prove
– Everyday is the last summer too
Run
Cause we can’t be stopped
Didn’t know better than we we’ve got
No we can’t be stopped
Should’ve had more than what we’ve got
Everyday was the last summer too
