Roots Radical

Took the 60 bus out of downtown Campbell

Ben Zanotto, he was on there, he was waiting for me

All the punk rockers and the moon stompers

Were out on the corners where they were sparing for change

I stopped thinking, you know I started drinking

I don't really remember too much of that day

Something struck me funny when we ran out of money

Where do you go now when you're only fifteen?

With the music execution and the talk of revolution

It bleeds in me, ooh and it goes

Give 'em the boot, the roots of radicals

Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical

Give 'em the boot, the roots of reggae on my stereo

The radio was playing, Desmond Dekker was singing

On the 43 bus as we climb up the hill

Nothing incoming but the reggae drumming

And we all come from unloving homes

I said, why even bother and I pick up the bottle

Mr. Bus Driver, please let these people on

Rude girl Carol was a miniskirt girl

My blurry vision saw nothing wrong

With the music execution and the talk of revolution

It bleeds in me, ooh and it goes

Give 'em the boot, the roots of radicals

Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical

Give 'em the boot, the roots of reggae on my stereo

(On my stereo)

Yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
