Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Making come true, our modest impossible dreams
Stuck in public school classrooms at age fifteen
Those long hot days, just before the summer
Knowing that we're stuck here
[Verse 2]
And there's something happening, somewhere
Knowing we know we gotta get there
It's true what they say
"Death is more perfect than life"
That's why we already died
[Verse 3]
What could have been
We don't wanna know
Tonight, we'll get our kicks
Tonight, we're all letting go
'Cause we're all dead Ramones
[Verse 4]
Sore back, sore feet
A ragtag army and we're sick in the heat
We're not pretty and we're not rich
We're gonna have to fucking work for it
[Verse 5]
It's our life, we do what we choose
Black jeans, black shirt, black shoes
Mom and Dad still don't approve
[Verse 6]
Twenty-eight shows, twenty-eight days
Pulling up new rogues all along the way
Just another face in this desperate youth parade
[Verse 7]
And all the bunk beds locked
Doors, hardwood, sweat, guts
Skateboards, Cold War bomb
Shelter basement screams
No sleep, good dreams
[Verse 8]
We're playing as hard as we can
And a whole lotta time stuck in the van
Reading the graffiti on every bathroom wall
In truck stop fast food Hell
[Verse 9]
Save me from ordinary
Save me from myself
[Verse 10]
Another punk rock summer came and went
Now I just wanna go back home
Turn up my stereo till the rhythm melts my bones
'Cause I'm a dead Ramone
[Verse 11]
