about

A blues inflected song about music consumerism and the death of the rock rebel.

lyrics

A hard-working sun casts down on a muddy bank
Heat ripples rising, slow men burning
A guitar breaks out angry and sad
The spirit moans of sweat learning fast
That it’s easier to give away than take the toys
And leave rock’n roll to the poor boys

A mansion on a hill finished counting time
In the valley below it’s all rotted siding, chicken wire
A radio calls out a fast-picking tune
Uplifting a day grown tired at noon
But even folks in the trailer park have toys
And leave rock’n roll to the poor boys

Ten blocks from the harbour, museum and shops
Community fractured by cracked city blocks
And not even a boom box declares the hard truth
Or erases the luxury vehicle proof
Cause all the rebels can be bought with toys
And leave rock’n roll to the poor boys

Wednesday night scene in a quaint little town
Catalog-picked mansions’n big box stores surround
A band on stage at the local bar
Makes a quip how original their four songs are
And thank their dads who bought them all the toys
So they won’t leave rock’n roll to the poor boys

Cause all the rebels have been bought with toys
And leave rock’n roll –
