lyrics

We would always say that your commute wasn't very safe.
But you've got to get to work some kinda way.
Monday to Friday, you mount up to get up that bridge.
For the early shift.

Morning traffic is an army of machines that have a reputation for being unforgiving.
18 on the pavement, 18 on the floor will wreck your ass just as sure as you're born.

When you meet your maker do want to expect it, or do you want it quick?
A couple more pills might do the trick.
They were here to help me, now I can't tell the night from the day...
AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS WAY?

Don't you know that the drugs will never do
what your doting mom and dad had set out for you.
You were supposed to make it, find something fulfilling.
Instead you'll make a fucking killing.

Get on. get on. GET ON.

Get on with making memories before you are won,
Come on, COME ON, knowing that you're dying makes life twice as fun.

Don't you know that you might not see the seams
of the veil that keeps you blinded, and darkens your dreams.
It's too late when you find out what it means,
that the light you've been missing is coming down in reams!

Murphy's Kids Richmond, Virginia

Murphy's Kids are here to have a blast and to leave everyone from the front row to the back of the bar tired, sweaty and grinning from ear to ear... and they've been doing so up with their blend of reggae, punk, ska and psychedelic rock since 1999.
