Bye Bye Forty Five

Good bye forty five
We're ain't gonna miss you
You're corrupt as crap so don't come back
And take all of your family with you

You wanted to be a hit 45
Climbin' to the top of the chart
But you couldn't sing or even tune the strings
All you got is a toneless bark
(I said)
Bye bye forty five
You couldn't make democracy die
Get outta town you really should
Cuz you ain't welcome in the neighbourhood (no-no-no)

You were thinkin' you're a Colt 45
But you got less POP! than a BB
You're no king or anything
Just an old tweetin' tweety

All that orange'll make you look good
In a brand new DOC jumpsuit
You spoiled your chance, you couldn't dance
So now now we're giving you the boot
(I said)
Bye bye forty five
You couldn't make democracy die
Get outta town you really should
Cuz you ain't welcome in the neighbourhood
(And they don't want ya in Florida, neever)

Your future well it's looking bad
You won't have a good legacy
Just remember that you're an offender
How you got here is a mystery

Yeah good bye forty five
And good riddance to you
You're just a con and now you're gone
We can forget all about you

Bye bye forty five
You couldn't make democracy die
Get outta town you really should
Cuz you ain't welcome in the neighbourhood
Bye bye forty five
You couldn't make democracy die
Get outta town you really should
Cuz you ain't welcome in the neighbourhood
Good bye forty five
You couldn't make democracy die
Get outta town you really should
Cuz you ain't welcome in the neighbourhood
Bye bye forty five
You couldn't make democracy die
Get outta town you really should
Cuz you ain't welcome in the neighbourhood
Bye bye forty five
Take yer kids, whether they're 4 or 5
Get outta town you really should
Fuck off and die

about

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois

Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
