What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Me and my friends are like
2
The drums on 'Lust for Life'
3
We pound it out on floor toms
4
Our Psalms are sing along songs
5
And this whole town is like this
6
And now we all haul ashes
7
Work at the mill until you die
8
Work at the mill and then you die
9
We're gonna build something this summer
10
(Gonna build something this summer)
11
We'll put it back together, raise up a giant ladder
12
With love and trust and friends and hammers
13
(This summer)
14
We're gonna lean this ladder up against the water tower
15
Climb up to the top and drink and talk
16
(This summer)
17
Me and my friends are like
18
Double whiskey, coke no ice
19
We drink along in double time
20
Might drink too much but we feel fine
21
We're gonna build something this summer
22
(Gonna build something this summer)
23
Summer grant us all the power
24
To drink on top of the water towers
25
With love and trust and shows all summer
26
(Get hammered )
27
Let this be my annual reminder
28
That we can all be something bigger
29
I went to your schools, I did my detention
30
But the walls are so gray I couldn't pay attention
31
I read your gospel, it moved me into tears
32
But I couldn't find the hate and I couldn't find the fear
33
I met your Savior, I knelt at his feet
34
And he took my ten bucks and he went down the street
35
I tried to believe all the things that you said
36
But my friends that aren't dying are already dead
37
Raise a toast to Saint Joe Strummer
38
I think he might have been our only decent teacher
39
Getting older only makes it harder to remember
40
We are our only saviors
41
We're gonna build something this summer
