From Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA's Desert Origins2004

Lyrics

Exit Theory

Woke up And come home Broke up And make up Woke up Your wind in your hollow film All your hope and dreams To the stock market close Today a little bit low On the rock n roll spiller Feel the big man saying [?] It keeps on going The little, the little chips Work into your stereo And walk out upon your face You know The party boys on the take Listen to the five foot rappers And remember That they can’t sell No more Partridge Family dreams To the homeland
