Doors and Fours

In L.A. Basin heroin was so passé

We had to find something cheaper

And not so far from West L.A

We were all looking for a high different and new

When dope was hard to get, Codeine 4 and Doriden would have to do

On doors and fours we take our chance

White punks on dope‚ perfect romance

On doors and fours in '83

When we got loaded taking loads we'd all OD eventually

Was there a killer or did Jordan Hiller just have a death wish ?

His parents didn't need to find their oldest son cold as a fish

When loads were finding the roads to Beverly Hills

Heroin and PCP were a safer bet compared to those six pills

On doors and fours we never knew

Which one of us was turning blue

Why wasn't anybody scared?

'Cause we were teenagers on loads - so no one really fucking cared!

On doors and fours‚ I'm on all fours - on doors and fours

On doors and fours‚ I'm on all fours - on doors and fours

On doors and fours, I'm on all fours - on doors and fours!

Another good friend's heart explodes

'Cause all the punks are doing loads

While we're all still taking our loads

'Cause all the punks are doing loads

Our arteries and veins corrode

'Cause all the punks are doing loads

Los Angeles' punk scene slowly erodes

'Cause all the punks are doing loads

We lived on violent apathy

This was L.A. in '83

Straight out of the Hills of Beverly

Old L.A. punks will never die from old age - 'cause they all OD!
