[00:12.48]Me and my friends are like
[00:15.32]the drums on "Lust for Life"
[00:18.07]we pound it out on floor toms
[00:21.01]our psalms are sing-a-long songs
[00:24.05]
[00:26.99]And this whole town is like this
[00:29.84]and now we all haul ashes
[00:32.30]work at the mill until you die
[00:35.38]work at the mill and then you die
[00:38.98]
[00:40.80]we're gonna build something this summer
[00:44.34](gonna build something this summer)
[00:46.87]we'll put it back together
[00:49.29]raise up a giant ladder
[00:52.16]with love and trust and friends and hammers
[00:55.69](this summer)
[00:56.95]
[00:57.85]We're gonna lean this ladder
[01:00.65]up against the water tower
[01:03.12]climb up to the top and drink and talk
[01:06.95](this summer)
[01:08.07]
[01:08.98]Me and my friends are like
[01:11.89]'doublewhiskeycokenoice'
[01:14.72]we drink along in double time
[01:17.46]I drink too much, but we feel fine
[01:20.29]
[01:22.94]We're gonna build something this summer
[01:27.06](gonna build something this summer)
[01:28.93]summer grant us all the power
[01:31.43]to drink on top of water towers
[01:34.04]with love and trust that shows all summer
[01:39.42]let this be my annual reminder
[01:42.80]that we can all be something bigger
[01:47.10]
[01:56.90]I went to your schools
[01:58.17]I did my detention but the walls are so grey I couldn't pay attention
[02:02.54]I read the gospel it moved me to tears
[02:05.19]but I couldn't mind the hate and couldn't find the fear
[02:07.99]I met your savior I knelt at his feet
[02:10.61]and he took my ten bucks and went down the street
[02:13.64]tried to believe all the things you said
[02:16.45]my friends that aren't dying are already dead
[02:19.06]
[02:19.91]Raise a toast to saint Joe Strummer
[02:25.07]I think he might have been our only decent teacher
[02:31.00]getting older only makes it harder to remember
[02:37.48]we are our only saviors
[02:40.20]we're gonna build something this summer
