a little Social Distortion for you
still rocking after all these years. More polished, but I really like their newest album.

Reach For The Sky

When I was young I was invincible
I found myself not thinking twice
I never thought about no future
It's just a roll of the dice


But the day men come when you've got something to lose
And just when you think you're done paying dues
You say to yourself 'Dear, God What have I Done?'
And hope its not to late cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Yesterday is history
And tomorrow is a mystery
But I'm leaving right now
It's just about how its you and me

You can run you can hide
Just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky
I ain't never gonna die
And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found
And hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

So if you please take this moment
Try if you can to make it last
Don't think about no future
And just forget about the past
And make it last

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never coming down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)

1. cool
Thanks for posting that. Mr. Cedahlia is a huge Social D/Mike Ness fan, but I think he forgot they have a new album out...I'll have to remind him to buy it! :-)

4. I haven't bought one for a long time
I have tapes of theirs from the 80s.

2. Sirius Alt Nation has this in heavy rotation.
I just picked up the full album on Tues. I never expected anything more after Dennis Dannell's death. I'm glad they're back, though.

SD got me through High School.

3. Oh Hell yeah! Been listenin to Social D since '83
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in-
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet-
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way


Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain

Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life-
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife-
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there-
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere



Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room-
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since half past noon-
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail-
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail-
