I was 6-years old
In kindergarden when my parents got divorced
It was the first time i hear the 'C' word
Standing there on the porch
Then we all went back inside
We turn the radio way up high
We hoping for some better times
Kurt Kobain said whatever nevermind we were listening to
I was 10-years old and I woke up for school and
I made my bed
Around the time Billy Korgain woar silver pants and he shaved his head
Then
I heard them yell downstairs
'Not another morning with a fight down there!'
I turn my radio up all the way
And Billy said today is the greatest day I think its safe to say
Alternative Radio...
I was 12 with a weazel shirt
And a girlfriend we were in love
I mean we never spoke to one another
But we wrote each other notes and stuff
(We didn't fuck)
After school
She handed me one
It said 'were done' and it broke my world
On the school bus
I heard a weazel song and it said
'God damn who had japanese girls'
She wasn't japanese but still
15 years old getting drunk at my homeboy's ZackB
(ZackB)
We were quite fucked up on absulote vodka and we listened
To the Pixes
(ZackB)
And later on I was vomitting
That's when his mom walked in
(Oh shit!)
I got grounded for quite a long time
I would do a little hungover
Where's my mind but the
Alternative Radio(Saved my) ...
I was 24 years old
When I had the offspring of my own
I miss her when I'm out on tour
Singing interstate love songs so I called home on the phone
She says 'I miss you too'
I said loven is what I got
I said 'Remember that' Its a bitter sweet sympthony
When you think of me
But in a few days and I'll be back
And we can listen to
Alternative Radio (Saved My) ...
I never quit getting lit like my own
Worse enemy Eddie Verdery till I'm 70
(Saved My life)
Now I'm an ageing fool I played in school
But raging tool made me cool to save my.
