The last part of a half hour long song that we wrote as Broke People Dreaming. Used to have four or five other people playing, singing and rapping, but it still lives on.
Was recording at Psychotropic Sounds with Bryce when I realized I forgot all about the song. Hadn't played it in at least months, if not a year.. Can't remember.. but I remembered it was a song, and I was recording the album. So, first try, there it went and here it is.
Funked up on the last part... See back then, it was, "Fuck you and thank you I'll repeat sincerely!"... Well in my later years I go between the two. But there's supposed to be a chant "I Love (Fuck) you and thank you!" many times. And then say "Oh we're out of booze, need to run to the L Q, so we'll sing this song for you, B double E double R U N, BEERRUN!".
And now you know :)
Played since 2010
lyrics
Well as I walk these streets, of Milwaukee.
Well as I walk these streets of old Milwaukee
Gonna get a little drunk,
Gonna get a little funky.
I play with nouns and verbs all day,
Smoke on herbs, shake to reggae and I say
“Man, these times are great.”
And this white line’s a phase
and this mind’s a craze
that’s well past half-insane.
That’s what bad past will bring.
Scratch that, I’ve had a rad cast of friends,
Never cast nor lens
Bad back but it still
It still twists and it bends.
Lack of sins I’d like to think
I like to think that I’m on the brink
of sensation.
I find it funny, that I find it funny
That I find it funny, that I find it funny.
at all these little things people do and say
each and everyday to me
It’s all a game they play,
To all make you all feel so insane
And it’s all the same to me man,
It’s all insane to me,
and it’s all
The same to me.
It’s all the same to me
It’s all insane to me
It’s all the same to me
It’s all insane to me.
It’s all the same to me
It’s all insane to me
It’s all the same and insane as I am
The crazy man.
it’s all the same and insane as I am
The crazy man
It’s all the same and insane as I am
It’s all the same and all insane and all the same.
I find it funny that we’re all the same.
I find it funny that we’re all insane.
Well I find it funny that I find it funny that I find it funny
I find it funny that I find it funny
And I find it funny that I find it funny
That we are all the same and insane
You can’t reach the steeple
if you surround yourself with people
who bring you down
and drag you down to that point
of no control.
I’m doin’ the best I can with what I have
I do this for the people who can’t.
I’m doin’ the best I can with what I have.
I do this for those people who can’t
I’m doin’ the best I can with what I have
This is for all our family and friends.
Well I’m doin’ the best I can with what I have.
This is for all those,
decomposing in land.
Oh Katie,
Twenty-six hours spent at the Odyssey,
Hopped up on booze, caffeine, nicotine, amphetamine
And all that THC
Well I still have the memory of when we were we,
That’s why I do this more for you and not for me.
Well I still have the memory of when we were we,
That’s why I do this more for you and not for me.
Well I still have the memory of when we were we,
That’s why I do this more for you and not for me.
Well I still have the memory of when we were we,
Back when we could see and believe.
When you were alive and everything was fine,
But now your dead and all that’s left is me.
And it’s all in the way
That the breeze hits your face.
And it’s all in the way,
That the sun shares it’s rays
And it’s all in the way
That the breeze hits your face.
Well all I wanna do is smoke a bowl
and take it slow.
Officer oh officer oh no.
What gives you the right to take control
over something that is not yours.
And so I said to this man with a badge.
“My mind and my eyes are mine to bind.
My mind is tied to my third eye
And my ears, and my tears, and my fears are right here.
My mind and my eyes are mine to bind.
My mind is tied to my third eye
And this fear is just a feeling,
Embrace it.”
Well all I wanna do is take a pull from this bottle
And let it flow through my veins.
Officer oh officer oh
Are you in pain, insane livin’ in vain.
Is that why you are constantly
takin’ it out on me?
And so I said again to this man with a badge,
“My mind and my eyes are mine to bind.
My mind is tied to my third eye,
And my ears, and my tears, and my fears are right here.
My mind and my eyes are mine to bind,
My mind is tied to my third eye
and this fear is just a feeling
Don’t deface it,
Rather embrace it”
Without you I wouldn’t be me,
so “fuck you and thank you”
I’ll repeat sincerely
Without you I wouldn’t be me
so “I love you and thank you”
I’ll repeat sincerely.
Without you I wouldn’t be me
so “fuck you and thank you”
I’ll repeat sincerely.
Without you I wouldn’t be me
so “I love you and thank you”
I’ll repeat sincerely
I love you and thank you
I love you and thank youu
I love you and thank you
I love you and thank youuuu
I love you and thank you
I love you and thank youu
Cause without you,
I wouldn’t be me,
So “I love you and thank you”
I’ll repeat sincerely!
“High, looks like we’re outta booze”
“Awhh shoots, gonna have to run to the LQ”
“So we’ll sing a song for you”
B double E double R U N
BEER-RUN
B double E double R U N
BEER-RUN, BEER run run run
B double E double R U N
B double E double R U N
B double E double R U N
BEER-RUN, BEER-RUN
BEER RUN.
