Schwa Lyrics

Bone

Lyricist: Ed McGee
Vocalist: Ed McGee

Attitude rampant, New York style club,
all the pretty girls on the ugly drugs,
all the yuppie boys who think they own the place,
not a single smile on any face.
	Knock me down and you don't care.
	Ash your camel in my hair.
	But you can't laugh, you can't have fun
	or you won't fit in with anyone.

But I know folks who ain't that way.
I'd love to see them everyday,
but sometimes I can't get through,
so, man, it's good to see you.
I know people who are not afraid to smile.
And being friendly's still in style.
And I got friends who let their spirits run completely wild.
You would be wise to maybe try it for a while.

All your damn cologne is choking me.
Your unfriendly words are aimed carefully.
You take a look at me and roll your eyes.
You call me names while your make-up dries.
	Knock me down and you don't care.
	Ash your camel in my hair.
	But you can't laugh, you can't have fun
	or you won't fit in with anyone.

But I know folks who ain't that way.
I'd love to see them everyday,
but sometimes I can't get through,
so, man, it's good to see you.
I know people who are not afraid to smile.
And being happy's still in style.
And I got friends who let their spirits run completely wild.
You would be wise to maybe try it for a while.

I know I seem a bit judgemental
and I'd be a hypocrite to say
that with all my soul I hate them
if I hate their hateful way.
So I'm apologizing slightly,
please excuse my harsh tone.
Just seems they've always got a bone to pick with me,
and I always tell 'em -- I got your bone.

	Knock me down and you don't care.
	Ash your camel in my hair.
	You'd buy a tan to spite the sun.
	You'd take a bullet just to hold the gun.
