No More Ramones

ramone

Chuck Ts are made in China

Dee Dee is long gone

Hippie’s kids have trust funds

I’m drinking coffee at dawn

When I learn that there are

No more Ramones.

 

College friends with cancer

Trying to survive

They have a fighting chance now

But it ate Johnny alive

And then we learn that there are

No more Ramones.

 

“I don’t want to grow up!”

Joey, skinny as a mic stand

Shouting like he means it

But you can’t fight the hand

Of time when it teaches you that are

No more Ramones.

 

Tommy: the last one lays it down

The crash of noise is still

So I turn up my headphones

For that final punk rock thrill

Before I will accept that there are

No more Ramones

No more Ramones

No more Ramones

No more Ramones

Count us out, Marky…

FOUR THREE TWO ONE

Goddamnit

There

Are

No

More

Ramones.
