in honor of the song
(and a bit of me having too much time)
lyrics to the song!

I met a kid in brooklyn and he pointed at the sky
he had liquor on his breath and he had fire in his eyes
he staggered at me stumbled and i helped him to his feet
i led him up the stairs and sat upon his balcony
he weilded up his glass and waved it 'round just like a sword
but one more sw--d(?) of whiskey left me feeling pretty bold/bored(?)
he said "i'd rather take dead aim then shoot my pitsol in the air.
i'd rather be a traitor then a man who doesn't care."
uh uh ahhhh
then a man who doesn't care
uh ahhhhhh
i met a girl in ithica she took to me at once
i looked just like her brother who had died when she was young
she whispered me her secrets and she whispered me her fear
and said so many things that i would never wanna hear
she try to draw me in just like a sickness in the soul
and said "my lil' confident together we must go."
if they ask you for your papers disrespectfully decline
it's true that i was born here but this country isn't mine
uh uh ahhhh
this country isn't mine
uh ahhhhhh

chorus
so listen well son to conversation
and always take from the words of the people that you meet
if you do this
bear in witness you might help a little still

and out in california with an old dear friend
we drank expensive burbon and we tried to talk again
he looked down at his watch and ran a hand across his head
said "i'm working in the morning. man i got to get to bed"
i nodded "yes, ofcourse" and i was happy to oblige
and we both took one more sip before the green wide open skies
he said " one thing i remember every evening in these hills. the sun may set on friendship but never on your bills."
uh uh ahhhh
but never on your bills
ohhhh...(ohh)...(ohh)

chorus

i did this just from memory and singing along to it right now so ofcourse
there's room for error
hopefully i didn't butcher it and my BA Fan credentials are taken away
but yeah lovely song and really lovely lyrics!
i haven't listen to a song and written (type) the lyrics down in quite awhile!
