Demolition 23. The Scum Lives On

Well my misery's without company

My partners in crime have been taken from me

We used to laugh about our legacy

Couldn't get arrested on mtv

Johnny thunders was a new york doll

He cared so much he didn't care at all

Stiv Bator went to catholic school

Turned his sins into something cool

And the scum lives on

All my friends are gone

Why they gotta die so young

And the scum lives on

Brian jones and Keith moon had style

Bon Scott was a problem child

Rob Tyner bugged the f.b.i.

Was Abbie hoffman really suicide?

And the scum lives on

All my friends are gone

Why they gotta die so young

And the scum lives on

Jesse helms' gonna live forever

Jimmy swaggart's gonna live forever

Dan Quayle's gonna live forever

Ronald reagan already lived forever

Reverend donald wildmon will live forever

Rush limbaugh's gonna live forever

All the politician's gonna live forever

Nixon taught them all how to live forever

I'd hate to think it's conspiracy

No one's left who makes sense to me

The immoral majority adding insult to my injury

And the scum lives on

All my friends are gone

Why they gotta die so young

And the scum lives on
