Journey To The End Of The East Bay lyrics

Song information

Artist: Rancid
Album: ...And Out Come The Wolves

Lyrics

Reconcile to the belief
Consumed in sacred ground for me
There wasn't always a place to go
But there was always an urgent need to belong yeah

All these bands and all these people
All these friends and we were equals but
What you gonna do when everybody goes on without you?

Chorus
To the end to the end I'll journey to the end

Started in 87 ended in 89
Got a garage or an amp we'll play anytime
It was just the 4 of us, yeah man the core of us
Too much attention unavoidably destroyed us
4 kids on tour, 3000 miles in a 4-door car not know what was goin' on
We got a million years
Tourin' out like this hell
No no premonition coulda seen this

Chorus

Matty came from far away
From new orleans into the east bay
He said "this is a mecca"
I said "this ain't no mecca man, this place's fucked!"
3 months go by, he had no home, he had no food, he's all alone
Matty said fool me once shame on you he said fool me twice
He went back to new orleans

Chorus
