The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAfter Party


The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "After the Music Is Over" from While We're at It (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary:
"After the music is over,
After the lights are all out,
After the damage that's been done,
Is something we don't think about.
What's left and what's not been forgotten,
We lose just a little each year,
Something went wrong and was rotten,
Some wish that they were never here.

"The wrath cut a path of such sorrow,
So sad and so abrupt,
Tell God we can't let it corrupt,
Any hope we have left for tomorrow.

"The final and the very last bastion,
Hold on tight to every shred that still exists,
Remember all the pain and all the passion,
Fight on with your hard head and fists!

"After the music is over,
When what needs to be's been said,
After the tears have all been shed,
When it's over, what is after that?…

"After the music's over, we will hear the music once again,
After the music's over, we will hear the music again."
