The Rebel Black Dot Summer Song of the Day

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Wasted Summers" from Pin Points and Gin Joints (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: Did you take advantage of this cruel, hot summer? Was it distinct from the long, hard fall; the dark, killing winter; and the replenishing spring? Or was summer of a piece with the rest of the year, just hotter & sunnier?
"The summers make no difference now,
But that winter sure was hard.

"They took you on and took you under,
A nice new haircut and a number,
Here comes another wasted summer,
On and on it goes,
That's the way it goes!
That's the way it goes!
That's the way it goes!

"How is your head when you go to bed at night?
Does your money help you sleep?
And am I right that it still might not be enough?
Just ask the company you keep.

"Here comes another wasted summer,
Here comes another wasted summer,
Here comes another wasted summer,
On and on it goes,
That's the way it goes!
That's the way it goes!
That's the way it goes!
That's the way it goes,
On and on it goes."
