Roots Radicals

[Verse 1: Lars Frederiksen]
Took the 60 bus
Out of downtown Campbell
Ben Zanotto, he was on there
He was waitin' for me
All the punk rockers
And the moon stompers
Are out on the corners where
They're sparin' for change
I started thinkin'
You know I started drinkin'
You know I don't remember too much of that day
Somethin' struck me funny when we ran out of money
Where do you go now, when you're only fifteen?

[Pre-Chorus: Lars Frederiksen]
With the music execution and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me and it goes

[Chorus]
Give 'em the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot
The roots reggae on my stereo

[Verse 2: Tim Armstrong]
The radio was playin'
Desmond Dekker was singin'
On the 43 bus as we climb up the hill
Nothin' in common but the reggae drummin'
And we all come from unlovin' homes
(I said) "Why even bother?" and I picked up a bottle
Mr. bus driver, please let these people on
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothin' wrong

[Pre-Chorus: Lars Frederiksen]
With the music execution and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me and it goes

[Chorus]
Give 'em the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot
The roots reggae on my stereo

[Bridge]
On my stereo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3: Lars Frederiksen & Tim Armstrong]
Took the 60 bus
Out of downtown Campbell
Ben Zanotto, he was on there
He was waitin' for me
All the punk rockers
And the moon stompers
Are out on the corners where
They're sparin' for change
Yeah, the radio was playin'
Desmond Dekker was singin'
On the 43 bus as we climb up the hill
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothin' wrong

[Pre-Chorus: Lars Frederiksen]
With the music execution and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me and it goes

[Chorus]
Give 'em the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot
The roots reggae on my stereo
Give 'em the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot
The roots reggae on my stereo
