Lyrics

We were bored, there was nothing going on
Might as well stay at home and drink until we pass out again
Then drink some more when the morning comes
Memphis was sinking into the mississippi
We were doing our best just to ride it down
Till the night g.g. allin came to town
"Honey, I dont believe this,"
The old man at ferguson's cafe kept saying to his wife
As he read aloud the memphis star and their account of what went down that night
"It says he took a shit on the stage and started throwing it into the crowd
But he was gone before the cops could come and shut him down."
Gone before the shit came down
The night g.g. allin came to town
The night g.c. allin came to town
Antenna club, memphis, 1991
Punk rockers paid $12.00 to be shit on!
The night g.g. allin came to town
"It says he took the microphone and shoved it up his ass!"
The old man and his wife were aghast
The night g.g. allin came to town
The night g.g. allin came to town
