Passing through Portland
Eugene Oregon
Bought me some lunch and now I’m poor again
Would someone come on and lend a hand
Moving onto the golden state
Got to get over that golden gate
San Francisco is calling my name
Are you made in America
Are these times scaring you
Because they should
Probably do you some good
Take me please to Los Angeles
I’ve been running away trying to find some peace
Ever since the day my flyer went and flew away from me
Loneliness is the smell of her dress
After she’s left me all a mess
And I don’t have the strength to carry on
Yeah, I’ll be made in America
Yeah, these times are scaring you
Because they should
Probably do you some good
And we’ll be made in America
Are these times scaring you
Because they should
Probably do us all some good
Judging by the current state
Of things we do and what we create
Like decisions to imprison and chain down those we should love
But if things were different
Then they might not feel the same
And though everything changes
Some memories can remain
The Shivas deliver a set of righteous three-chord wonders with a mean streak that will always be to the tastes of a certain doomy subset of ‘60s rock fans. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 29, 2019
