Wreckage

This is off of the first Rollins Band album, "Lifetime." Here, Hank and the boys are in the year 1988. Not sure of the location, but I believe this is right after Theo Van Rock got involved.

Chris Haskett- guitar
Andrew Weiss- bass
Sim Cain- drums
Henry Rollins- throat

This is the only version of this song that I can even find on teh internets..... and it's on youtube, go figure......





I take a look around me and it makes me mad
Another friend of mine in rehab
Try to pull himself from a plastic bag
He's calling from the Halfway House he says he's doing fine
Says he got himself out just in time
Says his friends would have let him turn blue and die

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes and crawls away
You gotta take it on the Black Train, Jack
You can't even feel the fire burning your back

Her boyfriend left her broken and alone
She took some pills and crawled to the death zone
Her mother found her just in time
She strapped to a bed in psych ward doin' fine
Aww girl, what happened, what happened, what happened to you
What's going on? What's going on?

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes and crawls away
You're walking hand in hand with a death trip
You can't even feel the power in it's grip

Sometimes I wanna take you by your shoulders and shake you
You've got to open your eyes, man, how long will it take you
Running through life blind, man, what a waste
Shot down and neutralized, man, what a case
What happened, what happened to you?
What's going on? What's going on with you?

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes an crawls away
You've got to take it on the Black Train, Jack
You can't even feel the fire on your back

I don't wanna die in the wreckage
Don't wanna go blind in the wreck-age
Don't wanna go down in the wreck-age
Don't wanna get stuck in the wreck-age
Sometimes it's all I can see
The wreckage is all around me
The human wreckage, the human wreck-age
To you, I say goodbye
goodbye-
goodbye-
goodbye-
goodbye-
bye-bye----
bye-bye-----------------
