Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin' how this younger generation swings.

Rock on!

Support Your Local Ska Band
support your local ska band
even though they just may stink
support them just by what the real musicians just may think

SYLSB no i didnt say LSD
throw away your PCP
and get the hell away from me
when everything should be ok
but it never ever seems to work out that way
CHORUS
