Got some free advice the other day
From an older relative of mine
He said, I dig what you do
But I think you’re wasting your time
Cause driving around, getting drunk with your friends in a van every night
Sounds like a lotta fun, but you need a plan B, cause it ain’t gonna last long past twenty one
You’ll never make enough money
And no one cares about the things you say
You’re gonna wake up someday
And you’ll wish you got a job
Spend half your life in that Chevrolet
Driving up and down the freeway
Someday when you’re too old to play
Yeah, you’ll wish you got a job
I bummed a cigarette from a guy in Manhattan last week
I told him politely, thank you
Then with this hollowed out look, he turned to me and said
You know for twenty five years I’ve been a banker
In all my many years of life, I suddenly feel obliged to impart to you one free piece of advice
You must invest in your future, I said thanks for the cigarette but I think I know the rest
(Or) You’ll never make enough money
And no one cares about the things you say
You’re gonna wake up someday
And you’ll wish you got a job
Spend half your life in that Chevrolet
Driving up and down the freeway
Someday when you’re too old to play
Yeah, you’ll wish you got a job
Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different.
Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko
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
On this Spaghetti Western soundtrack minus the movie, LA surf band Trabants pay tribute to iconic scores of 60s Italian exploitation films. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2018
