Carbona, Not Glue Lyrics
I've been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of Carbona Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray too
Mom and pop wanna put me away
From the early morning movie to the late late show
After it's over nowhere to go
My brain is stuck from shooting glue
I'm not sorry for the things I do
Carbona not glue
my mom got me the cd for christmas years ago. she almost didn't get it, though 'cause she was afraid that this song would teach me bad habits. muahahahahaha!
Except that it was in America that it was originally censored. Besides we have nothing but censorship in the US. Have you listened to radio lately? Tell Don Imus or Howard Stern or who is it, Opie and Anthony, that there is no censorship here. On TV you can see actual medical procedures like surgery with all the blood and guts or you can see simulations of murders and rapes, but you can't see half a nipple or the word "shit" on TV.
Carbona was a spot remover/dry cleaning fluid for home use sold until the 90's, with similar effects to glue when inhaled. The company sued Sire Records to have the song removed from copies of The Ramones "Leave Home" LP. Great song.
I had never heard it until I got the new CDs recently re-released. That song came on and it surprised me.
Really good song. Carbona is obiously stronger than glue, hence the line "Carbona not glue".
this song is so great and simple i'm suprised more people haven't written about it
def 'bout carbona... & it's effects...
def 'bout carbona... & it's effects...
This song caused a lot of controversy because kids in Germany were sniffing glue because of the Ramones. That's why it was taken off of the original print of the album. It's awesome we finally got to hear it!
my mum freaks out when i play this song. so then i have to play it as often as i can :)
i think it's funny. love the part "It's TV's fault why I am this way " . it always make me laugh.
