Journey To The End Of The East Bay Lyrics
Reconcile to the belief
Consumed in sacred ground for me
There wasn't always a place to go
But there was always an urgent need to belong, yeah
All these bands and all these people, all these frieds and we were equals
But what you gonna do when everyone goes on without you
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
Started in '87 ended in '89, you got a garage or an amp, we'll play anytime
It was just the four of us, yea the core of us ,too much attention unavoidably destroyed us
Four kids on tour three thousand miles in a four door car not knowing what was going
Years it would turn out like this
Hell, no no preminition could have seen for
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
My friend came from far away, from New Orleans into the East Bay
He said this is a Mecca
I said: "This ain't no mecca, man, this place is fucked"
Three months go by he had no home, he had no food, he was all alone
Matty said: "Fool me once. shame on you"
He said: "Fool me twice, he went back to New Orleans"
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
this song is about how operation ivy came to be and how widley they impacted the punk sceen and the demise of operation ivy
well this song is great it is about operation ivy breaking up
Great song summing up the late operation ivy... Why hasn't anyone posted on the rancid lyrics?
interesting third verse summing up the attitude of outsiders to the east bay punk scene, and it was great of the guys to remind everyone of operation ivy, great song. J.
this song seems to be more about closure rather than the greatness of operation ivy. tim reflects about his previous band and asks himself what went wrong with such a great thing. he doesnt glorify operation ivy so much as he describes the foolishness of the group of kids that tried to take on the world. their mixed feelings of ambition and exhaustion as their fans became more and more demanding were part of what drove the band apart. tim seems to look back his earlier days with mixed emotions and realize the lessons to be learned
No NO nO....the song is aobut the hourney to the end of there FRIENDSHIP and the verse "Started in '87 ended in '89, you got a garage or an amp, we'll play anytime
It was just the four of us, yea the core of us ,too much attention unavoidably destroyed us" os all about opt ivy....i really liked the band......i didnt know them then cuz i was just born when they started and i was 2 when they ended! so dont know much about them!
this is probably one of my favorite rancid song's....but then again, they are all great. it is a song that you can sing along to
agreed, this is a great song, about opt ivy, another great band which will go down in thee history books of us all
yeah, this song is about Operation Ivy...Kick ass band!
so what are sum other good songs by rancid?
