Beat City Lyrics
Wanna hang with girls and shoot my gun
Wanna catch the rays off the sun
Wanna drink and drive and have some fun
You can't come with me 'cause you're just too slow
Inject the stars make them glow
Put up a fight and put on a show
Wanna die in Beat City
Wanna die in Beat City
Wanna die in Beat City
The ending of this song, and the album, is really crazy. it is like their guitars are just going crazy and so they just pull the plug on them one by one, then all the music is gone.
i'm not really sure what the meaning is, but i'm guessing beat refers to the beat generation. the guy in this band evidently looks to kerouac for writing purposes. he has a tattoo of kerouacs face on his arm i think. so yeah.
I agree with blu_n59, I love the ending. it's like the just make a whole bunch of noise, and then, it just stops. perfect ending.
i love the way the last blast of feedback fades out, like the power was just suddenly cut from their massive amplifiers. Beautiful noise.
There's definately a serious nod to the Beat culture here, so fed up and bored with the straight- laced mainstream that they're almost ready to tear everything down just to start with something fresh and new and pure. Going to Beat City is going to where all the cool, hip and "in the know" people are. "Martini's are for squares, daddy-oh".
