History Lesson - Part II Lyrics
our band could be your life
real names'd be proof
me and mike watt played for years
punk rock changed our lives
we learned punk rock in hollywood
drove up from pedro
we were fucking corndogs
we'd go drink and pogo
mr. narrator
this is bob dylan to me
my story could be his songs
i'm his soldier child
our band is scientist rock
but i was e. bloom and richard hell,
joe strummer, and john doe
me and mike watt, playing guitar
real names'd be proof
me and mike watt played for years
punk rock changed our lives
drove up from pedro
we were fucking corndogs
we'd go drink and pogo
this is bob dylan to me
my story could be his songs
i'm his soldier child
but i was e. bloom and richard hell,
joe strummer, and john doe
me and mike watt, playing guitar

This song has such an honest emotional identity at its core. It hit me like a tonne of bricks when I first heard it come out of nowhere at about the midway point of 'Double Nickels on the Dime'.
classic theres a small clip of this song at the beginning of Sublimes "Waiting for my Ruca" "punk rock changed our lives"
great song
indeed. Great when campfire
san pedros the best place to live ever. such a great chillout song
born and raised in pedro!

The first time I heard this, I could not possibly have heard the line "We were fucking corn dogs" any more clearly.
And yet, I immediately asked myself "Did I really hear that correctly?"
So I looked the lyrics up, and indeed my senses and brain were not misleadingly they way they did when I thought Jimi sang " 'Scuze me while I kiss this guy".
Not that there's anything wrong with it.
I'm almost afraid to find out but I have to ask, what does that line mean?

i think the "fucking" is just there for emphasis, basically he's saying that back then they were losers. fair to say anybody who's not au fait with 80s slang could be misled by that line, lol !
