Into the Red Lyrics
Into the red, the hippie dream is dead
Like a light bulb blowin' a fuse inside my head
Gimme some speed to bum
Don't wanna wait my my turn
And now the party's over but not a lesson learnt
Into the red
I'm going out of my head
Gotta go now but i'll never slow down
When the world outside is red
Into the red
Into the red, the sixties dream is dead
Like a low down juvenile getting high instead
Gimme some speed to bum
Don't wanna wait my my turn
And now the party's over but not a lesson learnt
Like a light bulb blowin' a fuse inside my head
Gimme some speed to bum
Don't wanna wait my my turn
And now the party's over but not a lesson learnt
I'm going out of my head
Gotta go now but i'll never slow down
When the world outside is red
Into the red
Like a low down juvenile getting high instead
Gimme some speed to bum
Don't wanna wait my my turn
And now the party's over but not a lesson learnt
I think it's pretty obvious what this song is about. In the 60's drugs were thought of as something that would enlighten and bring about a greater sense of everything around you, physically, spiritually, whatever. Nowadays it's just about kids getting lit and laughing at cartoons.
