Grieving Soto A man that we were all privileged to know Why'd you have to be the first Adolescent to go? There would have been so many less people cryin' Had it been Rikk, Alfie, Frank, Casey, or even Derek O'Brien I'm so grateful that before your end I told you how you're my hero and my treasured friend Bobby Pin, never told anyone he hustled for Paul Lynn Or that the Black Beauties he took were empty shells He clearly knew what image sells The beard he grew was Michelle Bells To be so charismatic, thought he had to play the addict Was his suicide from drugs cause the LA punks were violent homophobic thugs? Mike Burkett Don't put me in this song I'm not dead yet I'm just singing this to make sure you don't forget to be cautious More respectful, less obnoxious, cause you've been getting hated Making the cool things that you've done in your life negated Cause now musicians aren't supposed to take positions or protest our shit conditions And yes, we should all feel violated cause our scene's getting castrated and annihilated GG used to be the most hated, then Ben, now it's me Cause I guess I say things insensitively Now all the great bands who got bigger Wouldn't dare to sing words that Exene, Patty, and Penelope sang with vigor We all know that Jesus Christ was a figment that must have had A lot of pigment in his skin. Cause he was a Semitic Egyptian didn't you know? But if there was there ever gonna be a resurrection I prefer that it was Steve Soto
