  • Our band could be your life
    Real names'd be proof
    Me and Mike Watt, we played for years
    Punk rock changed our lives

    We learned punk rock in Hollywood
    Drove up from Pedro
    We were fucking corn dogs
    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 the guitar Writer/s: Mike Watt
    Publisher: BMG Rights Management
