  • Methamphetamine by Old Crow Medicine Show

    Times, they ain’t like nothing they used to be

    From rocky mount’ to northeast Tennessee

    Where the river flows with a dusty, coal disease

    And the babies whine cause they can’t find nothing to eat

    But, mama, she ain’t hungry no more

    She’s waiting for a knock on the trailer door

    [Chorus]

    It’s gonna rock you like a hurricane

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you lose sleep

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you’re out of a job

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you’re out on the street

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you’re down on your knees

    It’s gonna have you begging pretty please

    It’s gonna rock you like a hurricane

    Methamphetamine

    Don’t need no PhD for a hundred dollar card

    Just find a crooked cop and that doctor disregard

    Cause when it’s either the mine or the Kentucky national guard

    Um, I’d rather sell him a line than to be dying in the coal yard

    Now, papa, he ain’t hungry no more

    He’s waiting for a knock on the trailer door

    [Chorus]

    Well, it’s a war out there, and it’s fought by poor white men

    From the plateau to the falls of the Cumberland

    You better watch your back, cause you just can’t trust a friend

    And the method man is going to get you in the end

    So listen to the whispering wind

    It sounds like a big storm rolling in

    It’s gonna rock you like a hurricane

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you lose sleep

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you’re out of a job

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you’re out on the street

    It’s gonna rock you 'til you’re down on your knees

    It’s gonna have you begging pretty please

    It’s gonna rock you like a hurricane

    Methamphetamine







  • Exactly… adapted for a wider audience.

    Dad kept the scifi magazines with Azimovs original short stories. Azimov was a very prolific writer. Dad also had many Tales from Gore. The book shelves literally slumped from the weight. I didn’t fully appreciate the monumental amount of concentrated history I was engulfed in…in my own house. An entire wall of books, magazines, journals(medical, philosophical, anthropological, linguistic, almanacs, etc etc.)

    Grew up… realized some of the things I missed out on. Didn’t sleep on The Well World Series by Chalker though…lol
