Last week I used a lyric from the song Thrash Unreal by Against Me!. Since then, I've received a gazillion hits (yes, I counted) from people who are looking for song lyrics. Obviously, those people got hosed as my post was about giving rides to weird trailer trash girls who were walking home from threesomes, and not about the lyrics to the song. Anyway, here's my attempt to make that up to those gazillion people.
Here are the lyrics to the song followed by the video (you might want to play it as you read along so you can see if I've got it right):
If she wants to dance and drink all night
Well there's no-one that can stop her
She's going 'til the house lights come up
Or her stomach spills onto the floor
This night is gonna' end
When we're damn well ready for it be over
What's all week long
Now the music is playing on our time
Yeah we do what we do to get by
And then we need a release
Ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da
You're getting mixed up with the wrong guys
You're getting messed up on the wrong drugs
Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn't really plan on goin'
When people see the track marks on her arm
She knows what they're thinking
She keeps on working for that minimum
As if your high school education gave you any other options
You know, they don't know nothing about redemption
They don't know nothing about recovery
Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to sleep alone
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to sleep alone
She's out of step with the style
She don't know where the action's happening
You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be
You reach a point where there's not a lie in the world
That you could use to make the boys believe you're still in your twenties (?)
They keep getting younger don't they baby
She's not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege
She can still hear the rebel yell just as loud as it was in 1983
You know there ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her
And she doesn't care
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to sleep alone
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to be a junkie
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to sleep alone
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna' grow up to be a junkie
And if she had to live it all over again
You know she wouldn't change anything for the world

Aw, your good deed for the day!
As one of the people who was looking for lyrics (though I might add that I was not actually looking for the lyrics, but rather trying to figure out who sang the song) I can that I was not "hosed" by your trailer park whore threesome party story, but actually quite entertained.
Thanks for that.
I'd say thanks for the lyrics, but since I wasn't looking for them in the first place I guess thanks for giving me the bands name...

thanks, i spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out who sings that song and typing in a partial lyric led me here. Thank you.
I feel obligated to read your blog now, hope it's good!
You're almost spot on with the lyrics...Except in the second verse where you put 'what's all week long' is actually supposed to be 'WORKED all week long'...and where you have the (?) after the word twenties i think you just put the conjunction 'but' there.
GREAT JOB THOUGH.
Thanks for the info! Yes, I stumpled upon your blog by typing in partial lyrics. Paaaaace.
Well, thanks to you I can can now listen to the song on repeat until my ears begin to bleed...
And I think I take the cake...I could not remember any lyrics, the title, the band....for about 3 weeks...All I had were a few beats that I vaguely recall being similar to this song...I had to type in something like "lyrics about a girl partying all night...whore..blah blah" and eventually I was reminded of a line..then I landed here...and yes, that entry was quite entertaining.
Again...Thank YOU!!
Technology truly has become one with our daily lives, and I can say with 99% certainty that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.

Oh darn, I so gave this song a better meaning than it had!
Thanks for the lyrics, although it really ruined the sense of that song for me!!!!!
