"Last Light Radio 11:41 PM" lyrics - SHOOTER JENNINGS

[Spoken:]
As I've been cleaning up around here
I've been thinking about the ten plus years I've spent talking to you every night
I've got the original microphone
From when I used to broadcast from a pirate station
Not way up there where the air is rare
But from the filthy basement with poodles of ooze on the floor

And I used to rap into that mike, that's what we called it, "rapping"
With my God-damned Uncle Sam button pinned
To one side of my chest and the one that said
"Killing for peace is like fucking for chastity" on the other
Still got those buttons too, hahahaha, it's been a great ride

We could make it through this hard time folks
Feel our way through this darkness, but it's gonna take time and it's gonna cost lives
Yet the answer is self evident, like those truths we used to hold dear
And the love of mankind may still come out on top
Our children's children might still live in a better world, more beautiful world

Do I believe that, hee, yeah
With a glass of Jack in one hand, I manage
This next song is pure nostalgia at this point
Harking back to a time when the world economy was going down the shitter
And we really believed that things couldn't get any worse
Haha, but what did we know?
The costs turned out to be higher than all the government bailouts
And stimulus packages combined
Here's some real stimulus, Summer of Rage, by Hierophant
I'm Will 'O the Wisp
