Bootlace (with Mr. Hoosteen)

from Love Not War by Randy Hobbs

lyrics

Let's get your dad's little hatchback
Cruise on down to the beach
Toted stained denim backpacks and black slashed up jeans
Bounce to Em in the 90's
Basement boombap filled daydreams
Let's doodle love notes to Cobain
Dance in the rain till our ankles sprain
And our throats get raw from rapping in the rain
Run to what we want to become
Take long dips in the sunset mistook adulthood for progress
'Cause we ride through the night, twilight tribe
Posing pretty by riverside stop signs
Polaroids catch us in the tide of our youth
You and me scuffing Converse making our own truths
Buzzcut rough flicking pebbles at the tough

Blue pill, red pill, high off the scent
Of pleather guitar straps and post party toothpaste
We weave in and out of palm trees
Serene we're more than machines craving green
We're tupac bass teens
And the coins rattling in our jeans
We spend it on limited tees and cola by the sea
Leave the plastic kids buying friends
And depending on pence to feel relevant
Leave the ones who's heads are full of dead stars and damp cigars
We don't need stuff to make us who we are
'Cause we crash concerts and we whirl in the pearl coloured smoke
What's broken and unfurled is lost in the whirlwind of song
And the steel studded jackets and forgotten crisp packets
Remind us thats where we belong

'Cause we don't need handcuffs to prove we're grown up
We're free each other is enough
