Ramones - "The Return of Jackie and Judy"

Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York just to see the Ramones

Tenth Avenue Freeze Out

"When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
With the Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out"
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

Genuinely thought this thread was going to be about 311.

Neil Young - "Old Homestead"

noticed this one when I heard it today:
"Why do you ride that crazy horse?
Inquires the shadow
with little remorse"
