《Jimmy Bartlett’s Teeth》歌词

[00:00:00] Jimmy Bartlett's Teeth - The Taxpayers

[00:00:24] There was this kid I used to know

[00:00:26] And he was born with the wrong name

[00:00:27] And I would walk with him to school every day

[00:00:31] On a cold October morning he was jumped

[00:00:33] By a gang of local high school kids

[00:00:35] With pipes and rusty chains

[00:00:37] When the ambulance arrived all his teeth were broken out

[00:00:40] And Jimmy Bartlett never walked quite the same

[00:00:43] Turns out the house that he grew up in had been stolen

[00:00:45] By a man 100 years before who shared his last name

[00:00:48] And while we're talking about houses we grew up in

[00:00:51] Let me tell you about mine

[00:00:52] It was an honest little one story place

[00:00:55] But when my mother died it became abandoned for a while

[00:00:58] And was quickly repossessed by the bank

[00:01:01] But then in 1985 a couple neighborhood kids

[00:01:05] Broke into the house through the back door

[00:01:08] When the fire trucks arrived it was burnt to the ground

[00:01:10] There ain't a sign of that house there any more

[00:01:14] But that's alright that's alright

[00:01:17] But that's alright that's alright

[00:01:20] But that's alright that's alright

[00:01:23] But that's alright that's alright

[00:01:25] That's alright that's alright right right right right

[00:01:30] When I was nine years old

[00:01:31] I watched a kid get his legs broken because of his last name

[00:01:34] 17 years later an arson fire burned down

[00:01:37] The house where I was born

[00:01:38] There ain't no moral to any of that

[00:01:41] And there ain't nobody to blame

[00:01:43] It was just one of those things
