\u2013 Lyrics By Metric, for performance with Easy Goin\u2019 & Anne Bonny, DPW Talent Show 2007<\/p>\n
Got into Gerlach the last week of July
\nThe dust so thick it makes a grown man cry
\nDropped all my shit in trailer thirteen
\nThe guys were crusty and the girls were mean
\nAin’t got my bearings– I got no socks and no shoes
\nCan I bum a smoke? I got those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n
Damn cigarette’s burned a hole in my shirt
\nSpent the whole day pounding stakes in the dirt
\nBeen tyin’ fence ’til my fingers are raw
\nGot so damn thirsty there oughta be a law
\nI’m drinkin’ cans of beer by ones and by twos
\nBut I ain’t got no whiskey– I got those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n
Heineken? Heineken? Fuck that shit!
\nPABST BLUE RIBBON!<\/p>\n
Breakfast at Bruno’s I can’t find a seat
\nLocals are serving up mystery meat
\nDown on the playa the whole thing’s a mess
\nIt’s Ladies’ Night and I can’t find a dress
\nAt least in this place you don’t pay no union dues
\nThey can pay me in beer– I got those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n
Down in the ghetto I’m setting up camp
\nMy mouth is dry and my socks are damp
\nMy boots are holey that’s no sacrament
\nI don’t know where my girlfriend went
\nThe gate is open– the City’s filling with yahoos
\nThis shit’s way too blinky– I got those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n
Could drink an Anchor or some microbrew
\nI know that Guinness is good for you
\nBud Coors Hamms Schlitz as long as it’s free
\nBut Pabst Blue Ribbon’s the beer for me<\/p>\n
It’s Tuesday morning the lunar eclipse
\nI bring a cold can of beer to my lips
\nI turn around and the Man is aflame
\nSurely there’s some asshat to blame
\nThere goes my day off– I think I’m on three crews
\nBut the event must go on– I got those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n
The morning meeting they’re handing out shwag
\nMy forehead’s sporting a drunk Sharpie tag
\nDon’t mean to heckle I don’t mean to brag
\nBut I just got me a new Ranger flag
\nThey’re lookin’ for me– they’d like to give me a bruise
\nGimme some conflict resolution– I got those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n
Exodus time all the hippies must flee
\nGot weeks of mooping in front of me
\nCouches are burning the dunes are waist high
\nI close my eyes all I see is the playa
\nWalkin’ the line sweep with shovels and rakes
\nWe’ll pass inspection for everyone’s sakes
\nBack at the Crack Rock we’re all out of drugs
\nAsk where the weed went and everyone shrugs
\nSnow on the Granites– it’s time for me to cruise
\nBut I’ll be back next year to drown those Pabst Ribbon Blues<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
