SONG NAME: Straight From The Jacket
YEAR: 1995
"Straight From The Jacket" -- No Use For A Name
(Ever noticed how much this song sounds like Bad Religion's "Infected"?
Exact same chords and Tony Sly sounds like Greg Graffin with elastic
vocal chords. Small wonder NUFAN were called a "Rad Beligion" band by
some guy in a zine... which doesn't at all mean they suck. Both bands
kick ass.)
So sorry son, you're worrying your mother
No explanation's gonna make it seem all right
Young boy listen to your father
It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide
How does it feel when you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Tell me how it feels -- did you see your life flash right before your eyes
Stop playing games and get yourself up off the floor
Young boy we're gonna send you to the lions
The men all dressed in white when you become undone
How does it feel, well I might have brought you up but you are not my son
Tell me how it feels
(** this part is some kind of solo which I'm too lazy to tab but just
play these chords)
F E (low) A G
So many times I tried to bring you up you brought me down
I won't consider you again
Stop looking at me like you care I worked my fingers to the bone
I'm not your father or your friend
Well you might have lived here once but this is not your home
A (same part as before)
Tell me how it feels
(another verse which I forget)
How does it feel ... how does it feel?
How does it feel when you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun
