Gimme the sweet and lowdown


It was a moonlight mishap
You lost your party hat
Seems your lifestyle ain't so worthwhile after all
A heavy-hearted taxi ride
Then a walk on the wild side
Did your guardian angel let you down?
Gonna lay low and play it straight
It's time to rejuvenate
Gonna kick start your heart until you come around

I can tell you now; you've really gotten the blues
I can tell you now; that I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You better get outta the way
It's history made the hard way
From a hero to a zero once again
Ain't no time for vanity
Or this insanity
You're maladjusted and now you're busted once again

I can tell you now; it comes as no surprise
I can tell you now; by that look in your eyes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You're looking kinda punch drunk
Cuz that's the way you strut your stuff
With a swing and a swagger down the road you go
You shoulda made a better choice
And listened to your inner voice
You gotta get right or get left, don't ya know

I can tell you now; it's the peak of bad news
I can tell you now; that I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown
The sweet and lowdown
Gimme the sweet - the sweet and lowdown

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

I Social Distortion sono una band punk rock formatasi a Orange County, California, nel 1978. Considerati tra i gruppi più influenti della scena punk revival degli anni '80, hanno saputo coniugare l'energia del punk con elementi di country e rockabilly, creando un sound unico e riconoscibile. Il gruppo è guidato dal carismatico Mike Ness, cantante e chitarrista, che ha affrontato diverse difficoltà personali durante la carriera della band, tra cui dipendenze e problemi di salute. Nonostante le vicissitudini, i Social Distortion hanno continuato a registrare e suonare, pubblicando album come *Mommy's Little Monster* (1983), *Prison Bound* (1988) e *White Light, White Heat, White Trash* (1990). Tra i brani più famosi ci sono «Ball and Chain», «Story of My Life» e «Don't Drag Me Down». La formazione attuale comprende Mike Ness, Jonny Wickersham (chitarra), Brent Harding (basso) e David Hidalgo Jr. (batteria).
