VIDEO - SMOKEY BASTARD

Smokey Bastard "Aspirations, I Have Some"


Lyrics:

Can we trade in these lives we lead?
'Cos baby you should see me in my dreams,
Fighting assassins off in bullet time
Spinning 360 degrees
'Cos all these movies got me thinking
Could I ever be like them?
Do you you think John McClane gets shy-cock taking a piss with other dudes?
Exactly, It's definitely no isn't it,
That's why he's John McClane.

I wanna wear a vest top for a living
And shoot guns out of cars while they're still spinning,
Go out and prove I'm hard down on the boulevard,
Shit on the reds just like Christopher Hitchens
And it's really got me thinking
Could I ever be like them?
Do you think Arnie lives in his parent's house and listens to the Gaslight Anthem?
Well, Buttons does. He says they're pretty good.

I wish that when I sang it sounded just like Springsteen,
That if I took the stand, that folks would sit and listen.
I wish that I was in a gang, grinding a living on the corners
Or the maverick on a cop show, busting heads and taking numbers
And I'd look like Jesse Custer and I'd throw down like him too,
Go chasing women like McNulty after a dozen shots or two
And if I wrote a breakdown that sounds like 'Racing in the Street'
Not a soul would ever notice, just think the song is pretty sweet.
