We were bored, there was nothing going on.
Might as well stay at home
and drink until we pass out again.
Then drink some more when the morning comes.
Memphis was sinking into the Mississippi.
We were doing our best just to ride it down.
Till the night G.G. Allin came to town.
The night G.G. Allin came to town.
"Honey, I dont believe this,"
the old man at Ferguson's Cafe
kept saying to his wife.
As he read aloud The Memphis Star and their account
of what went down that night.
"It says he took a shit on the stage
and started throwing it into the crowd,
but he was gone before the cops could come and shut him down.
Gone before the shit came down."
The night G.G. Allin came to town.
The night G.G. Allin came to town.
Antenna Club, Memphis, 1991.
Punk rockers paid $12 to be shit on,
the night G.G. Allin came to town.
The night G.G. Allin came to town.
"It says he took the microphone and shoved it up his ass!"
The old man and his wife were aghast.
Me and Cooley, we just laughed so hard we both fell down.
The night G.G. Allin came to town.
The night G.G. Allin came to town.
