Scrap Lyrics - Bricks Are Heavy - L7

I met a skinhead named Scrap 

He lived in my friends garage 

Everyday hes shaking that spray paint can 

And comes out seeing stars 

Grab a paper bag like an oxygen mask 

Until your mind starts to gel 

'Cause the ball in the can has a crazy beat 

The funky dying brain cell

This song is obviously about the guy named Scrap that L7 knew. They met him when they were recording their debut album on Epitaph Records. He lived in their… See all 

So he met some Christians from hell 

Who said, "Lets go to Vegas, man" 

So he packed up his leather and his red beret 

Into that big, bad Christian van 

Use revival meetings like an oxygen tent 

Till your mind starts to gel 

'Cause the preacher thumps the Bible 

With a crazy beat, the funky dying brain cell 

Well, he came back to the garage 

But the garage, it wasnt there 

And he dug metallic gold more than Luke and John 

Now hes growing his hair 

Grab a paper bag like an oxygen mask 

Until your mind starts to gel 

'Cause the ball in the can 

Has a crazy beat, the funky dying brain cell
