Reggae tune; ode to leader of the college gang JOE ALLEN

lyrics

J.D. in a Bricktown home
Hanging out at Krauzers
Policemen calling all cars
So he don't burn down houses
From the Jersey shore criminal side
The town was terrorized
By a holy man Haifa guy
On a roller coaster ride

This is Joe Allen
Our fearless leader oh oh oh
This is Joe Allen
This is how he feels

On the 79 Cali express
The boy done made his stride
Blastin' Boston Cars and Kiss
The Big Ten Inch ride
So we heard that disco had died
That rock n roll was king
What's next on the Brixton tape player
I heard that Strummer sing

This is Joe Allen
Our fearless leader oh oh oh
This is Joe Allen
This is how he feels

I see a gang fire
Anaheim jam town street
There goes a motorcycle crash
Breaking bones and feet
In an Audi Fox two dollar gas
The 4 quarts oil burn fast
At the junky town Shakey's Pizza
The Galaga slap fight mash

This is Joe Allen
Our fearless leader oh oh oh
This is Joe Allen
This is how he feels

At home in an alley garage
A search for human rights
Radio Clash done spoke to him
And gave him fuel to fight
It's a Palestine warrior call
The peoples die tonight
In a protest army jacket
F.J.C. punk crowd cried

This is Joe Allen
Our fearless leader oh oh oh
This is Joe Allen
This is how he feels

Back in the garageland
The dirt weed piled high
Always thought he owned our thoughts
But he never knew why
Spoke democracy and peace and love
A seasoned a dictator
Thought he had a real good voice
So we made him the lead singer

This is Joe Allen
Our fearless leader oh oh oh
This is Joe Allen
This is how he feels

This is Joe Allen
Our fearless leader oh oh oh
This is Joe Allen
This is how he feels
