lyrics
The winds of change, as Scorpions would say, have blown us
Far away from where we were yesterday and shown us
That there are no constants in this arbitrary life
A roller coaster rolling as day turns into night
So take a hit and take a sip and snort your problems away
The only significance is that you give it
Millions are suffering, who fucking did it?
It happens by itself, it's cruel but there's no doubt
Before we all know it we'll soon be swept away
AWAY!
27 trips around the sun
27 more and I'll probably be done
And 27 more from there, who'll remember or even care?
Like the multitudes before me, I'll be reduced to "He was here."
Unless I commit atrocities, or change the world in some way
The only significance is that you give it
Millions are suffering, who fucking did it?
It happens by itself, it's cruel but there's no doubt
Before we all know it we'll soon be swept away
AWAY!
Far away from where we were yesterday and shown us
That there are no constants in this arbitrary life
A roller coaster rolling as day turns into night
So take a hit and take a sip and snort your problems away
The only significance is that you give it
Millions are suffering, who fucking did it?
It happens by itself, it's cruel but there's no doubt
Before we all know it we'll soon be swept away
AWAY!
27 trips around the sun
27 more and I'll probably be done
And 27 more from there, who'll remember or even care?
Like the multitudes before me, I'll be reduced to "He was here."
Unless I commit atrocities, or change the world in some way
The only significance is that you give it
Millions are suffering, who fucking did it?
It happens by itself, it's cruel but there's no doubt
Before we all know it we'll soon be swept away
AWAY!

about
Crooked Jacks Sherbrooke, Québec
Crooked Jacks are Canadian punk-rock warriors hailing from the musical purgatory of Sherbrooke, Quebec. From street punks
to aging skaters caught up in an adult world they can’t figure out… anyone can relate to these guys.
Created in 2009 after many long nights, blistered fingers and various vices, Crooked Jacks mixes fast paced punk rock with catchy, almost country, guitar riffs.
