    Lyrics »

See we jump off the bus without a dime to our names
We don't take the time to look around, just bum our spare change
So ask the port authority scruff where all the kids can be found
He'll say I know those boyz, they live downtown
That's where we went when all the money was spent

Take us in your arms
Let us know your love's all around
They go clip our wings
For us Summertime squatters
Call us messed up things
They forgot we're just kidz

Sprout, she's from Boston
Dusty & Spike's from Detroit
Camped out in Tompkin's Park
Just rollin' up a joint
Don't worry about getting hit cause you're safe in the sun
'Cause when we stick by each other, they can't make us run
But Summer ends too quickly, when all the asshole hate-edge dicks roll into town battle woundz always bring us back down

Take us in your arms
Let us know your love's all around
They go clip our wings
For us Summertime squatters
Call us messed-up things
They forgot we're just kidz

I don't have the cure
Sometimes why we feel low
When we could just fly
To get by we need dope

a tribute to summer and youth
Review written by Anonymous, March 22nd, 2010

This song makes me think of all the crazy shit we used to pull in my late teens-nobody cared about tomorrow. Man, how things change. Great tune that was swept under the radar since Camp's behavior was so over the top.
