- After some time, I've decided to upload another song by Social Distortion.
The song is "after you're gone" / "Company C", which might be unknown for quite a lot of fans. It is known by both of these names.
Its on the Lost Tracks Vol. 2, again.
Here the lyrics: (I wrote them out myself, if there are mistakes, let me know)
On a street corner in Pittsburgh, PA
There's a tough Irish boy with no dreams
But to be King for one day
And he's schooled by the older ones
With lessons and the conduct of the streets
He's got a mean right cross
And a devastating left hook [???]
He likes to drink and he likes to fight
He likes poppin' pills and Du-Op
and the boulevard on a Saturday night
And he's going no where fast
you know he's happy just staying alive
But you can always count on Charlie
To be there if you needed him
In a courtroom on a December's day
The judge said look here son
If you wanna play
You're gonna have to pay
See these rules that you life by
Don't exist in a civilized world.
So I offer you prison, or Vietnam.
You know Charlie, he's kinda crazy
He just stood there look'd at me,
Look'd at the judge, straight in the eyes
Said I'd love to fight your honor
And you know I've got nothing to loose
So send me off to war, I don't mind.
He spent two years
Learning weapons of death
And a year in the jungle
Like an animal where's it kill or be killed
And the right amount of heroin
Really seems to quiet the bombs
Back in Pittsburgh, things are rather calm
Now Charlie, he is my friend
Taught me how to hold my head up
Told me soon that I'd be a man
Says that Agent Orange is calling
And the doctors have done all they can
Well Charlie, I'm gonna miss you
after you're gone
Well Charlie, I'm gonna miss you
after you're gone
Well Charlie, I'm gonna miss you
after you're gone
Rate and comment, and enjoy!
I just figured out why Social Distortion & Mike Ness are rarely played on the radio.....
Look around at society; most don't deserve to hear music this good.
I gotta tell ya....I was in iraq and afghanistan...but I knew a few guys like charlie. one is my friend still today. He was in vietnam and like a father, brother, and friend to me. Even took care of my affairs while I was in afghanistan for me so my mother wouldn't have to in the event I was killed. As time goes on, sometimes we forget....but let us not forget em Joe's who fought just as hard as any other american, in any other war, as they did in Vietnam. When ya play this song....bow your head, shed a tear....and think about the charlie's you knew in you neighborhood and lives.
Amen my friend....amen............
I couldn't even imagine what they went through
Stay strong brotha.
Thanks for your service brotha. Awesome song.

Does anybody know the chords? I can figure it out but wanted to check. Thanks in advance.
