    Lyrics:
    Honest to goodness
    The bars weren't open this morning
    They must have been voting for a new president of something
    Do you have a quarter?
    I said, "Yes", because I did
    Honest to goodness, the tears have been falling
    All over this country's face
    It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
    This was supposed to be the new world
    It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
    This was supposed to be the new world
    Flint Ford Auto
    Mobile, Alabama
    Windshield Wiper
    Buffalo, New York
    Gary, Indiana
    Don't forget the Motor City
    Baltimore and D.C
    Now all we need is
    Don't forget the Motor City
    This was supposed to be the new world
    Don't forget the Motor City
    This was supposed to be the new world
    All we need is money
    Just give us what you can spare
    Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes
    Or twenty or thirty beers
    A turkey on Thanksgiving
    Like alms for the poor
    All we need are the necessities and more
    It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
    This was supposed to be the new world
    It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
    This was supposed to be the new world
    Don't forget the Motor City
    This was supposed to be the new world
    Don't forget the Motor City
    This was supposed to be the new world

    They played a couple dates in DC last fall. I couldn’t go but my daughter grew up with X playing in the house. She went with a friend. Brought me back a shirt. I saw them on the See How We Are tour, would have been cool to see them again, especially since Billy was back. Unheard Music? At least not in my home.

      Listened to under a big black sun in LA summer 1982 but somehow missed them while I was there. Saw The Blasters, Fear, circle jerks, The Plimsouls. It was a great scene. Didn't get to see X until 1983. A favorite of many.

    This band changed my life. If they had come out 10 years later they would have been Pearl Jam or Nirvana. Saw them in concert three times and outside of the Ramones they put on the best live show I have ever seen. Some bands suck live, but X was created for live music.
    Just the greatest band that deserved to be so, so much bigger.

    • @richardseegman803
      @richardseegman803 4 месяца назад

      You should have seen live shows by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Rolling Stones in their heyday (circa 1969). Been there. And Soundgarden was better than Nirvana and Pearl Jam put together. No arguments please, we all have our opinions, and that is mine, you have your own opinions which I respect.

      @richardseegman803 2 месяца назад

      Nobody will agree with me. But I always thought Billy Zoom was the weak point of X. Listen to the album "See How We Are" which Billy had nothing to do with. Dave Alvin and Tony Gulkyson played lead guitar. Tony toured with X in support of that album. Dave Alvin was always the lead guitarit of the Knitters. Billy's playing was too simplistic.

    So, about 5 minutes ago this song popped into my head for no apparent reason. It was a hot day in Los Angeles, maybe that is why X and this song appeared, out of nowhere, while I was doing something mundane and not related to music. I do not know. I do know that I love the internet for one reason- I did not have to dig out the tape or cd- I could just find the very song I wanted to hear *right now* , posted by the band themselves. Thanks. I hope to catch you folks live, even very socially distant in the near future.
