Back in the days when the battles raged

And we thought it was nothing

A bookstore man meets the CIA

And we know

Throw me a cord and plug it in

Get the Cradle rockin'

Out with the redneck pig old men

And it's gold

Hair in the hole in my head

Too bad the scene is dead

Memory's in the shadow

Back in time again

I can't forget your terrorized face

When you cried for the shameless

Wasted life, AmeriK-K-Kan

Then you smiled

Said why should we run when we can not hide?

And my flag is burnin'

We could be wrong but that's alright

We'll rise again

Hair in the hole in my head

Too bad the scene is dead

Memory's in the shadow

It's back in town again

Lookin' away it's another day

And of course we love you

But radical man meets the CIA

And we said no

We'll round up the Durham H.C. kids

And the Char Grill killers

Jesse H. coming to our pit

All ages show

Hair in the hole in my head

Too bad the scene is dead

Memory's in the shadow

It's back in time again
