Lyrics
Sunshine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
December '97 in the Amarillo streets.
11pm with bloodshed on the concrete.
A difference intolerance.
An intolerance that haunts an entire town with one punk down.
A big Cadillac against a kid, age 19.
His name was Brian Deneke, the most punk you'd even seen.
A punk whose lifetime was short-lived.
The war between some white hats and some freaks.
We need unity. Stand up, no turning back.
No need to fight. Leave the long road behind.
Brian was a brother, Brian was a son,
Brian was a friend and he was killed for being a punk.
The jury didn't understand.
3 whole years for taking someone's life.
An innocent life.
Stand up, no turning back. No need to fight. Leave the long road behind.
