Maniacs Lyrics by Dane Bachman

Hippies and Maniacs

2018

[Verse 1]
Somewhere out there there's somebody slow-dancin'
Somewhere out there somebody's sayin' 'goodness me'
Somewhere out there there's gotta be somebody spendin'
All the last love songs on someone they mean

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out there there's a grandfather that's dyin'
And his grandchildren are Tweetin' his name
But even though there were like 700 people likin'
A million reposts couldn't save him from pain

[Verse 3]
Somewhere out there there's a Vietnam veteran crawlin'
He used to hold picket signs back in the day
And as he wheels on down the side of the road
Teenagers protest boobs in video games

[harmonica solo]

[Verse 4]
Somewhere out there there's somebody makin' movies
Maybe they're incredible, maybe they're not
Turns on the TV, watches 'em give out an Oscar
To the politics that have taken filmmaking's spot

[Verse 5]
Somewhere out there there's an old woman that's a-cryin'
Cause her grandson's explodin' in a whirlwind of risk
And finally, when the vape smoke starts a-clearin'
Her grandson's got black lungs just like her husband did

[Verse 6]
Somewhere out there there's an old Jew that's a-sobbin'
Cause he can remember all his friends being gassed
And he turns on his TV to watch an old sitcom
But instead they're screamin' cause "Friends" has an all-white cast

[harmonica solo]

[Verse 7]
Somewhere out there I see many people are dyin'
Fighting for their basic human rights
But turn on your 80-inch plasma TV
It's all celebrities and politicians gettin' in fights

[Verse 8]
So someone out there, there's gotta be knowin'
That activism is only the new 'cool'
So quick, before you hold up your picket signs
Don't forget to get a pic of you lookin' cute

[harmonica solo]
