It's Only DuPage Wasteland - AM Taxi

Do you remember when we were young and clever

And hungry for the home team to win?

We spent our summers drinking hot firewater

Waiting for the next show to begin

With all the madness came a certain sadness

Brought it back with us to town

Now we get warmer in the darkest of corners

Knocking ice-cold medicine down

And I refuse to celebrate any war that we’ve won

I refuse to celebrate

I still remember that scare in late November '99

She thought she was late

If that had happened

By now we’d have a teenage vandal with his father’s fate

He’d be a warrior

I would’ve named him Johnny Cash

And he would hibernate through all of the sadness

And wake with the strength to fight back

But I refuse to speculate any more than I’ve done

I refuse to celebrate

Summer children can see through it all

They split soft drinks to hide alcohol

When it’s cold, like our folks did, we’ll have a ball

Summer children, conceived in the fall

That’s right

And I refuse to celebrate any war that we’ve won

I refuse to celebrate

Summer children can see through it all

They split soft drinks to hide alcohol

When it’s cold, like our folks did, we’ll have a ball

Summer children can see through it all

That’s right

Summer children, it’s alright

It’s alright

Summer children can see through it all

That’s right
