Lyrics:

 

[Verse 1]
Hey ah na na, innocence is over
Hey ah na na, over
Hey ah na na, ignorance is spoken
Hey ah na na, spoken
Hey ah na na, confidence is broken
Hey ah na na, broken
Hey ah na na, sustenance is stolen
Hey ah na na, stolen
Hey ah na na, arrogance is potent
Hey ah na na, potent, yeah

[Chorus]
What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start

[Verse 2]
Hey ah na na, I repent tomorrow
Hey ah na na, tomorrow
Hey ah na na, I suspend my sorrow
Hey ah na na, sorrow, yeah

[Chorus]
What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start

Hey ah na na

I was watching Straight Out of Compton and decided to look up where Ice Cube got the music for No Vaseline..

I would put that song on here but it would burn the G rating on this place to the ground..hehehe

Anyways, here is where the music came from.. Brick - Dazz which is short for, Disco Jazz

YT suggested a piece that I used to listen to decades ago with my first husband.  I suppose it's apt as I was picking out a seasonal card for him today.  Anyway, in the piece someone asks the great question of existence to which answerers respond, apparently unheard as the questioner keeps asking it.  The answerers become increasingly frustrated, meanwhile they are accompanied by those who never ask the question since they are permanently unconscious.  They do sound content, however.

Feeling nostalgic today, listening to some of our vinyl albums that we've kept all these years.

I really enjoy his lyrics, that make the stories in his songs so vivid I can see them in my mind.

 

This particular song also brings back memories from the late '70's of places my then boyfriend (now husband) went to look at some 'bargain' vehicle, and a couple that we actually bought.
