Verse 1

Took the 60 bus
Out of downtown Campbell
Ben Zanotto he was on there he was waiting for me
All the punk rockers
And the moon stompers
Are out on the corners where they sparing for change
I started thinking
You know I started drinking
I don't really remember too much of that day
Something struck me funny
When we ran out of money
Where do you go now when you're only 15?

Pre-Chorus

With the music execution
And the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me, oh and it goes

Chorus 1

Give them the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give them the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give them the boot
The roots, the reggae
On my stereo 

Verse 2

The radio was playing
Desmon Dekker was singing
On the 43 bus as we climb up the hill
Nothin’ incoming
But the reggae drumming
And we all come from unloving homes
I said “Why even bother?”
And I pick up the bottle
Mr. Bus driver please let these people on
Rude girl Carol
Was a mini skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothing wrong

Pre-Chorus

With the music execution
And the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me, oh and it goes

Chorus 2

Give them the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give them the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give them the boot
The roots, the reggae
On my stereo 
On my stereo!!!

Bridge/Guitar Solo

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah!

Verse 3

Took the 60 bus
Out of downtown Campbell
Ben Zanotto he was on there he was waiting for me
All the punk rockers
And the moon stompers
Are out on the corners where they sparing for change
There’s a radio was playing
Desmon Dekker was singing
On the 43 bus as we climb up the hill
Rude girl Carol
Was a mini skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothing wrong

Pre-Chorus

With the music execution
And the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me, oh and it goes

Chorus 3

Give them the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give them the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give them the boot
The roots, the reggae
On my stereo 
Give them the boot
The roots, the radicals
Give them the boot
You know I'm a radical
Give them the boot
The roots, the reggae
C G C (hold) C
On my stereo
