AM Taxi – It's Only DuPage Wasteland lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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


[Bridge]
And I refuse to celebrate any war that we've won
I refuse to celebrate

[Chorus]
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
