THE NETWORK LYRICS - Spike

"Spike"



Hey this Brandon but my friends call me Spike now.

I just moved out my parents' house in Danville

To this wicked warehouse in Oakland.

Anyway I spent most of the day spare-changing on the avenue.

I started out in front of the Med

But everyone kept saying I looked too young and healthy

So I went up the street to the Gap where all the

Yuppie college kids shop

I was there until about 5:30 or 6

I scored about 10 bucks

So me and my girlfriend, you met her, she's from La Jolla

Anyway, we got some money from her parents

So we're gonna stop by because



I need a fix



What's that?

Now's not a good time?

What do you mean there's none left?

Well what the fuck dude?

If I would have known that I would have gone to Concord.

What do you mean go back to Concord then?

Dude you don't even know who you're talking to.

Don't make me get all Blackhawk on your ass.

Wait man I didn't mean that.

C'mon dude, please?

Alright man.

Wait wait wait wait

Do you know anyone that's got any?

Do you got a number?

What do you mean you won't give it to me?

I didn't call for a shitty conversation,

I called because



I need a fix



Man I got it rough

When drinking cough syrup

Just ain't enough

On and on

I'm a teenage rebel

I'm fucking bored



Mom, this is Spi, I mean Brandon.

I got kicked out of my place in Oakland.

I don't really have any place to go so

I was just wondering if I could stay with you or Grandma or something?

I don't know.

My girlfriend dumped me she moved back to La Jolla, it's kind of a drag.

I guess she's gonna go back to school or something.

Anyway call me back.

Oh, one more thing Mom,

I was wondering if I could borrow $200 because



I need a fix



I'm a teenage rebel
