Jack James - Locals Only
Do you feel that morning sun
There ain't nothing like a brand new day
Roll me up a little sunshine, yea
Then I'll be on my way
No matter where I go
I've got everything I need
All the way from the wake and bake
To the bar down by the beach
Stuff that sensi deep down
In the right side of my sock
Then I'll skate, all the way
To where the pavement stops
Because i'd rather be surfin'
Rippin' up the surface
Of the great unknown
Instead I spend my time working
Filling pockets of an unknown person
And to me thats really not worth it
Oh no, I'm gonna do this on my own
Locals only, when you need some tunes
Locals only, when you need some food
Locals only, for whatever you need
That way the money comes back to you and me
Because it's locals only here
Have you seen the cost for all of us to live
Well its more than all the time that we have spent
Working 9-5 just to pay the rent
When all we need is one another in the end
Don't just get up and go work for them
Until the day that you can't get up again
Oh no, You can do this on your own
I'm sure that we all would agree, that this life was never free
So don't be another cog, inside the industry machine, tell em back to the boneyard
Where precious time is traded
For unstable minimum wages
Don't sleep on that band that's playing
Cause someday they really might make it
Don't forget to tip your bartenders
Or to support your friends ventures
Best believe you all have potential
Probably more than you'd like to mention
And so, I hope you know you're not alone
Locals only, when you need some food
Locals only, when you need some tunes
Locals only, for whatever you need
That way the money comes back to you and me, yea
This ones for the buskers
All the market space lovers
Every mom and pop shop
That keeps this little town running
So tell em' back, to the boneyard punk, it's locals only here
I won't back you fuckin' corporate bums, it's locals only here
