Rancid

Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991. Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both of whom previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day and The Offspring—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. Unlike Green Day and The Offspring however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots. more »

She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall 
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls 
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down 
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around 

On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a girl she kind of made you spill 
Her brother Mario got shot four times in da head 

Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
And the cocaine moves too fast through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under/loner class

Just a bunch of kids who don't want to finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale 
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and frail/fail
And a few weeks of promises and attempts fail 

It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah 

Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!! 

(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)

They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple (sip of?) things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Self-annihilation, catastrophe 

Two packs of cigarettes
For two dollars and seventy cents and a
Bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said, "Why do I do this?" 

A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said, "It's who I am baby, back to it."
Off the deep end the record changed 

You see, no one stood up and cheered for him 
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began...to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed... 

It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah

Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!

(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)

Who was the killer?...it's in the...
