The Ramones - Carbona Not Glue



the lyrics are seen on page 21 in ghost world, playing in the background. i think its important to know what is being referenced in ghost world because it gives the viewer a better understanding of the characters personalities...also the ramones are fucking good...sonic youth too.

Carbona Not Glue lyrics

Wondering what I'm doing tonight I've been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of Carbona, Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray, too

It's TV's fault why I am this way
Mom and pop wanna put me away
From the early morning movie to the late late show
After it's over nowhere to go

And I'm not sorry for the things I do
My brain is stuck from shooting glue
I'm not sorry for the things I do, do...

Carbona not glue,
Carbona not glue,
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/ramones-lyrics/carbona-not-glue-lyrics.html )

Wondering what I'm doing tonight I've been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of Carbona, Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray, too

It's TV's fault why I am this way
Mom and pop wanna put me away
From the early morning movie to the late late show
After it's over nowhere to go

Carbona not (Hey!) glue..
Carbona not (Hey!) glue..
Carbona not (Hey!) glue..
Carbona not (Hey!) glue..
Carbona not (Hey!) glue..
