This is a great ska song by Rancid off of their latest album. I can't

Lyrics:
[Verse]:
He was an artist and a writer and a poet and a friend.
In a man's life he will take a fall, but how low he goes, that just
depends. He's shooting dope in the men's room at the station, daly city
train. Have you ever seen an angel?
Well I know I have. They'll stay here for a while then they fly away.
[Chorus]:
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him. When he rolled the
dice you know he never thought twice, never thought twice about being here.
[Verse]:
Some grow up, and some grow old. But what about the kid who never learned
the rules. Spent all these years on earth, when you look back, it's just
a flicker of time. He was one of the ones that was already saved through
all. Through all this evil and wreckage, he maintained a sense of himself.
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]:
Some men are in prison even though they walk the streets at night. Other
men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight.
[Chorus]
That's it! Let me know if you have any changes, comments, etc., or
requests, or if you have any ifo about the new Rancid album.
