about

The title of this song was inspired by Michael Moorecock's "the Last Days of Man on Earth" and David Bowie's "the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." It has gone on to be my signature song no matter what band I have started. You can see a live video of my band Dogfish performing this song on the year I recorded it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRkbX1-BrG4

lyrics

(announcer: Alright you proles! Are you ready to seize the means of Rock and Roll? Alright then! Presenting: Doc Vomit and the Shithead Gang!)
There’s gotta be a better way
To save our footfalls from pride
We can’t sell out for anything
Time to stand up cause there’s no more
We can hide

There’s got to be better world
We all work up our venom and froth
better learn to love and listen
We’re all woven from the same human cloth

And these are the last days of Doc Vomit and the Shithead gang on earth
Yeah there are the last days of Doc Vomit and the Shithead gang on earth

How can you care about peace
as your greed sews the seeds for world hate
If you push your new world order
I’ll plan to check you with world federated states

How can you rage about freedom
When you never give your citizens a choice
I’m done with all the power brokers
And I’ll fight until world justice has a voice

And these are the last days of Doc Vomit and the Shithead gang on earth
Yeah there are the last days of Doc Vomit and the Shithead gang on earth

oo cat calls!
you gonna kill this cat?
hoo scratch your eyes!
get em up, get em up yeah!
It's time to take it back! Revolution!
