This song was inspired by a short film by Eric Moffat and an vvent hosted every month by Tom Heyman at the Makeout Room in San Fransisco called The Sad Bastards Club.
lyrics
Sad Bastards Sing
Late April early May, waiting for a chance to play
On the lighted stage
Hoping just to hold the room, struggled through the newer tunes
But it felt o.k.
Hear them Sad Bastards sing bout their yesterdays and their ramblin ways
Their words walk past towards the door , headed for the mission road
Then their no more
This city used to be mine too, crawled up every avenue
Of this crowned jewel
Now I'm many miles away, they say it's boarded up anyway
Sign says " coming soon "
I can still hear the Sad Bastards sing, Truth is singing harmony
with a tambourine
And as the night winds down, before the DJ crowd comes out
we recede
Back to our broken rooms, with our broken tunes
and dreams
Truth sings harmony playing her tambourine
