Jerks in Progress

In ’85 I thought that every one was cool
And that we hang around, stay downtown
We go to Holiday and Aztec Lounge
And we’d end up always at Blanches

In ’89 I found that I’m still around
With the funky crowd got that groovy sound
We’d go to Wha Wha Hut and Downtown Beirut
And we’d ended up at the Mars Bar.

In ’91 the crowd started to change around
But I’m still downtown just hanging around
They got the funny shoes and bell bottom blues
And they all look just like Johnny Thunders

In ’99 I drop a lot of acid and hang at Sweetwater
My name is jerk
Why don’t you come and play 'cause I’m here to stay
And I'm just a jerk in progress.
A jerk in progress.
A jerk in progress.
A jerk in progress.
