Rancid - Black Lung Lyrics

Beast rancid song ever hands down!

ベースかっけー

That bassline...

MIGHTY PHAT

Alex Murr mighty matt

@Sam J you could probly write that on every single rancid song

You mean EVERY Matt Freeman bass line

Most don't realize the meaning...
We still remember the Battle of Blair Mountain - even if it isn't taught in our schools.

SimpleSam that's why my grandfather and his brother came here to live.

Your heart is a muscle

Why is it called Black Lung?  That's racist!

The Black Lungs are (were...) proud unionized miners in the Appalachian, now displaced, abandoned to their luck and voting for Donald Trump.

And black lung is also a disease derived from coal dust breathing.

You really need to look up the definition of Black Lung

Black lung sucks. Coal dust is a shit to inhale.

+sevensixtwomm I can feel the people's rage after reading only the first part of your comment.

@George Szweden Hahah yeah I only just realised. Nobody ever goes off halfcocked over the internet, right? Hahaha.

Matt is so the fucking backbone of this band....

Max Towers debateable

@Glare108 not at all.

Man, this is the best song to hear during your after work pint.

and the me from 4 years later understands the song a lot better... but it still works.

bad boy song

omg i searched for this song like 2 years finally!! :D

This is one of their better songs for sure!

1 Person got his name called ot by a lonely whistle

@mickskaful dude u gatta learn this bass line its so fun to play

@Basard100 they are still the best live band ever so no need to quit yet. Metallica should quit

Love 4 Boost Dick rider

I was raised on this, Love.

Rank-and-file workers, rank-and-file masses
Take off your gloves and sock it to 'em!

Sign a petition on a working condition
Union's in bed with the coal operators
Carry our freedom, lookin' for somethin'
To give your family a better hope for every single day

@CptKolbenschlag no it's because rancid didn't sell out. So for the ones that know who Rancid is they are lucky cause Rancid is the best

bass fucking god

shoulda quit while they were ahead

@DenisBadman95 yeah, rancid is pretty retarded now.....

Wow , that's an intelligent comment.

They just put very little into their songwriting anymore and it definitely shows on their last 4 or 5 albums

probably my fav from rancid....ehat a bass ♥

@CptKolbenschlag cuz rancid took a huge shit... that's why

Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name
