    Badcards' style begins to take form with this track off of the debut full length CD, "Booze Schwah". After the experimental 5 song EP "Williams Town", the new CD displays a refreshing turn towards the reggae inspired segment of alternative music made popular by LBDAS, Sublime and Slightly Stoopid.

    Story Behind the Song
    A look into the Southern California Bar scene and the addiictions that lie within - when too much booze brings delusions of wealth and self righteousness and the talk gets cheaper with each shot of illeaglly brewed Absinthe Pastis. Inspired by Raggamuffins, San Clemente CA.

    Lyrics
    RAGGAMUFFINS
    İ Badcard Music 2001

    Where the tattooed statutes come to swim
    and now they never sink, because they paper thin,
    and the really scream, when us preachers sing,
    Cause we play guitar upon a trip wire string.

    Itıs gonna be the last time we sing,
    so listen close to what we a bring.
    badcard a come a mash dis place
    we gonna get up strong in a you're face.

    Ringa dinga ding gonna tell you all a something
    Donıt care if its a wrong or if itıs right
    when we step up you step up you step back from our reggae dub attack
    cuz tonight we all unite

    Outa no where coma natty roots rock style
    like the kind you never heard before.
    When we come to town they come from all around
    lining up for miles at raggamuffins back door

    How many days have we been breaking down the walls.
    How many walls do we break until these days are called off.

    Every time Iım here I drink an Uzo,
    Followed by a cold Red Stripe.
    By the night time Iım feeling so much looser
    Thatıs when I hit the mic.

    Out of no where come a natty dread lock,
    I'm thinking heıs the only one.
    Then I turn a round thereıs Rastas all around
    Now raggamuffins gonna have some real fun.

    How many days have we been breaking down the walls.
    How many walls do we break until these days are called off.

    One time with a clock its loaded fully i gotta hand but i cant be holding
    cant stay here cuz it cant be holy so i gotta keep on moving rolling
    Jim left town cuz he ainıt got money Chad still here didn't think him funny
    Binky got caught with a sack of gunny gotta give 'nuff respect to Sonny.

    Comin' on with a heavy heavy dance hall
    With a rub a dub ragga do it right.

    Sit back and listen to the lyrical dub attack
    Feel it from a head to a toe
    We trippin on a groove, its gonna make you move
    Its a bad ass city and a Badcard show.

    How many days have we been breaking down the walls.
    How many walls do we break until these days are called off.

    Comin' on with a heavy heavy dance hall
    With a rub a dub ragga do it right
    Gonna mash it up with the reggae DJ
    Tonight we all unite!

    With a grinding style let you listen for a while
    you will see that we are the only ones
    That really make it move weıre never gonna lose
    Now raggamuffins gonna have some real fun

    How many days have we been breaking down the walls.
    How many walls do we break until these days are called off.
