Even though Social Distortion has been around forever, it wasn't really until much later that I actually decided to check out their tunes. However, when I finally fell for them, I fell for them hardcore! Yummy... Mike Ness!!!
So, when I was teaching, seeing as though it was a Catholic school, the principal made a feeble attempt, at one point, to get the staff to wear uniform shirts. Every time I put on that lame uniform shirt with the school's logo embroidered on, I could not help but think about how awesome it would look if I could just sew a band patch over it. Upon quitting, I did just that... I sewed my beloved Social Distortion patch on...
Social Distortion recently stopped by the Gas Monkey Bar N Grill in Dallas, but sadly, I did not make it out. In fact, for as many times as they have been through Dallas, I have yet to see them play live.
Today, I will include a few of my favorites (that are not necessarily considered their hits) called "Don't Drag Me Down" and "Under My Thumb" (Rolling Stones cover). I will also include "Making Believe" and "Cold Feelings", but make sure you also check out the rest of their stuff because they are amazing!!!

Children are taught to hate
Parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor
Others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don't drag me down
Ignorance is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don't drag me down
Ignorance is like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books
Are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen
Wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in
The Klu Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
And four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
And paint it black
[x2] Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don't drag me
Down
Some are rich and some are poor
Others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don't drag me down
Ignorance is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around

They'll try to keep you down
Turn around [x2]
Don't drag me
Down
