Buck-O-Nine Lyrics

Policeman smoking pot in the parking lot of a cocktail bar
Rockstar junkie dies of an overdose at 27
Watch it on the tube and listen to it on the radio
The thing that baffles me are the things we cannot see

Headlines, what we gonna read tomorrow?
Headlines, something that we see today
Headlines, guns and tears and sorrows
What will the headlines read today?

Man of 65 said he's gonna die by the hand of her
Points to a street woman who's had too much to drink
She chased him into a bank where he screamed, "Call 911"
The thing that baffles me are the things we cannot see

Headlines, what we gonna read tomorrow?
Headlines, something that we see today
Headlines, guns and tears and sorrows
What will the headlines read today?

Party winding down then a sudden frown
Over a bottle of wine, she said, "That's mine"
Then a sudden crack she smashed his face

I guess it can't be, I guess it can't be seen
I guess it can't be, I guess it can't be seen
I guess it can't be, I guess it can't be seen
What will the headlines be today?

Headlines, what we gonna read tomorrow?
Headlines, something that we see today

Buck-O-Nine has released several albums including Songs in the Key of Bree, Barfly, Twenty-Eight Teeth, and Libido.

Currently Buck-O-Nine still plays shows for fun. They have re-connected with the positive, fun vibe that the band originated from.
