Description

“Gun violence aint cool what happened to fist fightin”

Handwritten lyrics to an apparently unpublished song by Joey Ramone. The untitled and unsigned lyrics are written on both sides of a 9 x 12 unopened envelope from Corcorans of New York, addressed to “Jeff Hyman.” Ramone writes, in full (with grammar and spelling retained): “What’s with all / the violence / hatred / copycat killings / shootings in school / aint you got any / imagination gun violence / aint cool / what happened to / fist fightin / enraged—bout whats / goin on around here / this countrys / really fallen by / the fuckin / wayside / or is it the media that inspires this jive, but I’m / glad to be alive / is it the government / It’s like a bad / movie on the / late late show.” An interesting opinion of Ramone’s on the state of the country. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the Joey Ramone Estate. Pre-certified REAL.
