Slam Jam

SLAM JAM - Written by Carroll Bryant


All the world was getting ready
To play the final party
To celebrate the coming
Of the end of another summer

At bat but not a chance
As the ground started its shaking
Mother Nature did her dance
Hearts, souls, and buildings breaking

It only goes on to prove
Everything we got we stand to lose

Slam jam - Out goes the lights
Slam jam - Another fight 
Slam jam with tearful eyes
As San Francisco dies

Slam jam - Out goes the lights
Slam jam - The longest night
Slam jam for all who cried
On the night San Francisco died

All of society must battle with their dreams 
As Mother Nature screams, "Don't you dare tread on me!"

What takes so long to build
Tragedy in one day kills
So do with it just what you will
Mankind must always rebuild

It only goes to show
What we think we just don't know

Slam jam - Out goes the lights
Slam jam - Another fight 
Slam jam with tearful eyes
As San Francisco dies

Slam jam - Out goes the lights
Slam jam - The longest night
Slam jam for all who cried
On the night San Francisco died

"All of San Francisco is stunned as an Earthquake rattles through the city prior to the start of the third game of the World Series between the Giants and the Oakland A's, registering a 6.9 on the Richter Scale ....."

"At least 250 deaths are expected or believed ..."

"The fatality numbers cannot be confirmed ..."

"An Earthquake at approximately 5:04 PST rips through the city by the bay ..."

"We cannot, at this time, confirm any of the reports regarding the death toll, only that it could be massive. We are playing it moment by moment as the situation develops ..."

"This is, reportedly, the third largest quake in the history of the San Francisco area ..."

"The death toll is believed to reach some 250 or more. Again, this cannot be confirmed ..."

What the hell is going on, revelations?
