5. CARBONA NOT GLUE Written by The Ramones 1:50 This song was only available on the first LP pressings. Why? This song was a sequel to 'Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue' . Their point was that after you've done glue, you move on to Carbona. They thought it was a substance and not a trademark, and when Carbona threatened to sue, the record company pulled it off after the initial pressing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wondering what I'm doing tonight I've been in the closet and feel all right Ran out of Carbona, mom threw out the glue Ran out of paint and roach spray too It's TV's fault why I am this way Mom and pop wanna put me away From the early morning movie to the late late show After it's over nowhere to go And I'm not sorry for the things I do My brain is stuck from shooting I'm not sorry for the things I do Carbona not glue Back to top
