BOC: Guster's Red Oyster Cult

[Brian Halligan]

The college-rock band has a song called "Red Oyster Cult" on their latest
album. The lyrics are below. I suppose the writer is equating BOC with his
youth and playing music without worrying about "changing the world."

> Doesn't it bring you down
> So many lights and sounds
> Call your mom on the telephone
> Tell her you're coming home
> Tell her there's not a chance
> You're ever going to change the world
> If you want to be free, take a sip of this tea
> Join the red oyster cult
> If you drink the whole cup, you will never grow up
> You will never grow old
> Remember when you were 14
> You'd paint every picture so green
> Call your mom on the telephone
> Tell her your muse is gone
> Tell her there's not a chance
> You're ever going to change the world
> Just a few drops away, you'll never want to change the world
> If you want to be free, take a sip of this tea
> Join the red oyster cult
> If you drink the whole cup, you will never grow up
> You will never grow old
> Call your mom on the telephone
> Tell her you're coming home
> Tell her there's not a chance you're ever going to change the world
> Just a few drops away
> You'll never have to change
