about

BAPTIZED IN VIBE

Born in the slums
Baptized in vibe
Everyday I care a little less
About gettin’ it right
Oh Frankie and Johnny
They tell me
It’ll be alright


At the podium
I was lionized
My best girl was there
There were tears in my eyes
Everybody except me know
I would survive

Born in the slums
Baptized in vibe
Born in the slums
Baptized in vibe

I broke free and attacked
On the Champs-Elysees
Everybody caught up
I was having a smoke
I said, “Hey.”
Sometime you fuck around and you get your way

Born in the slums
Baptized in vibe
Everyday I care a little less
I get a little less uptight
Amy and Christopher swore it would be alright

We were born in the slums
Now we’re baptized in vibe
Born in the slums
And now we’re Baptized!

Ooh, you think it’s over
Oooh, but you don’t know her
You don’t know her!

Born in the slums
Baptized in vibe
Everyday I care a little less
I get a little less uptight
Everybody ‘cept me knew
Oh everybody ‘cept me knew
Everybody ‘cept me knew
I WOULD SURVIVE!

Joey Sweeney Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Joey Sweeney has recorded and performed as a solo artist, with The Barnabys and The Trouble With Sweeney, receiving widespread critical acclaim; of his last record with The Trouble With Sweeney, Pitchfork said “[Sweeney] mixes autobiography and fiction against the group’s 70s-inflected indie pop, resourceful— and unabashed— enough to digress into an E Street interlude or an AM-rock guitar coda.” ... more
