lyrics
Cruisin' in their
big cars
And wastin' lots of gas
When are they gonna learn
That don't give 'em no class
Big lots full of mama's wagons,
Marquis, Trans-Ams, and Jeeps
All paid for by daddy
Ain't this life too cheap?
Frat cars, frat
cars
I can't stand those frat cars
Crowding up the streets
With all those stupid Greeks
Fuckin' with the freaks
Let's tow them away!
Hangin' out their
T- tops
And thinkin' that they're cool
And drinkin' beer in Izods
And actin' like a fool
Frat cars, they're so useless
Who needs them in our town
If we get rid of those frat cars
They'rell be no more frats around
Frat cars, frat
cars
I can't stand those frat cars
Crowding up the streets
With all those stupid Greeks
Fuckin' with the freaks
Let's tow them away!
Here we are
It's insane
You and me
For the time
Did you know
Did you say
I won't go
Will you stay
Your heartbeat
I'm watching
Your heartbeat
I'm talkin'
Your heartbeat
I'm watching
Your heartbeat
I'm talkin'
Here we are
It's insane
You and me
For the time
Did you know
Did you say
I won't go
Will you stay
Your heartbeat
I'm watching
Your heartbeat
I'm talkin'
Your heartbeat
I'm watching
Your heartbeat
I'm talkin'
All alone city
streets
Late at night off the beat
Hear footsteps more than two
Someone might be after you
It only happens
in the movies
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
In your car drivin'
home
Hitchhiker all alone
Pick him up to be nice
Toothy grin a butcher knife
It only happens
in the movies
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
Out of gas a stormy
night
Big old house with just one light
Knock on door if you dare
Go on in there's no one there
Walk into a crowded room
It's deathly still it's like a tomb
People never move their heads
They don't talk cause they're all dead
It only happens
in the movies
This is life it's not the movies
It only happens in the movies
Oh my god it's not the movies
When the world
is blown away and mutants are the thing
There won't be a government they'll just elect one king
He will play guitar and lead a brand new type of band
Mutant rock will be the rage and it will sweep the land
I'm livin' for
that mutant rock
I wanna dance to the mutant rock
I'll be there when the mutants rock
So gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme mutant rock
It will be a different
style, a different kind of beat
You will hear it everywhere, they'll play it in the streets
Mutants on their way to work and on their way to school
Carrying their radios to hear the king's new rules
I'm livin' for
that mutant rock
I wanna dance to the mutant rock
I'll be there when the mutants rock
So gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme mutant rock
It's OK, the king's
alright cause rhythm is the rule
Layin' down those rockin' laws, this kingdom has no fools
I'm livin' for
that mutant rock
I wanna dance to the mutant rock
I'll be there when the mutants rock
So gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme mutant rock
Detective, you're
acting just like a detective
You've always got to see
You've always got to follow me
Why don't you
go away and leave me alone
You've even gone and bugged my telephone
Detective
History, you want
to know all my history
You want to know where I've been
My life before and after ten
Why don't you
go away and leave me alone
You've even gone and bugged my telephone
Detective
Why don't you
go away and leave me alone
You've even gone and bugged my telephone
Detective
Why me, why are
you always behind me
Is there something you will learn
That you can use to make me burn
Why don't you
go away and leave me alone
You've even gone and bugged my telephone
Detective
Do you, do you
think you'll ever change me
I've gotta be what I've gotta be
Your rules will never set me free
Why don't you
go away and leave me alone
You've even gone and bugged my telephone
Detective
Stop, crowding
me
Stop, your mystery
Stop, the way you are
Stop, no time for that
Stop, look around
Stop, get a grip
Stop, see the ground
Stop, you get the picture
It's all out of
focus, no one notices
It's all out of focus, no one cares
It's all out of focus, no one gives a shit
The real world is...over
Stop, pictures
from home
Stop, life on thin ground
Stop, bordering on overtime
Stop, nonsense
Stop
Two strings and
two tones
Here I sit and I'm all alone
I'd like to meet you
I'd like to reach you
Hear your voice on the telephone
Hello...
In my cell everyday
I get my food from a little tray
I'm killing people on my wall
There's a psycho inside us all
I confuse them
all and they don't see
Sometimes it's Mommy, sometimes it's me
Sometimes it's Auntie with her ax
I lose control and then I get it back
Tomorrow at 3:00
I get out
I fooled them all, and there's no doubt
Auntie says that we're not through
Let's make it number twenty-two
I'm gonna kill you...
Shoot em up, bang
bang
Stick the needle in the vein
Coming down is the worst
Well if the drugs don't get you first
Red/Green
Red/Green
Red/Green
Stop and go
Nobody wants to
hear or see
Don't cause a scene baby that's the key
It's like a drug that takes control
Mechanical clones without a soul
Red/Green
Red/Green
Red/Green
Stop and go
And the people
everyday
They're building walls and drifting away
Keep the volume and the picture the same
Step out of line and they get your name
Red/Green
Red/Green
Red/Green
Stop and go
In the city, everybody
moves fast
Push and shove, and don't you get caught last
In the city, everybody says go
And they get you, if you go too slow
Same old chorus,
4 4 time
Same old words, A and B rhyme
In the city, no one cares
In the city, no one stares
In the city, there's
lots to do
In the city, let's see who is who
Out the window, everyday
Out the window, is the only way
In the city, God
it's great at night
All the people and all of the sights
In the city, there's a great pulse beat
In the city, they all talk with their feet
Nightbeat, it's
what I'm talking about
Nightbeat, I yell and scream and shout
Nightbeat, from my head to my toes
Nightbeat, you know I really let go
Nightbeat, it's
what I'm living for
Nightbeat, give me more and more
Nightbeat, you know I can't get enough
Nightbeat, it's got a crazy touch
Night Beat
Nightbeat, I've
got it in my feet
Nightbeat, I can't stay in my seat
Nightbeat, you know I'm feeling so good
Nightbeat, the only way they should
Night Beat
Love in monotone,
one note for two
Suspended motion suspended by you
I can't move forward, and I can't move back
There's no feeling with no contact, no contact
Got a job Got
a house
Got a car Got a kid
Got some clothes
Got a smile
Got some $ Got some friends
Got a gun Got
your locks
Got some dogs Got your alarms
I got me!
I want to be on
your T.V. so
That you might notice me...
You don't notice nothing
Else except that box that's
On your shelf
What's on T.V.
I Love Lucy
What do you see? Big Boy T.V.
Good Morning America
Sonny and Cher Show
Mary Tyler Moore Show
Rocky & Bullwinkle
I DON'T WANNA DANCE
(Gates, Kerr)
I don't wanna
be
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna dance
But you can
I'm so chic
I'm so neat
I don't wanna dance
But you can
I'll be myself
Be no one else
Cause I don't wanna dance
But you can
IDENTITY CRISIS
(Turner, Gates, Kerr)
I don't know why
when I'm walking down the street
That I get so many stares you know I think
I'm coming down with an
Identity Crisis....Who
am I
Identity Crisis....I don't know why
Identity Crisis....What's my name
You can't be different
without causing a scene
And no matter what you look like
There's always someone staring
There's always
someone looking and they're
Always gonna snicker and they're always
Gonna point and they're gonna give you an
IDENTITY CRISIS
THIN
LINE
(Turner, Gates, Kerr)
You walk this
line with an outlook so bleak
Never knowing why you're so weak
Go where you're told do what you're told to do
A black silhouette just passing thru
The thin line
of real is lost
Content to live in Hell on Earth
You're fading slowly into the past
The thin line of real is lost
You're in a trance
from media lies
Out of focus camera's eyes
You've only got yourself to blame
You keep supporting a worthless game
It's safe to say that you're going nowhere
You stand alone and you never care
I keep expecting you to wake from the dream
So silent you never scream
Take control and
give reason to being
Three dimensional hearing and seeing
Time is now you must awaken
The signs are telling you
The earth is shaking
And they tell
you
You're a mess How to dress
What you've found About your sound
And they tell
you
How to wear your hair How to care
How to live your life
And I say screw your cheap advice
And they tell
you
Everything's OK
To live their way
About what's right
About white might
Advice
You want us to
talk
But you're not gonna listen
You make it seem that we have a choice
It's not that easy
You just can't grant us favors
If you turn words around
Then it's an assault
You want complete
control
As long as we don't know
You want complete control
Don't let the others know
You got complete control
As long as we don't know
You want complete control
Don't let the others know
Tell me again
How I have my freedom
You get your say
And we'll compromise
Business is fun
You have to outsmart them
I'll be your friend
If you let me hold the gun
WORK WITHOUT PAY
(Gates, Kerr)
Work without pay
Work without thinking
Daily routines
God I'm sinking
Monotony surrounds
me
Monotony astounds me
I can work for hours
And never use my mind
Bum job just for
money
They should give you extra
Instead of their choices
Quit or stay forever
Don't watch the
band baby
Watch your feet
You look at us
And you might miss the beat
At the bar they got nothing to do
If all the customers are watching you
Don't be visual
Just play
Be a robot
And pick up your pay
You hired another
band
That's just a little weird
Mr. Big is worried
Over not selling beer
Pleasing customers is not your show
Getting the money
Is all you know
You want a band
That's a total bore
You never care
How fun we are
We don't care
If you don't ask us back
People won't hear us
Is the only drag
ACT/ REACTION
(Turner, Gates, Kerr)
People killing
people
Without any reason
Put the gun to your head
If you're alone
There's no thought when your feelings
Start taking over
Just react to the scene
You were just shown
Act, act reaction
Act, act reaction
Act, act reaction
Act, act reaction
A sudden moment
And you've gone too far again
You're not yourself
Anymore
Bright day changes
Into a dark moon
It will never be
As before
I believe that
you see
More than you tell
Eyes that hear hands that talk
Build your own jail
Gather up all the things
You call your own
A walking book telephone
You're all alone
You accuse me
Take for granted
Self contortion
I'm enchanted
You think that
you
Got it made
You think you're on top
You can drive your
Daddy's car
God, you're just so pop
Kid wise up
Your life sucks
Kid wise up
Your life sucks
Hey, my dad's
a lawyer
My dad owns a bank
Let's go out and
Find some girls
My car's got
A full tank
Mommy gave it
all
To you
10 credit cards or more
They haven't bought
You anything
Cause you are
Still a bore
HISTORY
(Kerr, Gates, Turner, Washam)
We all talk about
world peace
But then war comes again
Dr. King and the Kennedys
Murder takes another friend
Korea, 'Nam, El Salvador
The name is never the same
Laser guns and germ warfare
New toys but the same old game
History repeats itself
And people are
starving everyday
The poor and sick are going uncured
While Mr. Big's huge bank account
Lets him rest so assured
The 1920s and the 1950s
No one was singin' the blues
Depression came and took it away
You're always paying dues
History repeats itself
And punk rock's
not so far removed
From Little Richard or the early Stones
Look around and see how much
And just how little we've grown
Sometimes the scene's so very good
Sometimes there's nothing to do
The past's a circle going round and round
The future's up to you
You make me nervous
and I go insane
Too many problems seem to drain my brain
I had a heart but I don't anymore
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
Question shapes
are all I can see
Blank face robots always haunting me
You make me nervous I can't stand anymore
Broke down my mind and I crawled the floor
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
You never touch
you never even try
I open up and you go run and hide
You're walkin' backwards through an open door
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
Distrust and mistrust
are all I can see
You're always trying to put something over on me
You're all alone in a boat with no shore
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
You make me nervous
and I crawl the floor
You make me nervous and I crawl the floor
If radiation hasn't
changed the glory boys from
their goal range and real facts just won't sway
the few you think that there's something you can do?
I'm Apolitical I'm Apolitical
I don't care El
Salvador can blow itself right off
the world and Reagan there with all his plans is
is just another yes-no man
I'm Apolitical I'm Apolitical
It's hard for
me to take a stand when everyone
has got the plans to push the button on the bomb it's
just a scene and I'm a pawn
I'm Apolitical I'm Apolitical
Leave me alone
you pamphleteers give it up
and buy me a beer so many causes in the world today
they just get in the way
I'm Apolitical I'm Apolitical
HOLLYWOOD SWINGING
(Kool and the Gang)
Hey hey hey
Whatcha got to say
Hey hey hey
Whatcha got to say
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Say I remember
Not too long ago
I went into a theater baby
I saw the Kool and the Gang show
I always wanted
To be in a band
To sing my songs
And be a bad piano playin' man
So here I am
In this Hollywood city
The city of the stars, women, music, and cars
I guess I guess I'll be a star
Hey hey hey
Whatcha got to say
Hey hey hey
Whatcha got to say
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Hollywood swinging

Say I remember
Not too long ago
I went into a theater baby
I saw the Kool and the Gang show
I always wanted
To be in a band
To sing my songs
And be a bad piano playin' man
Hey hey hey
Whatcha got to say
Hey hey hey
Whatcha got to say
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Hollywood
Hollywood swinging
Forgetting all
the numbers
You're turning your back
Reject the possibility
That you could be off track
Conflict...value
judgement
Conflict...barriers crumble
Refuse to fit
in your mold
Makes us stronger still
Breaking ranks all the time now
Unclassifiable still
Everything in categories
Put the same with same
What about the one that's different?
He's not in the game
Have to have a category so you will understand...that's your problem
Using terms to
fit yourself
You're building your own tomb
Close your eyes and give your judgement
You're giving us no room
Have to have a
category so you will understand...that's your problem
Have to have a category so you will understand...that's your problem
Have to have a category so you will understand
WE GOT SOUL
(Fawns, Gates, Kitto, Gates, Kerr)
we got soul
we got soul
we got soul
let's take control
we got soul, let's
take control
we got soul, let's take control
we got soul, let's take control
we got soul, let's take control
You don't understand
a word we say
You don't listen to us anyway
All of this it's just for fun
We're not out to hurt no one
Fun, Fun, Fun
that's what we play
Fun, Fun, Fun that's what we say
Fun, Fun, Fun no matter what they say
Fun, Fun, Fun we'll have some anyway
I'm a punk and
I like SHAM
COCKNEY REJECTS are the world's greatest band
But I like JOY DIVISION, PUBLIC IMAGE too
Even though that's not what I'm supposed to do
Fun, Fun, Fun
that's what we play
Fun, Fun, Fun that's what we say
Fun, Fun, Fun no matter what they say
Fun, Fun, Fun we'll have some anyway
WE GOT YOUR MONEY
(Kerr, Gates, Turner)
I want to be a
problem
I want to cause a scene
I want to get reactions
And wake you from you dream
I don't care if you don't like it
Or you think that it's the best
As long as you remember
Then we're up with all the rest
I want to be different
I want to make you see
I want to make you wonder
Is it you or is it me?
I'm the big question
You'll never understand
And to all you frat boys
WE GOT YOUR MONEY IN OUR HANDS
(hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)
Fantasies are
over now
Yours is not the only way
Accept that there's some other views
And leave if you don't want to stay
What's the matter?
Are you scared
Your stance may not be so strong?
Get rid of the competition
Easier to prove them wrong
Worried about your so-called "image"
It's the way then what's to fear?
Give you an alternative-
Only if you come in here
We're all free
to do the things man wants us to do
Push too far, they'll take your car and what belongs to you
There's a law that they can find to stop most anything
The pressure's here, the subtle fear makes you scream
People always
getting stopped for stepping out of bounds
Don't give up just get back in and go another round
Don't give them what they expect, let's keep them on their toes
There's many things that we can do-so here we go
I'm no better
than you
You're no better than me
Don't give me that bullshit
Just because we don't agree
I'M SORRY
It's become a
case
What am I supposed to do?
Change the way I feel
Just because of you?
I'M SORRY
WE'RE NOT IN IT TO LOSE
(Gates)
The time has come
to say what you mean
No more sitting around or hiding behind schemes
The time has come-and you've got to say
No matter what you do, we won't go away
WE'RE NOT IN IT TO LOSE-FUCK YOU!
Use any excuse
to try and keep us down
We know that you're scared of what you see all around,
We don't fit your dream, your safe reality
But we'll do what we want,
Because we got to be free
Sick to death,
I'm sick of you
Sick of me, what's left to do?
Slit your wrist, what will that prove?
One point for them, and us we lose
OPPRESSION DEPRESSION
OPPRESSION
FIGHT BACK!
Everything is
going bad
Kind of seems like we've been had
I've had enough, how about you?
This depression-is it through?
Are you ready
to take a stand?
Make a fanzine-make a band
You're telling me you got something to say
Quit your bitching, there's a way
I'm behind you,
you don't see me
I watch you when you're near me
You say words the sound is missing
I just look, and watch and listen
SOUND ON SOUND
Love is just infatuation
You are me and I am you
Looking back it's just reflections
It's just something else to do
BRICK WALL
(Kerr, Gates, Turner)
Let's all yell
so we'll be heard
You talk louder and I'll talk louder
BRICK WALL-BRICK WALL-BRICK WALL-BRICK WALL!
I smash your head
to get this in
You don't agree I'll fucking hit you harder
I'll stay here
as long as you
Scream and yell 'till I turn blue
Testing on my
belief
Volume makes my point, not thought
Comfortable, I'm
comfortable
Comfortable, I'm comfortable
Comfortable, I'm comfortable
I DON'T REALLY GIVE A FUCK!
JUMP THE FENCE
(David Fenster)
The sound I'm
hearing
Should not be spoken
It enters my mind
All rules are broken
It's the voice of reason
Speaking as my conscience
There will be some treason
Same old sort of nonsense
AMBIVALENCE
I ALWAYS JUMP THE FENCE
Look at the good
things
Not good for long
I thought I had it
I was all wrong
But now my mind is made up
Everything is final
Until the time I change it
There is no denial
You want to want
One step removed
To have, to have
To be improved
But now if doubt is out
And intuition is in
In an instant out of instinct
I'll start all over again
I'm walking down
the street
And everywhere I go
Fools are always yelling-
They won't leave me alone
You think you've got a right
To scream and yell at me?
You never realize that
What you do is wrong
ASSAULT ASSAULT
ASSAULT ASSAULT
Common sense tells
you to
Mind your own business
You go out of your way
To cause a scene
Why do they say the U.S.A. is
The land of the free?
Don't tell me that my freedom
Is just another dream
ASSAULT ASSAULT
ASSAULT ASSAULT
I was thinking
about the things I heard today
And did they tell you, most are rumors anyway
Conversation, leads to feelings up or down
And I can lead you by the way my wording sounds
MANIPULATION it's
always in the news
MANIPULATION it always seems to cause the news
The written word
could drop a hundred bombs
And break up close friends, break the strongest, closest bonds
Conversation, leads to feelings up or down
And I can lead you by the way my wording sounds
Talk about the
problems and talk about the girls,
Talk about the war and the end of the world,
Talk about the boredom cause it's all the same,
Talk about the
boredom cause it's all around,
Songs are just words that go with the sound
WHAT CAN WE DO?
CHANGE IT
WHAT CAN WE SAY? CHANGE IT
WHAT CAN WE DO? CHANGE IT
WHAT CAN WE SAY? CHANGE IT
Religion sucks
and so do all the rules,
You just learn to FIT IN when you go to school,
Rich people laugh while the poor people crawl,
We try to walk and the pigs bust us all
Things are falling,
we walk down the line,
Nobody's perfect, we're all serving time,
Things all get built up just to fall down,
A big fucking circle that always goes round
Gator boys and
gator girls
Living in an Izod world
A million clones, they're all the same
Rich little assholes with no brains
GATOR FUCKING
BOYS
GATOR FUCKING GIRLS
GATOR FUCKING YOU
GATOR FUCK THEIR WORLD
All their lives
they've never seen
Protected in their little dream
They don't know what's going on
They don't know what's going wrong
WHITE NIGGER
(Kerr, Gates, Turner)
Don't you know
you put me down
You try to make me live a frown
But my life is looking up
I'm having fun-I'm not in a rut
WE ARE ALL WHITE
NIGGERS
WE ARE ALL WHITE NIGGERS
WE WON'T BE WHITE NIGGERS NO MORE
Someone always
pushing me
Oppressor man, why won't you let me be?
Things won't seem half as bad
If you get to rocking with your rocking dad
BABY LET'S PLAY GOD
(Kerr, Gates)
Baby, let's play
God
You do everything I say
And if you're real nice to me
I might let you be the pope someday
GOD, GOD, GOD
BABY, LET'S PLAY GOD
What's this with
this complex in you?
When you say jump, we're all supposed to move
I've turned the tables now and I've got the gun
And God is pissed so you better run!
GOD, GOD, GOD
BABY, LET'S PLAY GOD
Baby, let's play
God,
And I'll be God so who are you?
It's not important what you want anyway
When you're God you get the final say
GOD, GOD, GOD
BABY, LET'S PLAY GOD
NO
(Kerr, Gates, Washam)
My head's about to bust
If something doesn't happen I'm gonna blow
So many things I wanna do and say
And everyone keeps telling me
They keep saying No.., No.., No
It's not easy
anymore
When we were kids we could smile it off
But now it's all about responsibilities
And anything goes wrong it's gonna set me off
No.., No
Different feelings
come and they go
Sometimes they make you want to lose control
Sometimes they take control of you
If I'm not responsible what am I supposed to do
No.., No
I'm so tired of
all this sittin' around
I'm so tired of all this bringin' me down
I'm so tired of all the rules of the game
I'm so tired of all this same old thing
Now I know, now
I know, it's just a narrow view
Now I know, now I know, all's you can see is you
Now I know, now I know, it's just a narrow view
Now I know, now I know, nothing will ever change you
I'm so bored of
all this young stupidity
I'm so bored of all this wreckin' the scene
I'm so bored of all this fighting with you
I'm so bored of all this try and take it through
I
DO CARE
(Kerr, Gates, Washam)
Hands up in the
air
Don't come near me I can do it
Pull the trigger on this gun
End it now I swear it's coming
It's a statement
it's a fact
An idea it's just ideas
You've got yours and I've got mine
I don't care I do care
Oh, listen
Oh, listen
You must be deaf
You never hear a single word I say
And still you look at all the facts
And then you don't see anyway
Hear what you
will
See what you will
Say what you will
That's not my problem
Hear what you will
See what you will
That's not my problem
You never listen anyway
Oh, listen
Oh, listen
You miss so much
I know it just can't be me
And still you insist
Why can't you see
Hear what you
will
See what you will
Say what you will
That's not my problem
Hear what you will
See what you will
That's not my problem
You never listen anyway
Oh, listen
Oh. listen
There's no point
In going on with this game
No winners, no losers
It's always the same
Dance Life is
just a party
Dance Life is just a party
Dance Life is just a party
Dance Life is just a party
Attitudes, not
1,2,3
Attitudes the way to be
Ask the people on the street
What's the word that's in their feet?
If you got the
word the shout it out
If you got the word the shout it out
If you got the word the shout it out
The word is funk!
Dance Life is
just a party
Dance Life is just a party
Dance Life is just a party
Dance Life is just a party
Close your ears
and close your eyes
Lose your weapon of disguise
Sneaks upon your sneak attack
It's the word that's in your back
If you got the
word then shout it out
If you got the word then shout it out
If you got the word then shout it out
If you got the word then shout it out
Attitudes, not
1,2,3
Attitudes the way to be
Ask the people on the street
What's the word that's in their feet?
If you got the word then shout it out
COMMON BEAT
(Turner, Gates, Washam, Kerr)
It's a common
beat
When the school is the street
There is nothing
left inside of me
Nothing, I do not feel
There is nothing left inside of me
Only a rage I can't conceal
There is no love
No love left inside of me
There is no love
And no place to hide
No love
I find myself
going through the motions
But I don't care anymore
I try and I try to make it happen
But I'm not even sure what for
There is no love
No love left inside of me
There is no love
And no place to hide
No love
So there's nothing
left
Deep inside of me
It rained on my house for too long
And I don't care about anything
And still this shit goes on
There is nothing
left inside of me
Nothing, I do not feel
There is nothing left inside of me
Only a rage I can't conceal
There is no love
No love left inside of me
There is no love
And no place to hide
No love
What can I do
or say
To let you know the state I'm in
And just what will that prove
How can you ever understand
I'm sittin' in the sun
Waitin' for the rain to come
Looking into the dawn
And wishing that this day was done
I don't know which
way to go
I just don't know which way to go
My all my everything
And now even that is gone
And still I try to sing
But the same old words still come
When will there be something
To take the place of all this
Or is it me that's died
And the rest of the scene still exists
I don't know which
way to go
I just don't know which way to go
KILLING TIME
(Kerr, Gates, Washam)
This killing time
Is killing me
It's killing you
It's killing me
It's killing time
Is killing me
Is killing me
It's killing time
I work and slave
for my pay
Do things I hate for a living
I want my freedom before it's too late
Economic circumstances cause misgivings
I know you know
what we all want
A life of leisure it's not too much
I know you know what we all want
What is your pleasure, what is your pleasure
40 hours what
do I live for?
A trailer and a weekend somewhere
Just to be happy and free from doubt
Situations that we can share
I could get a
job 9 to 5
In some office somewhere
And settle into a comfortable life
And rot my brain, but where's the fun of it?
(Instrumental)
You talk and talk
and talk so endlessly
You know you talk so much that I just can't see
All the news your telling me, I've heard before
I've got to get away, I just can't take anymore
Shut up, why don't
you
Shut up, you never
Shut up, why don't you
There's so many
people talking in this world
Isn't it amazing no one's ever heard
Still they go on babbling all through their days
Don't they realize that words just get in the way
Why do I keep
listening to the same old mess
I said, all this constant chatter's boring me to death
The nonsense that you're saying, it means nothing to me
Why don't you just shut up and just let me be
All the noise
you make just ain't no fun
Don't you understand it don't interest no one
All this fuckin' racket always going on
I said you better shut up, I'm gonna turn you off
I hate authority
Can't stand authority
Don't like authority
I hate authority, yes I do
Don't tell me
what to do
Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to see
You've got no hooks in me, no you don't
There's no reason
for you
To mess in my affairs
Get away from my face
You'll wish that you weren't here, get away
I've got hands
and I've got feet
I've got ears to hear the beat
I've got ears and I can see
Everything I do is me
Money it exchanges
hands
Money it can change a man
I won't bow to no man's hip
What you see is what you get
Public product
Not for sale
I'm not for sale
Public product
Not for sale
Fame is what you
find inside
Fuck the others, you can't hide
From the fact that when it's through
All you've got yourself is you
Public product
Not for sale
(Instrumental)
Influence, swinging
to the left and right
Influence, taking out the wrong from right
Influence, questions to your point of view
Influence, things I'd like to try and do
The answers, you
have them, tell me what I should know
Each day now, I'm changing, and my reflection shows
Influence, everybody
has their own
Influence, changing points of view you're shown
Influence, questions to your points of view
Influence, things I'd like to try and do
Who's in charge here
Is this cool, am I cool
Well it's not right then who cares
Fuck a bunch of rules
It's just another faction
Your rules, what rules
It's just another idea
It's not a fuckin' set of rules
It's just another idea
C'mon man, gimme a chance it's just another idea
Everyone of us have got an idea we can share it
Gimme a break it's something I thought about
We're all here because we want
to be free
We're tired of other people's formalities
Set an example don't set a rule
Think for yourself no one person rules
Divide us we fall
It could kill it all
It's the truth!
I do what I can you do what you
must
Live and let live is the idea of no rules
I think what I think you think what you think
Freedom to choose is what sets us apart
DAMAGE 43 (a.k.a. THE BIG PICTURE)
(Turner, Kerr, Gates)
Why can't you
see the big picture
Your view of life, is like looking backwards through a telescope
Talking to you is useless, there's no talking to you because the
blinders are already on
I don't understand
how you can be so radical, and then again be so narrow minded
You hate everybody, just like everybody hates you
Hey man, I can't see why you can't see the fuckin' big picture
Your view of life,
is like looking backwards through a telescope
All you see and all you do is useless
Hey man, there's no talking to you because the blinders are already
on
THE
SEED
(Kerr, Gates, Turner)
The hiss of the
candle
That casts your black shadow
Catches fire all around you
And burns your soul to the ground
The many tongued demon
Is calling out the devil
His words twist your body
Screams are your only sound
Cast your spell
oh devil
You cast your spell on me
Cast your spell oh devil
You're pulling me in far too deep
Your strange little
house
So deep down inside you
The windows are all bolted
The locks are on the doors
Where other world's secrets
Are set into their motion
Pictures of your life
Are all jagged and torn
A dirty little
alter
You etched into those old walls
You said your prays my friend
Unto a pile of bones
The madness overcomes you
As the flames grow higher
The seeds of evil my friend
The seeds of evil's been sown
(Instrumental)
Fuck the normals, they ain't worth
a damn
Fuck the president, throw the congress in the slam
Fuck the schools, and stick their fuckin' rules
Fuck education, degeneration
New wave salve, I'll dig the new
wave grave
They'll never make me behave, yes I'm a new wave slave
Fuck the companies, and their
fuckin' oil
They'll rape the planet 'til it fuckin' spoils
Fuck the flag, the little Nazi rag
Fuck the chic, they're all social geeks
