| "Triumph Of The Swill"
Life can only get better All you need to do is fall in love Everyone else has fun but you Buy that fun you'll fit in too
Dance your problems away GOVERNMENT MUSIC Cheap escape to that mind-control beat GOVERNMENT MUSIC Mellow out-Life's too hard You don't even want to think
See the macho cock-rock metal heroes Vomit fire out of their big mouths Shake your fists obediently Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud
See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar Parachute on the White House lawn Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar So dumb he can't drive 55
Like Bing Crosby before them GOVERNMENT MUSIC Too idiotic to be real GOVERNMENT MUSIC You want it loud? We'll make sure it goes nowhere So you won't get ideas
Triumph of the swill Triumph of the swill Triumph of the swill Triumph of the swill
Music is banned in Khomeini's Iran On the grounds that it stimulates the brain We've done him one better in the land of coke & honey Using music to put people's brains to sleep
Ever wonder why commercial radio's so bad? It's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years
So what do we get GOVERNMENT MUSIC Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes Shoppers strung out on our false hopes Will flock to obey
Triumph of the swill Triumph of the swill Triumph of the swill Triumph of the swill

| "Shrink"
If only people could shrink Our world wouldn't be so overcrowded Bring ourselves down to size There'd be so much more food to go 'round
Why don't we build a machine With all the know-how of the industries We put a man on the moon On earth we'll need more room to breathe real soon Oh
Drink your vaccine and let's shrink And bring your poodle so it doesn't eat us The roads will be so wide No traffic jams when we're half a foot tall Bring what you need down here We'll shrink it all by microwave Don't wanna die like dinosaurs We'll have enough resources to go round
Oh
So now you've made the big shrink Meanwhile we'll keep acting big We well-bred beautiful people Who says we have to go too? Cops and Mason businessmen Were exempted from the ovens As if you weren't already. The rest of you are all our termites now
Oh

| "The Great Wall"
Great Wall of China It's so big it's seen from outer space Put there to keep starving neighbors Locked outside the gates
What's changed today? Empires hoard more than they need And peasants threaten our comfort
We'll build a Great Wall around our power Build a Great Wall around our power
Bankrupt L.A.'s streetcar line So people pay more to drive Plant strategic freeways To divide neighborhoods by color lines
We'd rather pay for riot squads Than pump your ghetto back to life We let your schools decay on purpose
To build a Great Wall around our power Another Great Wall around our power
Warlords in grey suits Take a different route to work each day Second-hand green berets Form the companies' private armies. We'll take all your gold But won't teach reading or feed your poor The League of Gentleman Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators
There's too many people in your world And refugees are expensive When they trickled down onto our soil We hunt them and arrest them Classify them insane And put them back on the next plane To the waiting arms Of the same death squads they fled
We've built a Great Wall around our power Economic Great Wall around our power Worldwide Great Wall around our power
Give us your poor, Your tired and your weak We'll send 'em right back To their certain death

| "Fleshdunce"
We're world industry's thoughtlords The entertainment wing We keep you all in line
By fixing your free will Surround you with pop fantasies Just slightly out of reach To soften all the blows Of your forced daily routine
We strip-mine your underground culture Take the bite out and rinse it clean Give ourselves credit for creating it Then sell it back to you At twice the price
Our pool of talent vampires Has blown into your town To dazzle, sign and milk you All strictly on our own terms
You think you've got a lot to say We'll change that real soon You're not a person anymore We've made you a cartoon
By the time we're through remolding you You won't even recognize your face There's no end to the eager beavers Drawn the moths to our Babylon's mirage
Conveyor belt of fleshdunce They all want to do the fleshdance Conveyor belt of fleshdunce Who all want to do the fleshdance

| "A Commercial"
Have we got a telethon for you coming soon on MTV! A rockin' bankroll extravaganza featuring all your vigilante rock stars! Sammy Hagar:Sylvester Stallone:Clint Eastwood. It's so important we've even exhumed the bodies of Lynyrd Skynyrd! This ain't no sissy concert to raise food for the needy; this concerts whipped up the American way to raise money for guns for the greedy! So stay tuned and dig in those heels for:USA FOR SOUTH AFRICA!
It's USA for South Africa 'cause those poor, sex-starved riot battalions need more machine guns, more tear gas, more nerve gas, more electric fences for those prison camps they call "homelands." And who's going to give it to them? WE ARE! Every one of us! Everytime we go to the bank. Everytime we buy food at Theftway. Or those fancy chrome wheels for your hot car. It's USA FOR SOUTH AFRICA!
Don't delay! Apartheid is a BIG business! What would these American ladies do without those diamonds? You heard the White House:DON'T MISS IT! Have you're rich parents' money ready, world hunger's gone forever once your check's in the mail when MTV and the rock and racism connection bring you live, from Sun City, USA FOR SOUTH AFRICA! | |

"Do The Slag"
Have you heard about the latest craze That's sweepin' across the nation All the punks from coast to coast Have discovered an old invention:
"Your hair's too long Man, you're a queer You're too new wave Put down that beer:" and Do the Slag-Look at 'em run Do the Slag-Hey you scum Do the Slag-Ain't it fun Do the Slag-Let's all be dumb Badmouth people we don't know Make sure it's behind their backs Don't let new people in our scene It's more fun than having a friend We'll slag everyone each and every night So we can pretend that we're all right Make those pricks feel just so small We'll show the world that we're three feet tall
Slander their integrity Doubt their humanity Talk about their haircuts Are their politics correct?
Do the Slag! Don't let those sissies on the floor They're unhip, man, they bought the wrong clothes Let's all do the latest craze 'Cause having allies never pays We'll slag everyone each and every night So we can pretend that we're all right Make those pricks feel just so small We'll show the world that we're three feet tall

| "One-Way Ticket To Pluto"
Get ready for the Blast Off! And don't forget the Hype! We're going into space.
Distinguished scientists A pesky senator And monkey turds leaking from the lab All brought to us play-by-play by Howard Cosell
You're going where no man has gone before Because we owe you some favors And besides you're bright A little too bright
Step one: Senator, your vomit, It's time to analyze it For the folks back home
Open the hatch, launch the war satellite That the commies aren't supposed to know about Our real challenge is to keep it a secret From the press back home
You're going where no man has gone before Don't ask us where that is-we have no idea
You're chosen for this great mission Because you're hearty and strong And make a lot of fuss Especially around us We like you better when you're far away
Have you noticed? You're gong the wrong direction We have, But that's your problem We planned it that way We had to dispose of all of you so We can spoil the final frontier How dare you question our Star Wars plans For the farce that they are?
You're going where no man has gone before For rocking the boat In our temple of doom
You're on a one-way ticket to Pluto We wash our hands Of you and your lost Ark Don't forget to write: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

| "Cesspools In Eden"
Poison is bubbling Beneath your dreamhome Buried there years before
Kid runs in crying From playing in the garden "Mommy, I burned my hands!"
"What's making our eyes so itchy?" "Don't rub 'em-they'll swell up."
Oh Oh Oh Oh It's the big waste dump Oh, yeah
We built your ticky-tacky houses On landfill soil To cover up a gift We left you years before
Of toxic chemicals And leaking gas Just dig a little while, You'll find our acid baths
Cesspools In Eden Oozing away:
Groundwater's poisoned Air stings like hell The lines for doctors grow long
Over martinis The company laughs "We don't owe you one damn thing."
But what about all these fainting spells? How'd you like a lick From my open sores
And Oh:.Oh Oh Oh - Why are our babies stillborn?
A storage tank's leaking It's about to explode Why evacuate When you can watch the fun
Nothing happens here Get out the lawn chairs We'll drink pink lemonade And watch Martinez burn
Cesspools In Eden Oozing away Cesspools in Eden Leak by the day
The land we sold you Is right atop our acid pits We fill them by the truckload In the dead of night
There's thousands more toxic Tips of the iceberg We pay a little bribe Or we just don't report them
And see what you get- Cesspools In Eden In Eden No accident- Just a little of our greed-fueled negligence
So you've found the proof why Your cancer rate's shot up But whatcha gonna do When we've got all the cards
Times Beach, Rocky Flats, Love Canal & Bhopal Merry Christmas, hostages From the folks who care
Cesspools in Eden Oozing away Cesspools in Eden Leak by the day Cesspools in Eden Have a nice day

| "I Spy"
You look at me from the back of the room All I see is a bumbling buffoon Head down like you don't see much Until you move in to make your bust
I spy for you and me I spy for you and me
Disguised like you're one of the scene Just stand alone with no real friends Scared people will find out who you are Alone in the world without your telephone beeper
I spy for you and me I spy for you and me
Curious folks ask questions of life But you can't answer 'cause your heart's like a knife Still you feel you sing the last song sung You're just a heartless piece of scum with a gun
I spy for you and me I spy for you and me I spy I spy I spy

| "Where Do Ya Draw The Line"
Seems like the more I think I know The more I find I don't Every answer opens up so many questions
Anarchy sounds good to me Then someone asks, 'Who'd fix the sewers?' 'Would the rednecks just play king Of the neighborhood?'
How many liberators Really want to be dictators Every theory has its holes When real life steps in
So how do we feed And make room for All the people crowded on our earth And transfer all that wealth From the rich to those who need it
[Chorus:] Where do ya draw the line Where do ya draw the line Where do ya draw the line I'm not telling you I'm asking you
Ever notice hard line radicals Can go on start trips too Where no one's pure and right Except themselves
'I'm cleansed of the system.' ('Cept when my amp needs electric power) Or-'The Party Line says no. Feminists can't wear fishnets.'
You wanna help stop war? Well, we reject your application You crack too many jokes And you eat meat
What better way to turn people off Than to twist ideas for change Into one more church That forgets we're all human beings
[Chorus]
In Toronto someone blew up A cruise missile warhead plant 10 slightly hurt, 4 million dollars damage
Why not destroy private property When it's used against you and me Is that violence Or self-defense You tell me
[Chorus]

| "Chickenshit Conformist"
Punk's not dead It just deserves to die When it becomes another stale cartoon
A close-minded, self-centered social club Ideas don't matter It's who you know
If the music's gotten boring It's because of the people who want everyone to sound the same Who drive the bright people out of our so-called scene Till all that's left is a meaningless fad
Hardcore formulas are dogshit Change and caring are what's real Is this a state of mind Or just another label
The joy and hope of an alternative Have become its own cliché A hairstyle's not a lifestyle Imagine Sid Vicious at 35
Who needs a scene Scared to love and to feel Judging everything By loud fast rules appeal
Who played last night? "I don't know, I forgot. But diving off the stage Was a lot of fun."
[CHORUS] So eager to please Peer pressure decrees So eager to please Peer pressure decrees Make the same old mistakes Again and again, Chickenshit conformist Like your parents
What's ripped us apart even more than drugs Are the thieves and the goddamn liars Ripping people off when they share their stuff When someone falls are there any friends?
Harder core than thou for a year or two Then it's time to get a real job Others stay home; it's no fun to go out When the gigs are wrecked by gangs and thugs
When the thugs form bands, look who gets record deals From New York metal labels looking to scam Who sign the most racist queer-bashing bands they can find To make a buck revving kids up for war
Walk tall, act small Only as tough as gang approval Unity is bullshit When it's under someone's fat boot
Where's the common cause Too many factions Safely sulk in their shells Agree with us on everything Or we won't help with anything That kind of attitude Just makes a split grow wider
Guess who's laughing while the world explodes When we're all crybabies Who fight best among ourselves
[CHORUS]
That farty old rock and roll attitude's back "It's competition, man, we wanna break big." Who needs friends when the money's good That's right, the '70s are back.
Cock-rock metal's like a bad laxative It just don't move me, ya know? The music's OK when there's more ideas than solos Do we rally need the attitude too?
Shedding thin skin too quickly As a fan it disappoints me Same old stupid sexist lyrics Or is Satan all you can think of?
Crossover is just another word For lack of ideas Maybe what we need Are more trolls under the bridge
Will the metalheads finally learn something- Or will the punks throw away their education?
No one's ever the best Once they believe their own press "Maturing" don't mean rehashing Mistakes of the past
[CHORUS]
The more things change The more they stay the same We can't grow When we won't criticize ourselves
The '60s weren't all failure It's the '70s that stunk As the clock ticks we dig the same hole
Music scenes ain't real life They won't get rid of the bomb Won't eliminate rape Or bring down the banks
Any kind of real change Takes more time and work Than changing channels on a TV set
[CHORUS]

| "Gone With My Wind"
Wake up! Get down here quick! The president's had too much to drink His days of power are about gone He's been talking to paintings in the hall
He says, "I'm finished, so what the hell? My life is ruined, what matters now? I've always itched for that last great thrill: If I die all of you should too."
Gone with my wind Out with a bang I'm gonna end it all right now Gone with my wind Out with a bang You're coming with me, oh wow
My bombs will rain down on D.C. We'll nuke our enemies while they're asleep We'll be safe in the ground below And laugh and drink till the cows come home
So c'mon John, whadya say? It's been dancing in my head for years What'll happen if I push this button: Let's start World War III for fun
Gone with my wind Out with a bang I'm gonna end it all right now Gone with my wind Out with a bang You're coming with me, oh wow
Mr. President, just sit down We should talk a little while, I'll pour another round What about your memoirs' TV rights? Sit tight-and watch the fire:
Let go of me. Do you think I'm mad? To tell the truth, sir, I'd rather not say Just keep your paws inside your pockets And planet earth will be OK.
But you reached for the button anyhow I had no choice but to knock you out That's just last night's bump on your head On to the next crisis, it's another day
Gone with my wind Out with a bang I'm gonna end it all right now Gone with my wind Out with a bang You're coming with me, oh wow

Went to a party I danced all night I drank 16 beers And I started up a fight
But now I am jaded You're out of luck I'm rolling down the stairs Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck Too drunk to fuck Too drunk, to fuck I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk To fuck
I like your stories I love your gun Shooting out truck tires Sounds like loads and loads of fun
But in my room Wish you were dead You ball like the baby In Eraserhead
Too drunk to fuck Too drunk to fuck Too drunk, to fuck It's all I need right now Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck Too drunk to fuck Too drunk, to fuck I'm sick soft gooey and cold Too drunk to fuck
I'm about to drop My head's a mess The only salvation is I'll never see you again
You give me head It makes it worse Take out your fuckin' retainer Put it in your purse
I'm too drunk to fuck You're to drunk to fuck Too drunk to fuck It's all I need right now Oh baby I'm melting like an ice cream bar Oh baby
And now I got diarrhea Too drunk to fuck Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah Oooohhh

Tonight's the night that we got the truck We're goin' downtown gonna beat up drunks Your turn to drive I'll bring the beer It's the late, late shift no one to fear And ride, ride how we ride We ride, lowride
It's roundup time where the good whores meet Gonna drag one screaming off the street
And ride, ride how we ride
Got a black uniform and a silver badge Playin' cops for real/playin' cops for pay
Let's ride, lowride
Pull down your dress here's a kick in the ass Let's beat you blue 'til you shit in your pants Don't move, child got a big black stick There's six of us babe, so suck on my dick
And ride, ride how we ride Let's ride, lowride
The left newspapers might whine a bit But the guys at the station they don't give a shit Dispatch calls "Are you doin' something wicked?" "No siree, Jack, we're just givin' tickets"
As we ride, ride, how we ride Let's ride, lowride

Hey! Yo! We're the United States Marines We know you've all been killing each other For at least two thousand years But we're here now To protect the family Of Christian heroin warlords Most friendly to the West So you knock off this fighting Or we'll tell Mom Ever notice news Is taged like TV wrestling shows With Reagans and Khaddafis cast As cartoon villains and heroes Or those wildlife "documentaries" Where a lion from a zoo Kills a deer tied down ahead of time At the perfect camera angle When lemmings balk at dying for Disney They're just hurled off the cliff... We are gathered here today To take photos of the President Pretending to mourn these brave young me Who came home from Beirut Gift-wrapped in body bags- A truck bomb blew them to bits We knew they were sitting ducks We sacrificed 'em, Aztec style So we could use their dead meat To cook up war fever back home So make sure you take lots of pictures And slant your news our way Just like in Wild Kingdom We first tied down the prey We want people boiling for revenge In their living rooms So we can go play shoot-em-up Anywhere we choose And our backers can cash in Without the public asking questions

I am no one But I'm well known For I am the Man with the Dogs
I stare at you shopping Watch while you're walking Two dogs run around your toes
You turn around Two eyes break you down "Now, who does that guy think he's starin' at?"
Stop in your tracks You're being laughed at You armored ego is nude
And I do and I do Crack up 'cos I'm getting to you I see you I see you And you're pretty self-conscious too
Down to your church I'm looking for victims Spell of the Man with the Dogs
I'll haunt you And follow you to work That ghost is back again
Creep into you I won't go away You're taking yourself too seriously
I smile as you frown And turn to walk away Your habits for all to see
I see a shrew I see you And the rodent things you do You see you I see you And you're pretty self-conscious too
And I'm gonna crack your mask Yeah and I'm gonna laugh Open wide
Saw you again You'll see me tomorrow Curse of the Man with the Dogs
You may not like me You won't forget me Not safe even in Walgreen's
They've seen me Ask your friends 'Oh I know him' Seen but I'm never heard By your lot
A stare Is worth a thousand biting phrases See how stupid you are?
I dare you I dare you To erase my laser tattoo You see you you see you And you're pretty self-conscious too
And I'm gonna crack your mask Yeah, and I'm gonna laugh What's inside? Is it pubic hair Is it cobweb air I bet you just don't care

You used to be a partner in crime Now you say you ain't got the time
Gotta get serious, gotta plan Gotta pass those entrance exams Oh my God It's senior year All you care about is your career
[Chorus] It's a Life Sentence It's a Life Sentence It's a Life Sentence It's a Life Sentence
You're squelching your emotions All you talk about is old times You don't do what you want to But you do the same thing everyday
No sense of humor But such good manners Now you're an adult You're boring
[Chorus]
The walls are closing in You stayed too long in school I'd rather stay a child And keep my self-respect If being an adult Means being like you
Are you really you you you You you you you you you Are you really you? No
You're a chained-up dog fenced in a yard Don't see much, you can't go far Pace and froth, you're getting sick Run too fast and it'll snap your neck
You say you'll break out But you never do You're just another ant in the hill That's your Life Sentence

Who's that kid in the back of the room Who's that kid in the back of the room He's setting all his papers on fire He's setting all his papers on fire
Where did he get that crazy smile Where did he get that crazy smile We all think he's really weird We all think he's really weird
[Chorus] We never talk to him He never looks quite right He laughs at us We just beat him up What he sees escapes our sight
We never see him with the girls We never see him with the girls He's talking to himself again He's talking to himself again
Why doesn't he want tons of friends Why doesn't he want tons of friends Says he's bored when we hang around Says he's bored when we hang around
[Chorus]
We're all planning our careers We're all planning our careers We're all planning our careers He says we're growing old

| "Pull My Strings"
I'm tired of self respect I can't afford a car I wanna be a prefab superstar
I wanna be a tool Don't need no soul Wanna make big money Playing rock and roll
I'll make my music boring I'll play my music slow I ain't no artist, I'm a business man No ideas of my own
I won't offend Or rock the boat Just sex and drugs And rock and roll
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool My Payola! Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool My Payola!
You'll pay ten bucks to see me On a fifteen foot high stage Fatass bouncers kick the shit Out of kids who try to dance
If my friends say I've lost my guts I'll laugh and say That's rock and roll
But there's just one problem
[Chorus] Is my cock big enough Is my brain small enough For you to make me a star Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul Pull my strings and I'll go far
And when I'm rich And meet Bob Hope We'll shoot some golf And shoot some dope
Is my cock big enough? Is my brain small enough? [Repeat chorus, etc. etc.]

| "Saturday Night Holocaust"
There's a prefab building and a funny smell Around the hill outside of town Every now and then we wonder But we shrug our shoulders And get back to work
There's a railroad there and trains go by And there's people locked in cattle cars And have you noticed The french fries at the A&W Taste a little strange?
I drive down to the disco Pompadour and pink lamme I bow and blow the doorman He parts the chain, says join the game
A quick line in the girls room To the bar for the electrodes A coin into the right slits Tape my temple watch me go
Now I want your perfect Barbie-doll lips And I want your perfect Barbie-doll eyes Slip my fingers down your Barbie-doll dress Up and down your spandex ass
If I lit a match for you You'd melt before my eyes C'mere my pretty glow-worm You look so fine to dance with me
The fly-eye lights are throbbin' I'm burning up the floor Whirling twirling Close my eyes No faces judging me
But I want your perfect Barbie-doll lips And I want your perfect Barbie-doll eyes Slip my fingers down your Barbie-doll dress Up and down your spandex ass
A Hitler youth in jogging suit Smiling face banded 'round his arm Says, 'Line up, you've got work to do We need dog food for the poor'
A scream bleats out, we're herded into lines Customized vans wait outside I'm getting scared of my new home To Auschwitz condominiums we go Oh no
Now I want your perfect Barbie-doll lips And I want your perfect Barbie-doll eyes Let my fingers down your dress One more time
