Government Flu Lyrics

[Count In]

One, two, three four

[Verse 1]

We got a drug

We're gonna try it out on you

Won't make you die

It'll getcha just a little bit sick

[Chorus]

Got a head cold

Got a chest cold

And it's three days old

Goin' on forever

Make you hazy

Make you lazy

Drive you crazy

For days and days and days and days and days

And years

[Verse 2]

Barely got the time now

To stay on the job

Double up the dosage in your water supply

Make you even sicker till you're slippin' away

Getting all depressed

It's getting all your friends

You can't get it up

For nothing that'll rock the boat

No!

[Refrain]

The government flu

[Verse 3]

Slip it abroad

Keep a-slowin' down the USSR

But meanwhile, we'll keep an eye

On what it's doin' to you

[Chorus]

Got a head cold

Got a chest cold

And it's three days old

Goin' on forever

Make you hazy

Make you lazy

Drive you crazy

For days and days and days and days and days

And days and days and days and days and days

And years

[Outro]

The government flu

The government

Flew through you

Terminal Preppie Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I go to college; that makes me so cool

I live in a dorm and show off by the pool

I join the right clubs just to build an impression

I block out thinking; it won't get me ahead

[Pre-Chorus]

My ambition in life

Is to look good on paper

All I want is a slot

In some big corporation

[Verse 2]

Belushi's my hero; I lampoon and I ape him

My news of the world comes from Sports Illustrated

I'm proud of my trophies like my empty beer cans

Stacked in rows up the wall to impress all my friends

[Pre-Chorus]

No, I'm not here to learn

I just want to get drunk

And major in Business

And be taught how to fuck

[Bridge]

Win! Win!

I always play to win

Wanna fit in like a cog

In the faceless machine

[Chorus]

I'm a terminal, terminal, terminal preppie

Terminal, terminal, terminal preppie

Terminal, terminal, terminal, terminal

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I want a wife with tits

Who just smiles all the time

In my centerfold world

Filled with Springsteen and wine

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Someday, I'll have power

Someday, I'll have boats

A tract in some suburb

With Thanksgivings to host

[Chorus]

I'm a terminal, terminal, terminal preppie

Terminal, terminal, terminal preppie

Trust Your Mechanic Lyrics

[Verse 1]

TV invents a disease

You think you have

So, you buy our drugs

And soon, you depend on them

Pain is in your mind

Gotcha comin' back for more

Again and again and again and again

Gonna rip you off, rip you off

[Verse 2]

Doctor says you need surgery now

You're feelin' good till the side effects

Fuck up something else

You're ensnared by the medicine man

Paying up the ass again and again

Gonna rip you off

[Chorus]

Trust your mechanic to mend your car

Bring it into his garage

He tightens and loosens a few spare parts

One thing's fixed, another falls apart

And the rich eat you

[Verse 3]

A magazine says

Your face don't look quite right

Unless you wear

Our brand-new wonder cream tonight

Never look right again

Unless you grease your skin

Again and again and again and again

Gonna rip you off

[Verse 4]

Told you're depressed

So, of course, you see the psychiatrist

Right when you hit your neuroses' roots

He confuses you

He fucks your head up worse

Gotcha feeling helpless

You're comin' back for more again and again

Gonna rip you off, rip you off!

[Chorus]

Trust your mechanic to make you well

You're seeing an awful lot of him now

The quicker he makes your life fall apart

The more money you put in his pockets

(Two, three, four)

[Outro]

Trust your mechanic to plug your holes

Trust him to make more somewhere else

Trust your mechanic, he'll always come through

And rip you off

Well Paid Scientist Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're a well-paid scientist

You only talk in facts

You know you're always right

'Cause you know how to prove it step by step

A PhD to show you're smart

With textbook formulas

But you're used up

Just like a factory hand

[Chorus]

Something is wrong here

You won't find it on a shelf

You're well-paid, you're well-trained

You're tied to a rack

[Verse 2]

Company cocktails, gotta go

Say the right thing

Don't fidget, jockey for position

Be polite

In the pyramid you hate

Sip that scotch

Get that raise

This ain't no party at all

[Chorus]

Something is wrong here

You won't find it on a shelf

You're well-paid, you're well-trained

You're tied to a rack

[Verse 3]

Cringe and tense up

Grind your teeth

And wipe your sweaty palms

Close your windows driving past

The low-life company bar

They're making fun of you

Ha!

[Bridge 1]

Ah, even you

You've gotta punch the clock

Why don't you punch your boss?

Ah, even you

You just punch the clock

Too scared to punch your boss

[Bridge 2]

When will you crack?

When will you open your eyes

Open your eyes, open your eyes?

[Verse 3]

Pull up to your sterile home, you're drained

Bite the heads off of your kids

Chew them well; they taste like you

Just slam the door

Assigned here 'cause your company owns the land

All your colleagues live there, too

Private guards in golf carts

Keep you safe at home

[Chorus]

Something is wrong here

You won't find it on a shelf

You're well-paid, you're well-trained

You're tied to a rack

[Refrain]

When will you crack?

When will you crack?!

[Outro]

The dark, shattered underbelly

Of the American dream

Avoid it like the plague

It stares you from your bathroom mirror

Drown!

Buzzbomb Lyrics

[Intro]

Vroom, vroom, vroom!

[Verse 1]

Buzzbomb, buzzbomb

Macho-mobile

The road's my slave

That's how I feel

I cruise alone

I cruise real far

I don't love you

I love my car

[Refrain]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

'Cross Nevada at 110

Highway 50

And there's nobody there

Sign says, "Next sign: 30 miles"

[Chorus]

I work all week, each penny saved

Buys more escape from home

I'd rather cruise around all day

Than save up for a move

Plow through rest area San-O-Lets

"Splat!" goes the lonely salesman

Wanking in the men's room

[Verse 3]

Buzzbomb, buzzbomb

Tape up loud

Blue piss clinging to my windshield

Faster, faster in my car

[Chorus]

Buzzbomb is my pride and joy

King of the trailer court

Waiting for the perfect chick

Who'll love me for my car

I tell her why I'm cool

She coos back just what I like

When I pretend she's near

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

Zip through Ely

Where Pat Nixon was born

The cops 'round here sure looking bored

Flashing sirens, state patrol

[Chorus]

They're scratching up my gorgeous paint job

Shooting out my tires

Ain't no way to go to heaven

Buzzbomb cornered at the 7-Eleven

[Outro]

Aw, ooh

Forest Fire Lyrics

[Intro]

No junk food, just earthly goods

I ate weird berries in the woods

Now I'm seeing colors; I'm getting higher

I think I'll start a forest fire

[Verse 1]

There's a forest fire climbing the hill

Burning wealthy California homes

Better run, run, run, run, run

Run from the fire

But some of us stay and watch

And we think of your insurance costs

And we laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

Laugh at your lives

[Chorus]

Windows covered with bars

Security guards

Is that a house or a fortress

Against the rest of the world?

Windows covered with bars

Security guards

Is that a house or a prison

How you gonna get out?

[Verse 2]

Electric bull and your tennis courts

Pink sports cars and your boats

Getting fried, fried, fried, fried, fried

Fried by the fire

Windows covered with bars

Floodlights for the yard

It's a pleasure to watch you

Watch it all melt

[Bridge]

But hey! What about the cocaine

Stockpiled in the basement?

Be a hero and save it

You know you're gonna need it

[Verse 3]

Where's your brand-new, pretty wife?

She might still be inside

Either save her or your cocaine

From the fire

But the gates and doors are locked

'Cause the burglar alarms went off

Ever wonder why we laugh, laugh

At your lives?

[Chorus]

Windows covered with bars

Fences spiked with barbed wire

Never looked so helpless

Engulfed in flames

Cameras watchin' the walls

Don't forget the dogs

Now you're trapped in your prison

How you gonna get out?

[Outro]

Yeah

See the gerbil

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

From the fire

Halloween Lyrics

[Intro]

Yow!

[Verse 1]

So, it's Halloween

And you feel like dancin'

And you feel like shinin'

And you feel like letting loose

But what ya gonna be?

Babe, you better know

And you better plan

Better plan all day

[Chorus]

Better plan all week

Better plan all month

Better plan all year

[Verse 2]

You're dressed up like a clown

Putting on your act

It's the only time all year

You'll ever admit that

[Chorus]

I can see your eyes

I can see your brain

Baby, nothing's changed

I can see your eyes

I can see your brain

Baby, nothing's changed

[Bridge]

Because you're hiding in a mask

You take your fun seriously

No, don't blow this year's chance

Tomorrow, your mold goes back on

After Halloween

[Refrain]

Whee!

[Verse 4]

You go to work today

You'll go to work tomorrow

Shitfaced tonight

You'll brag about it for months:

[Chorus]

"Remember what I did?

Remember what I was

Back on Halloween?"

[Verse 5]

But what's in-between?

Where are your ideas?

You sit around and dream

For next Halloween

[Chorus]

Why not every day?

Are you so afraid?

What will people say?

Why not every day?

Are you so afraid?

What will people say

After Halloween?

[Outro]

Because your role is planned for you

There's nothing you can do

But stop and think it through

But what will the boss say to you?

And what will your girlfriend say to you?

And the people out on the street

They might glare at you

And what do you know?

You're pretty self-conscious, too

So, you run back and stuff yourselves

In rigid business costumes

Only at night to score

Is your leather uniform exhumed

Why don't you take your social regulations

Shove 'em up your ass?

Why don't you take your social regulations

Shove 'em up your ass?

Why don't you take your social regulations

And shove 'em up your ass?

Winnebago Warrior Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Roughin' it in the great outdoors

Guidebooks tell us where to go

Winnebago Warrior

Slow down traffic climbing hills

Thirty gallons to the mile

Honey, quick, the Polaroid

[Chorus]

Winnebago Warrior

Brave as old John Wayne

Winnebago Warrior

A true Yankee pioneer

[Verse 2]

Stop at Stuckey's for a meal

Blab all day on the CB

Winnebago Warrior

Littered campgrounds, folding chairs

Feed Doritos to the bears

Honey, quick, the Polaroid

[Chorus]

Winnebago Warrior

Brave as old John Wayne

Winnebago Warrior

A true Yankee pioneer

[Bridge]

Yee-haw!

[Verse 3]

Kill some fish down by the creek

Hang their picture by the sink

Show your grandson who's the boss

Tie your two Tote Gotes to the front

U-Haul trailer full of souvenirs

That you buy along the way

[Chorus]

Winnebago Warrior

Brave as old John Wayne

Winnebago Warrior

A true Yankee pioneer

[Outro]

Yankee pioneer

Yee-haw!

Riot Lyrics

[Intro]

Rioting, the unbeatable high

Adrenaline shoots your nerves to the sky

Everyone knows this town is gonna blow

And it's all gonna blow right now

[Verse 1]

Now you can smash

All the windows that you want

All you really need are

Some friends and a rock

Throwing a brick never felt

So damn good

Smash more glass

Scream with a laugh

And wallow with the crowds

Watch them kicking people's ass

[Verse 2]

But you get to the place

Where the real slave drivers live

It's walled off by the riot squad

Aiming guns right at your head

So, you turn right around

And play right into their hands

And set your own neighborhood

Burning to the ground instead

[Chorus]

Riot, the unbeatable high

Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky

Riot, playing right into their hands

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

[Verse 3]

Get your kicks in quick

They're callin' the National Guard

Now could be your only chance

To torch a police car

Climb the roof, kick the siren in

And jump and yelp for joy

Quickly, dive back in the crowd

Slip away now, don't get caught

[Verse 4]

Let's loot the spiffy Hi-Fi store

Grab as much as you can hold

Pray your full arms don't fall off

Here comes the owner with a gun

[Chorus]

Riot, the unbeatable high

Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky

Riot, playing right into their hands

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

[Bridge]

The barricades spring up from nowhere

Cops in helmets line the lines

Shotguns prod into your bellies

The trigger fingers want an excuse now

The raging mob has lost its nerve

There's more of us, but who goes first?

No one dares to cross the line

The cops know that they've won

It's all over, but not quite

The pigs have just begun to fight

They club your heads, kick your teeth

Police can riot all that they please

[Chorus]

Riot, the unbeatable high

Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky

Riot, playing right into their hands

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Riot, the unbeatable high

Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky

Riot, playing right into their hands

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

[Outro]

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless

Tonight, it's a blast

Bleed for Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You've been hanging 'round

With an enemy of the state

Come with me to the building

That no one stops to watch

[Chorus]

C'mon, bleed

Bleed for me

[Verse 2]

We'll strap you to a pipe

Electrodes on your balls

C'mon, scream; c'mon, writhe

Facedown in a pool of piss

[Chorus]

C'mon, bleed

Bleed for me

[Bridge]

In the name of world peace

In the name of world profits

America pumps up our secret police

America wants fuel

To get it, it needs puppets

So, what's ten million dead

If it's keeping out the Russians?

We're well-trained by the CIA

With Yankee tax money in Ft. Bragg

The Peace Corps builds us labor camps

When they think they're building schools

Ha!

[Bridge 2]

When cowboy Ronnie comes to town

Forks out his tongue at human rights

Sit down, enjoy our ethnic meal

Dine on some charbroiled nuns, try a medal on

Smile at the mirror as the cameras click

And make big business happy

[Verse 3]

Anytime

Anywhere

Maybe you'll

Just disappear!

[Chorus]

C'mon, bleed

Bleed!

I Am the Owl Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am your plumber

No, I never went away

I still bug your bedrooms

And pick up everything you say

It can be a boring job

To monitor all day your excess talk

[Verse 2]

I hear when you're drinking

And cheating on your lonely wife

I play tape recordings

Of you to my friends at night

We've got our girl in bed with you

You're on Candid Camera

We just un-elected you

[Chorus]

I am the owl

I seek out the foul

Wipe 'em away, keep America free

For clean-living folks like me

[Verse 3]

If you demonstrate

Against somebody we like

I'll slip on my wig

And see if I can start a riot

Transform you to an angry mob

All your leaders go to jail for my job

[Verse 4]

But we ain't the Russians

Political trials are taboo

We've got our secret

Ways of getting rid of you

Fill you full of LSD

Turn you loose on a freeway

[Chorus]

I am the owl

I seek out the foul

Wipe 'em away, keep America free

For clean-living folks like me

[Bridge]

We'll send you spinning

Send you spinning all over the freeway

Spinning on the crowded freeway

Spinning on the freeway

Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, look out!

[Verse 5]

The press, they never even cared

Why a youth leader walked into a speeding car

In ten years or so, we'll leak the truth

But by then, it's only so much paper

[Verse 6]

And you know, Watergate hurt

But nothing really ever changed

A teeny bit quieter

But we still play our little games

[Outro]

We still play our little games

We still play our little

We still play a lot of games

I am the owl

I seek out the foul

Wipe 'em away, keep America free

Wipe 'em away, keep America free for me

Dead End Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once, I had a close friend

I knew him for quite a while

He seemed all right to me

We had this deal together

Took all my money and time

And then he went away

Taking all that was mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, well, things crumble to an end

Hell, we all die in the end

Die in the end

[Verse 2]

Once, it was fun to worry

About who was in control

Could look into the future

But now things don't seem right

Passion is filling the air

Profits are better than life

And things are harder to bear

Things are harder to bear

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, well, things crumble to an end

Hell, we all die in the end

Die in the end

[Chorus]

It's a dead end

Dead end

Dead, dead, dead, dead end

[Verse 3]

Once, I had a lover

I knew her for quite a while

She seemed all right to me

But then she was gone

She took my loving and time

Taking all that was mine

And leaving me far behind

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, well, things crumble to an end

Hell, we all die in the end

Die in the end

[Chorus]

It's a dead end

Dead end

Moon Over Marin Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The crowded future stings my eyes

I still find time to exercise

In a uniform with two white stripes

Unlock my section of the sand

It's fenced off to the water's edge

I clamp a gas mask on my head

[Chorus]

On my beach at night

Bathe in my moonlight

[Verse 2]

Another tanker's hit the rocks

Abandoned to spill out its guts

The sand is laced with sticky glops

Oh, shimmering moonlight sheen upon

The waves and water clogged with oil

White gases steam up from the soil

[Chorus]

On my beach at night

Bathe in my moonlight

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I squish dead fish between my toes

Try not to step on any bones

I turn around and I go home

I slip back through my basement door

Switch off all that I own below

Dive in my scalding, wooden tub

[Chorus]

My own beach at night

Bathe in my moonlight

[Refrain]

'Ight, 'ight

There will always be a moon

Over Marin

[Outro: Spoken]

"There, wasn't that a nice visit?

Don't forget, a psychiatrist is on duty

Twenty-four hours a day in the blue room

Just up from the parking garage

Drink plenty of water when you take these

Now you can relax and return to your job!"
