Track Lyrics

Yuppie Cadillac Lyrics

[Guitar Solo]
Cruisin' down the freeway
Slurpin' latte in my blue BM'er Roadster
I won for being Sales Rep of the Week
At my now failed dot-com
Then it happens again
S.U.V. damn near killed me
They made the roads so unsafe
I bought me one the very next day
Why do I eat up so much gas?
Why do I cut you off to pass?
What do I drive like such an ass?
Because I can!
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
[Guitar Solo]
But I need my armored luxury tank
To drive to work and drive home
Keep my children safe
As I run down yours
While I talk on my cell phone
Better you than me
Got important places to be
School, soccer, psychiatrist
And then the wine boutique
Why do I flaunt my upper class?
Hogging two parking spaces
Why do I act like such an ass?
No boundaries, man
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
Oh yeah!
Blow them up! Key their hoods!
Run them out of the neighborhood
Melt them down for Blue Chip scrap
War for oil? Draft them!
Got a big Hummer with monster tires
It's the latest craze
When S.U.V.'s are not enough
To break a traffic jam
Up and over I go
My terminator crushing cars below
I'm late for a meeting
More important than yours
My Krispy Kremes are getting cold #!!!**#!!
[Guitar Solo]
What is it 'bout the Navigator
Escalade, Suburban, Explorer, Yukons
That brings out the road-rage macho dick
In everybody who drives one?
Icy curves, slow down
'Nother pathfinder found its way to Hell
What a great way to thin the herd
But why should we have to share the road with
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac
Yuppie Yuppie Yuppie Cadillac

Islamic Bomb Lyrics

[Guitar Solo]
For a real Axis of Evil
Keep an eye on free enterprise
Like our top secret project
At a warehouse right in town
No one here knows all the details
We just ship components out
Selling to the highest bidder
If we don't, someone else will
To third parties in Third countries
You can't stop what you can't find
This is what we wanted all along
Now the arms race can go on and on
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Piss ant little countries
They were getting in our way, uh-huh
Trying to claim their soil's riches
Tellin' us we have to pay, uh-huh, uh-huh
So we tricked their wacky rulers
To go wipe each other out
Russian Roulette regime change
In a sea of mushroom clouds
Dying peasants slave at gunpoint
All their oil is finally ours
Life will never be
Quite like it was
Hide in our Green Zones
Til Jesus comes
But we fixed you all
With Thee Islamic Bomb
Islamic Bomb

The Lighter Side of Global Terrorism Lyrics

[Guitar Solo]
See your shiny jewels
On your neck and wrists
They could be weapons
We must play safe
So fork 'em over
Or you're under arrest
Maybe you should have packed them
In your suitcase
Meanwhile, down below
What have we here?
Let's open this one up
Pills! Cash! Electronics to fence
Now let's see you prove they were there
In the first place
Who is that behind
The one way mirror blind?
Just little ol' me
And my non-dairy creme
Gotta wipe it up and go select
Someone new
Wooo!

Enchanted Thoughtfist Lyrics

[Guitar Solo]
Felt I had to confess
In Ginsberg's apartment
My literary background's mostly songs and cartoons
He said, "Oh, that's just fine"
I sort of felt relieved
But when I hurl my word bombs
How much should be believed?
Say it again
We all believe
What we want to believe
Don't just question authority - Don't forget to question me
Woah yeah
That's right
Take flight
With In-sight
The pressure of being taken seriously
Breathing down on me, to keep up with my extremes
And keep on plantin' seeds
The joy of sabotage
So far, so good
Now where do we go from here? It always feels weird
When people come up to me, and say I've changed their lives
I say, Now it's your turn
To start a fire FIRE FIRE
Start your own fire
Bring the world fire
