Title
- Efficiency and progress is ours once more
- Now that we have the Neutron bomb
- It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
- Away with excess enemy
- But no less value to property
- No sense in war but perfect sense at home:
- The sun beams down on a brand new day
- No more welfare tax to pay
- Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
- Jobless millions whisked away
- At last we have more room to play
- All systems go to kill the poor tonight
- Gonna
- Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight
- Behold the sparkle of champagne
- The crime rate's gone
- Feel free again
- O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
- Jane Fonda on the screen today
- Convinced the liberals it's okay
- So let's get dressed and dance away the night
- While they:
- Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight
- I don't need your way of life
- I can't stand your attitudes
- I can do without your strife
- I don't need this fucking world
- I don't need this fucking world
- This world brings me down
- Gag with every breath
- This world brings me down
- I'm looking forward to death
- It seems so unreal to me
- So much hate and so mouch pity
- I can't take another day
- It's such a bore
- It gets me really sore
- I don't need this fucking world
- I don't need this fucking world
- This world brings me down
- Gag with every breath
- This world brings me down
- I'm looking forward to death
- Looking forward to death
- Are you believing the morning papers?
- War is coming back in style
- There's generals here, advisors there
- And Russians nibbling everywhere
- The chessboard's filling up with red
- We make more profits when we blow off their heads
- Economy is looking bad
- Let's start another war when ya get drafted
- Fan the fires of racist hatred
- We want total war when ya get drafted
- Drooling fingers
- Panic buttons
- Playing with missiles like they're toys
- There's easy money, easy jobs
- Especially when you build the bombs
- That blow big cities off the map
- Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up
- Yeah, what Big Business wants Big Business gets
- It wants a war when ya get drafted
- Trilateral Commission goonies laugh
- and scheme for more when ya get drafted
- Call the Army!
- Call the Navy!
- Stocked with kids from slums when ya get drafted
- If you can't afford a slick attorney
- We might make you a spy
- Forget your demonstrations
- Kids today sit on their ass when ya get drafted
- Just a six-pack
- And you're happy
- We're prepared
- For when ya get drafted
- The Landlord's here to visit
- They're blasting disco down below
- Sez, "I'm doubling up the rent
- Cos the building's condemned
- You're gonna help me buy City Hall"
- But we can, you know we can
- But we can, you know we can
- Let's lynch the landlord man
- I tell them 'turn on the water'
- I tell 'em 'turn on the heat'
- Tells me 'All you ever do is complain'
- Then they search the place when I'm not here
- But we can, you know we can
- Let's lynch the landlord
- Let's lynch the landlord
- Let's lynch the landlord man
- There's rats chewin' up the kitchen
- Roaches up to my knees
- Turn the oven on, it smells like Dachau, yeah
- Til the rain pours thru the ceiling
- But we can, you know we can
- Let's lynch the landlord man
- I don't want to think
- Don't make me care
- I wanna melt in with the group
- I need the balls
- To leap out of my shell
- And let go with my friends
- Can't come up with anything I want to do
- I need a project I can finish
- My brain needs some stimulation
- DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME
- I'm so fucking tired
- I gotta stay awake
- I'm runnin' late
- I gotta make it thru the day
- And make my time go by
- TV and the stereo and girls are lots of fun
- I want the max
- I relate better loaded
- 'Gotta see that movie stoned'
- DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME
- Drug me with natural vitamin C
- Drug me with pharmaceutical speed
- Drug me with your sleeping pills
- Drug me with your crossword puzzles
- Drug me with your magazines
- Drug me with your fuck machines
- With a fountain of fads
- More rock and roll ads
- DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME ME ME
- Finally off of work
- Unwind and watch the ball game at the bar
- Another potato chip weekend
- Is here at last
- Go away Go away Go away Go away Go away
- Leave me alone
- So I can't see myself
- DRUG ME DRUG ME DRUG ME
- Your mommy told you this
- And your daddy told you that
- Always think like this
- And never do that
- You learned so many feelings
- But what is there to that
- Which are really yours
- Or are you just a copycat
- Your school told you this
- And your church told you that
- Memorize this
- And don't you dare look at that
- ...
- Just a tape recorder
- Mimicking of the bores
- You're so boring boring boring
- Always tape machine recording
- You're so boring boring boring
- I've heard all this before
- Planless and mindless
- Scraps from anywhere
- Bunch of used parts
- From garbage pails everywhere
- Frankenstein became a monster
- Just like you
- Your scars only show
- When someone talks to you
- You're so boring boring boring
- Always tape machine recording
- You're so boring boring boring
- I've heard all this before
- I've heard all this before
- I've heard all this before
- Your emotions make you a monster
- Your emotions make you a monster
- Your emotions make you a monster
- Your emotions make you a monster
- Down at the arsenal they keep the nerve gasses
- Guarded day and night by caged white rabbits
- Been sitting there for years
- I'm gonna have at it
- I cut through the fence, run right in and grab it
- Go crazy crazy crazy crazy:
- Now I got my own mustard gas in my pocket
- Climb on a tree on a branch and drop it
- On a country club full of Saturday golfers
- So I can watch them die chokin' shakin'in convulsions
- Go crazy crazy crazy crazy
- Crazy crazy crazy crazy:
- Chemical Warfare Chemical Warfare
- Chemical Warfare Warfare Warfare
- Panic in the air
- See the headless chickens runnin'
- Golf carts head on crashin'
- Crackin' heads wide open
- Scratch the grass, mister, you can't breath
- And roll and writhe in a sandtrap
- Starting to heave
- Claw those clubs, lemme see you seethe
- Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy
- Chemical Warfare Chemical Warfare
- Chemical Warfare Warfare Warfare
- Yellow air
- Yellow clouds
- Blowin' down down down the fairway
- Sensitive to the touch
- Mowin' down the putting green
- Heading straight for the big clubhouse
- Where the stuffed country club
- Effervescent ladies, so carefree
- Relax, pose by the pool
- Limber limp with a dry martini
- Until
- I am Governor Jerry Brown
- My aura smiles
- And never frowns
- Soon I will be president...
- Carter Power will soon go away
- I will be Fuhrer one day
- I will command all of you
- Your kids will meditate in school
- Your kids will meditate in school!
- [Chorus:]
- California Uber Alles
- California Uber Alles
- Uber Alles California
- Uber Alles California
- Zen fascists will control you
- 100% natural
- You will jog for the master race
- And always wear the happy face
- Close your eyes, can't happen here
- Big Bro' on white horse is near
- The hippies won't come back you say
- Mellow out or you will pay
- Mellow out or you will pay!
- [Chorus]
- Now it is 1984
- Knock-knock at your front door
- It's the suede/denim secret police
- They have come for your uncool niece
- Come quietly to the camp
- You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
- Don't you worry, it's only a shower
- For your clothes here's a pretty flower.
- DIE on organic poison gas
- Serpent's egg's already hatched
- You will croak, you little clown
- When you mess with President Brown
- When you mess with President Brown
- [Chorus]
- [Thanks to metalkat86@hotmail.com for correcting these lyrics]
- I kill children
- I love to see them die
- I kill children
- And make their mamas cry
- Crush 'em under my car
- I wanna hear them scream
- Feed 'em poison candy
- To spoil their Halloween
- So your're in the kids' ward
- You're in there cos you're ill
- How about some Pavulon
- So I can see you chill
- Time to hit the scool bus
- I think I'll shoot the tires
- Offer them a helping hand
- Of open telephone wires
- Ever wanted to die?
- Of course you have
- But I won't till I get my revenge
- I don't wanna see people any more
- Things I never ever saw before
- Make me see them for the shit they are
- Take as many as I can away with me
- Anyone can be king for a day
- So I kill children
- I love to see them die
- I kill children
- And make their mamas cry
- I bang their heads in doors
- I kill children
- Can hardly wait for yours
- We ain't going to the party
- We ain't going to the game
- We ain't going to the disco
- Ain't gonna cruise down main
- We're stealing people's mail
- stealing people's mail
- stealing people's mail
- On a friday night
- Drivin' in the mountains
- Winding 'round and 'round
- Rummage thru your mailboxes
- Take your mail back to town
- And we got license plates, wedding gifts, tax returns
- Checks to politicians from real estate firms
- Money, bills and cancelled checks
- Pretty funny pictures of your kids
- We're gonna steal your mail
- On a Friday night
- We're gonna steal your mail
- By the pale moonlight
- We got grocery sackful after grocery sackful
- After grocery sackful after grocery sackful
- After grocery sackful after grocery sackful
- Of the private lives of you
- Ha Ha
- People say that we're crazy
- We're sick and all alone
- But when we read your letters
- We're rolling on the floor
- We got more license plates, wedding gifts, tax returns
- Checks to politicians from real estate firms
- Money, bills and cancelled checks
- We cut relationships with your friends
- We're gonna steal your mail
- On a Friday night
- We're gonna steal your mail
- By the pale moonlight
- We better not get caught
- We'll be dumped in institutions
- Where we'll be drugged and shocked
- 'Til we come out born-again Christians
- Sunny Sunday at the amusement park
- See the fat kids spill their pop
- Oh babe-lots of flags and balloons
- But someone sabotaged the rollercoaster last night
- Ran a turn and then it smashed right down
- Thru the crowded haunted house below
- Oh No
- Human hamburger No
- And it's Crushed little Kids
- Crushed little Kids
- Crushed little Kids
- Adorn the boardwalk
- See the tourists drop their jaws and cones
- See the owners smell a big lawsuit
- Oh Police! (call your lawyer first)
- Make the witnesses go home
- And they'll turn on the TV
- And see the crushed little kids
- Adorn the boardwalk
- In a desperate mind
- Little gardens grow
- They grow very wide
- They grow very tall
- Why am I alive
- Urban Wonderland
- By the fence I stand
- In and out of hand
- There are many paths
- Dripping dark so dense
- Do not enter here
- Enter over there
- People closing in
- Barking at my mind
- Shoving me to wine
- I want all alone
- I want my own home
- I want my own girl
- Help me hate the world
- Own and love my life
- So you been to school for a year or two
- And you know you've seen it all
- In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
- Back east your type don't crawl
- Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
- On your five grand stereo
- Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
- And the slums got so much soul
- It's time to taste what you most fear
- Right Guard will not help you here
- Brace yourself, my dear
- It's a holiday in Cambodia
- It's tough kid, but it's life
- It's a holiday in Cambodia
- Don't forget to pack a wife
- Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
- You want everyone to act like you
- Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
- But your boss gets richer on you
- Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
- For a bowl of rice a day
- Slave for soldiers til you starve
- Then your head skewered on a stake
- Now you can go where people are one
- Now you can go where they get things done
- What you need my son:
- Is a holiday in Cambodia
- Where people dress in black
- A holiday in Cambodia
- Where you'll kiss ass or crack
- Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot[etc.]
- And it's a holiday in Cambodia
- Where you'll do what you're told
- A holiday in Cambodia
- Where the slums got so much soul
- I Fought the Law (and I Won)
- Drinkin' beer in the hot sun
- I fought the law and I won
- I needed sex and I got mine
- I fought the law and I won
- The law don't mean shit if you've got the right friends
- That's how the country's run
- Twinkies are the best friend I've ever had
- I fought the law
- And I won
- I blew George & Harvey's brains out with my six-gun
- I fought the law and I won
- Gonna write my book and make a million
- I fought the law and I won
- I'm the new folk hero of the Ku Klux Klan
- My cop friends think that's fine
- You can get away with murder if you've got a badge
- I fought the law
- And I won
- I am the law
- So I won
- [Originally by Elvis Presley]
- Twilight City gonna set my soul
- It's gonna set my soul on fire
- Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
- So get those stakes up high
- There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there
- They're all waiting, they'll never make air
- And I'm just the devil with a lung to spare, so
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- How I wish that there were more
- Than the 24 hours in the day
- Even if I ran out of speed, boy
- I wouldn't sleep a minute of the way
- Oh that blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
- I'll poach your money lost on every deal
- All you need is sonar and nerves of steel, so
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- Where the neon signs flash your name
- The one-arm bandits cash in
- All soap's down the drain
- Viva Las Vegas
- Turning day into nighttime
- Turning night into daytime
- If you see it once
- You'll never be the same again
- Gotta keep on running
- Gonna have me some money
- If it costs me my very last dime
- If I wind up broke
- Then I'll always remember that
- I had a swingin' time
- Oh, I'm gonna give it everything I've got
- Lady Luck's with me, the dice stay hot
- Got coke up my nose to dry away the snot, so
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva Las Vegas
- Viva, viva Las Vegas
