wild in the streets

wild in the streets

wild,wild,wild,wild,
wild in the streets
wild in the streets
wild in the streets
wild in the streets

in the heat of the summer
better call out a plumber
turn on the steam pipe
cool me off
with your big crime fighters
and your newspaper writers
still need a drugstore
to cure my buzz

wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets

'64 valiant, hand full of valiums
couple of beers really do me right
you better believe us, better trust us,
teenage jive, walking wreck

wild, wild, wild, running wild
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets

got a gang called the wolves
you have to choose
play with the boys
you're bound to lose
a bottle in one hand
a can in the other
don't fool around 'cause they're real
mean mothers

wild, wild, wild, wild,
wild running, running
wild
Mrs. America, how's your favorite son?
do you care just what he's done? no!
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,
wild in the streets, running, running,

wild in the streets, we're running, running
wild in the streets, we're running, running
wild in the streets, we're running, running
wild in the streets


leave me alone

get off my back
out of my life
everything is building up
take the lid of the pot
before it blows up

chewed my fingernails to the bone
get off my back
just leave me alone

wake up tomorrow,do it again
yes sir, yes ma'am
no sir, no ma'am
get so fed up
with your fucking scams

chewed my fingernails to the bone
get off my back
just leave me alone
pressure, pressure, pressure
ahhhhhhhhhhh...

heavy weight on my mind
not enough beer
to erase the thought
work, money, bills, reality,
no spare time no sanity


stars and stripes

what they did, past or present
got us in this situation
predicament
no where to run
everybody's building bombs

no more housewives;
"days of our lives",
television, disneyland,
basketball or stars and stripes

their chairman's on his death bed
our president's popularity is down
an epileptic called a colonel
presses a button
and its all knocked down

no more housewives;
"days of our lives",
television, disneyland,
basketball or stars and stripes

ha ha ha,
you're all gonna die,
and you voted for that guy

science, modern technology,
digs your grave
care of moscow and DC,
votes you never gave

no more housewives;
"days of our lives",
television, disneyland,
basketball or stars and stripes

or stars and stripes,
or stars and stripes,
or stars and stripes

my country 'tis of thee
sweet land of liberty...


86'd (good as gone)

I read the mail today
they're throwing me out of town
there isn't any way
i get to stick around

they took my stereo
when i turned the volume up
and when i gave them drugs
they couldn't get enough

turn the tourniquet
'till i'm sick of it
see the other side
always overdrawn
feeling like a pawn
somebody lied
somebody lied

i got the news today
they'll tear my appartment down
there isn't any way
i get to stick around

i never thought i'd see
new condos going up
and now i've gotta scream
that i've had enough

turn the tourniquet
i'm so sick if it
where's the other side
no more bills to pay
neighbors gone away
semebody died
somebody lied

turn the tourniquet
i'm so sick of it
where's the other side
no more bills to pay
somebody lied.


meet the press

caught you in the camera
that's my tool
saw you take the money
you've been fooled

not a merchant-
not a disguise-
jury will believe it-
when he testifies-
meet the press
all the papers want to know
why you ever stooped so low
as to take the phony bribe
from the feds

thank the rice dealer
dinners at le 'parcq
you're still good and greedy
but the bills were marked

forget about the entrapment
no defence
gonna leave office
when we commence

save the tears
how you've served and
been sincere
how you thought it was
a mirror
the high cost of campaigning
each two years

meet the press
sunday morning
"face the nation",
you've been HAD!


trapped

trapped, i'm trapped
trapped, i'm trapped
trapped, i'm trapped
trapped, i'm trapped

what did i do to deserve this?
i've painted myself into a corner
what did i do to deserve this?
painted myself into a corner
no windows, doors or a ladder

trapped,i'm trapped
trapped,i'm trapped

what did i do to deserve this?
running down a black alley way
what did i do to deserve this?
trash cans, chain link fence line the way

i'm trapped
i'm trapped
trapped, i'm trapped
trapped, i'm trapped

what did i do to deserve this?
dug a hole and there's nowhere to go
what did i do to deserve this?
mental rut,i'm going nuts!

trapped,i'm trapped
trapped,i'm trapped


murder the disturbed

really queer me sitting here
you seem so sincere
your daughter flips the burgers
as you reach for a second beer

mom says grace, she's learned her place
the cruelest years are on her face
two car garage, a mastercharge
her tits aren't firm, at least they're large

murder the disturbed
and all those purturbed
kill the democrats
support tuition tax

you served a meal, you spoke with zeal
you think you've still sex appeal
your daughter serves dessert
as you enact your biggest deal

success has shown a second home
the kids are cute, how they've grown
one is dead, one's on reds
she goes to school, she's too well fed

murder the disturbed
and all those purturbed
kill the democrats
reinstate the draft
murder the disturbed


letter bomb

tired of being bossed around
getting the run around

sweep your floors
empty your trash
you're the one who makes the cash

tired of being a pissant
9 to 5
open my letter
you won't be alive

here's a present just for you
when you'll open it
you'll be through

sit behind your desk
act like a king
treat me like a human being

give me the worst jobs
i'm getting mad
when you're dead
i'll be glad

here's a present just for you
when you'll open it
you'll be through

plastic explosive
on your letter
you'd be better off dead
hope the building crumbles,
on your head
DIE! DIE!
question authority

question authority
have they the right to say how it should be?
should one man be able to write it all down?
when half the time he can't tell right from wrong

question authority
another mans law is not right for me
another lie to bleed my sympathy
another time there will be no pity

is this what you wan to see?
is this the way you want things to be?

question authority
i'll pay the price the future belongs to me
this is the time
this is the hour
the worlds our dowery
the glory and the power
is this what you want to see?
is this the way you want things to be?
things to be,things to be
question authority...


defamation innuendo

4 years college
you've got knowledge
a bachelor degree
you read and write
you think it's right
but don't come down on me

you're an educated jerk
write about us
i could squeeze you
like a pimple
but i don't need the pus

defamation innuendo
defamation innuendo
communication to third person
it's defamation
my reputation
defamation, innuendo..

well,i got the record
i haven't heard it yet
i went to the concert
i wanted to get in on the guest list
but they wouldn't let me in
defamation innuendo...

i didn't get a chance to see the band
hell, i never heard'em
and now i've gotta write about'em
god, the story is due,
the story's due tomorrow
what should i write?
well, they're no good!


moral majority

first there was biology
then pornography
so says the moral majority

telling you and me
what we can watch and read
i don't need
some dumb schmuck telling me

nice communities
middle class families
too much cleanliness
too much stupidity

i don't need
someone telling me
how to listen and how to read

whatever happened
to the first amendment
the way these people talk
they've never even heard it


forced labor

in a political state
carries no weight
no consideration
your future's at stake

yanked out of school
for a factory before you can read
once the world's shoven down your throat
you'll find that it's hard to breath

they'll march you to work
in sickness or in health
you're never paid what you're worth
no family wealth

soon your wages support
the state
support the party
then you'll scream
forget the C.W.P.
tell 'em for me,
i'd kill to be free
tell 'em for me
i'd kill to be free

no religion to comfort your mind
the communist manifesto will be read all the time

when consumer products cease to exists,
that's when the eastern blocks defects

tell 'em for me
i'll kill to be free
tell 'em for me
i'd kick ass to be free
resist 'em communism
resist 'em fascism
resist 'em nazism
resist 'em now


political stu

can you grasp the situation?
or is it getting out of hand
riots, killing in the streets
over the color of a man

everybody looks the same
with their head stuck in the hand
everyone looks the same
'til you see where they stand

reactionary politics
are the order of the day
it makes me really sick to
see the poor treated this way

caviar and limousines
high finance and jelly beans
decorate the east wing california modern,
it'd great to be the king

did you see the demonstrations in another land
over weapons annihillation care of uncle sam

the stock market does not reveal
the arms that they have sold
half the world can't get a meal
the war is getting cold

a bushel or a barrel
neither can be saved
you feed your beef with wasted wheat
to dominate your crave

can you hear the foreign voices
can you understand?
every great civilisation crumbles in the sand
organizations and their plans
i'm anti swa, anti klan
P.L.O., J.D.L., they can all burn in hell
