I've got the answers To all of your questions If you've got the money To pay me in gold I will be living In old Monte Carlo And you will be reading The secrets of soul Daggers and contacts And bright shiny limos I've got a watch That turns into a lifeboat Glimmering nightgowns And poisonous cobras Silencer under the heel of my shoe The elegance of China They sent her to lie here on her back But as she deeply moves me She'd rather shoot me in my tracks And while a Middle Asian lady She really came as no surprise But I still did destroy her And I will smash Halo of flies I crossed the ocean Where no one could see And I put a time-bomb In your submarine Goodbye to old friends The secret's in hand With full ream of papers And fantastic plans You never will understand

Can I touch you here? May I search your bags? You have randomly been selected Got a funny name And you look the part Plus, I like the way You bulge in your clothes Yehhhh I love me job Rock bottom pay never felt so hot Big man, uniform and badge Pedophile Santas ain't got nothin' on me I love to feel sexy things Other people's sexy things I love to peek at people's things Other people's private things When I was young and someone's guest I'd find a way to sneak upstairs Peek in the closet, paw through the drawers And feel a funny tingle up from below Oh, how I love to find New playthings for my mind I file these thoughts away Until I go on break When I can finally touch myself See your shiny jewels On your neck and wrists They could be weapons We must play safe So fork 'em over Of you're under arrest Maybe you should have checked them in your suitcase Meanwhile, down below What have we here? Let's open this one up Pills! Cash! Electronics to fence 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 cream Gotta wipe it up and go select someone new Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When I was a kid my daddy got mad And slammed me against the wall Sometimes I got shook Sometimes I got hit For losin' my temper at all Didn't dare say, Look at you, man Blowin' your stack like that I hadn't been taught the word hypocrite yet But I already knew what it meant This is a lesson in what not to become Lessons in what not to be come Sometimes that means me Can't please everyone Tryin' to live by a code I can stick to I'm a fuck up just like you But it's better than not trying at all. Early on I knew To learn from the mistakes Of people I most admire Crazy-ass times Wish I was that wild But the drugs snuffed out the fire All that talent fried and blackened Senile at 25 I'll never be as dope as you But at least I'm still alive Another lesson in what not to become Lessons in what not to become For some mouths that's me Can't please everyone Tryin' to live by a code I can stick to Sometimes it's as easy as Not lettin' things happen to you Yeh, your mom and I Had such a great time when we were your age Makin' love, gettin' high Wild in the streets almost every day But now that you're that age Just Say No But take your Ritalin If you still turn out wrong It's all your music's fault Breaks my heart to see When someone born to lead Gets so paranoid they're crazy Agree with all I say Or you're the enemy & there ain't no in between Drown like Captain Ahab Trying to slay that Great White Whale So tied up in their own rules People jump ship and they fail This is a lesson in what not to become Another lesson in what not to become Another Lesson Lessons in what not to become For some mouths that's me Can't please everyone Tryin' to live By a code I can stick to I ain't 100% pure To the point of being miserable

Punk's been dumbed down To just another form of TV Marketed to shoppers Spoonfed carton rebellion like sheep Flock to worship any old school band Who cares if they still care or if they're bad Something new in town Who wants to know? And look at all the whores Reunions for wrong reasons Playing only songs from the good old days About how bad the good old days were So why not us? We don't even like this stuff no more But look at all that retro-racket cash Those dumb punk kids will buy anything We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs So we can sell them into commercials Steal the name and hit the road Trashing all our band stood for We won't rehearse, sound worse Dig up some old child star Who never learns the words Hey, we're back Show us how much you care The merch booth's right over there Buy! BUY!!! And if our scam works What a bandwagon it will be Malcolm in the Middle in the Misfits or Mary Kate and Ashley Gary Coleman in Black Flag Courtney in Nirvana at last And Emmanuel Lewis Back in action singing for the Germs When will it end? When people see this for what it is Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief So how bout Kenny Boy Lay In Dead Kennedys Kuz those dumb punk kids Will buy anything

I saw it in Newsweek Therefor it must be real Reagan and Khaddafi chatting like they're old friends Look how the sgadows don't match Or shots of demonstrations The signs are in English Even in countries that don't use our alphabet at all Philly 2000 Republican Convention i saw a booth where you could get your picture taken Arm in arm with George Dubya Bush And it looked totally real Know how that makes me feel?!?! Aggghh! Take any image of anything in photoshop nothing is real Nothing is fake So i ask you How many images and photos we believe are real Aren't cars in the ads now fly And part the seas and swim Two minutes of your mouth on tape Is all it takes To show you saying things you never said In the headlines, in bed With someone you have never met 12XU? Easy!

We are the locusts And it's time for the plague The Chick tracts and gun nuts Warned you was here Profiled as bad seeds since before we could read Monkey wrenching World Orders Is how we party Red alert, Orange alert Every flavor of Fruit Loops alert Your precious way of life is under attack From inside We won't buy And we'll try To rot your house of cards From the inside out Sacred Corporate logos are the new swastikas To the proud to be patriotically incorrect hordes Deep fried society has gone to the wolves While we eat away From inside the bones Gnaw Gnaw Nibble Nibble Chew Devour Scrape Deflower They know who we are, so why not just get worse? We won't buy And we'll try To torch all you hold dear From the inside out We've come for your children We've come for your friends To save them from becoming respectable citizens A prank a day keeps the dog leash away Join the new Boston Tea Party You can't have us You can't have us You can't have our money You can't have our time You can't have our souls You can't have our lives Termites loose in the house of cards Today the Mall Tomorrow the World All hail the Magic Plague

I am a product of the television age Zoom in on what's important Get the point right away A modern lack of patience is it a virtue? Hardly ever read books devours easily few I say it again We all believe what we want to believe Don't just question authority Question everything 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? I say it again We all believe what we want to believe Don't just question authority Don't forget to question me! Oh yeah, that's right it takes nights with insight The pressure of being taken seriously breathing down on me to keep up with my extremes and keep on planting seeds joyous 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 changed their lives I say 'Now it's your turn to start a fire!' Fire! Start your own fire Bring the world fire

When I die you will find My body clean and shaved Do not touch my genitals Without gloves on your hands Let no one come near me If they are female Watch on my left hand Perfume made just for men Purify my soul from unclean things Pray all night Sharpen knives to slaughter swift and clean Prophet says the animal should not feel any pain Oh God forgive me for all my sins The time of fun and waste has gone Judgment has arrived Wedding in paradise The black-eyed virgins call Come hither, friend of god God is great God is love We must kill infidels I don't care if I do What's right in the sight of men Important thing is for me To do right in God's sight Annoint me with cooking oil I'm Daniel in the Den Baby killers and calico cats You shall feel my wrath Yeh yeh-eh Yeh-eh God is Great Yeh yeh-eh Yeh-eh God is Love No No-o God but God We must kill in-fi-dels. I am ready to become a martyr Give the most precious thing I have Fight with my heart to the last drop Of blood... Blood Why do we hate you so To blow ourselves up to blow up you Every time you bomb our lands It might be time for you to ask What will their kids be like? What will their kids be like? Killin' time, blending in A smile and a paper hat Feel jihad each time I ask Would you like fries with that? Our Bruce Wayne, complete with cave Dispatched crime-fighting bats Think like me for a minute or three You'll come up with a way To slip right though your gates You'll never be secure You'll never be secure There is no God But God
