TAKE THIS JOB
AND SHOVE IT
Chorus: Take this job and shove it / I ain't
working here no more / I will not get all the
pieces / I've been working for / Paper cups,
minimum wage / Just walk on out the door / Take
this job and shove it / I ain't working here
no more / (Chorus) / They'll have you in this
factory / From now on for fifty years / All
this time I see my woman / Drowning in her tears
/ I see a lot of people who / Got to have a
piece of me / I'd give the shirt right off my
back / If I had the nerve to say / (Chorus)
/ Let's all go use our sick leave up / And then
we'll shoot some pool / Got brand new skinhead
hair cuts / You think he's a fool / One of these
days I'll blow my top / Or somebody's gonna
pay / I'd hate to see the process / As you enter
the factory and say / Take this job and shove
it / I ain't working here no more / I won't
let that shit bother me / That I've been working
for / Paper cups, minimum wage / Just walk on
out the door / Take this job and shove it /
I ain't working here no more / Take this job
and shove it / I ain't working here, ain't working
here, ain't working here no more

HOP WITH THE JET
SET
I say, come on! / To pleasures unknown / Where
we fly to when we are all bored / C’mon
for the ride / And hop with the jet set tonight
/ We’ll sun ourselves red down in Montego
Bay / Hotel-hired guards keep the natives away
/ We wanna save the whales / We’ll go
watch them feed, / Buzz around them in boats
/ ‘Til they won’t breed / Just here
for the ride / Then we hop with the jet set
tonight / Check out them Indians’ ancestral
art / Some of that would look cute up on our
walls / Yeah, suit it just fine / When we hop
with the jet set tonight / We’ll hire
out some poachers to go steal their dolls /
Who cares if they’re scared - they look
awful cute / National Geographic found a stone
age tribe / Let’s feed them their first
hot dogs on film / Won’t that be a prize
/ To show the jet set tonight / “Aren’t
they cute, aren’t they pure…”
/ Muse subscribers back home / Next weekend
the junta exterminates them / Back home by the
sea at our outdoor café / Our chameleon
tongues catch the flies in the air

DEAR ABBY
Dear Abby, Got a problem. I’m a decent,
underpaid, hardworking county coroner. It’s
important that my family eat meat at least three
times a week. But we just can’t afford
to with the prices the way they are. So I bring
home choice cuts from my autopsy subjects. Just
mix in the Tuna Helper, and ta-da! / The whole
family things my new meals are delicious. They
ask me what’s my secret. Abby, I think
they’re getting suspicious. My smart-ass
8-year-old keeps asking, “Where’s
all the meat? The red dye #2 kind that’s
kept in the fridge.” / If they find out
the truth I don’t think they’ll
understand. Abby, what do I tell my family?
/ DEAR REAGANOMICS VICTIM: Consult your clergyman.
Make sure the body’s blessed and everything
should be just fine.

RAMBOZO THE CLOWN
Got a deadly toy / To brainwash your boy / An
egocentric muscle thug / Kicks butt on screen
like a brat outa hell / Bullshitter in the Indochina
shop / Pull the string in his back, we win the
war / That we never should have started at all
/ A cabbage patch terrorist to call our own
/ Who rewrites history with a machine gun /
Don’t think about it-KILL IT! / That’s
what we teach your child / Chorus: Rambozo /
Rambozo / Rambozo the Clown / To draft-age kids
/ It sure looks like fun- / “Kill ‘em
all / and let God sort ‘em out”
/ Like video games - no mess / Just fuel for
a mass lapse of common sense / You can be Don
Quixote / We’ll dice you with our windmill
blades / Brawn over brain / Means a happy ending
/ G.I. Joe in the cereal bowl / Grey shrapnel-flavored
chewing gum / Mass murder ain’t just painless
/ Now we’ve made it cute / (Chorus) /
War is sexy / War is fun / Iron Ego / Red Dawn
/ Be a wolverine. You’ll rule the hills
/ Just get some guns and Cheerios / Any kid
can conquer Libya / Just steal a fighter plane
/ Look who came home in a wheelchair / V.A.
Hospital, they don’t care / “We’re
the machine / You’re just a tool.”
/ Who fell for the myth of Rambozo the Clown

FLESHDUNCE
We’re world industries’ thoughtlords
/ The entertainment wing / We keep you all in
line / By fixing your free will / Surround you
with pop fantasies / Just slightly out of reach
/ To soften all the blows / Of your forced daily
routine / We strip-mine your underground culture
/ Take the bite out and rinse it clean / Give
ourselves credit for creating it / Then sell
it back to you / At twice the price / Our pod
of talent vampires / Has blown into your town
/ To dazzle, sign and milk you / All strictly
on our own terms / You think you’ve got
a lot to say / We’ll change that real
soon / You’re not a person anymore / We’ve
made you a cartoon / By the time we’re
through remolding you / You won’t even
recognize your face / There’s no end to
the eager beavers / Drawn like moths to our
Babylon’s mirage / Conveyer belt of flashdunce
/ They all want to do the fleshdance / Conveyor
belt of flashdunce / Who all want to do the
fleshdance

THE
GREAT WALL
Great Wall of China / It’s so big it’s
seen from outer space / Put there to keep starving
neighbors / Locked outside the gates / What’s
changed today? / Empires hoard more then they
need / And peasants threaten our comfort / We’ll
build a Great Wall around our power / Build a
Great Wall around our power / Bankrupt L.A.’s
streetcar line / So people pay more to drive /
Plant strategic freeways / To divide neighborhoods
by color lines / We’d rather pay for riot
squads / Than pump your ghetto back to life /
We let your schools decay on purpose / To build
a Great Wall around our power / Another Great
Wall around our power / Warlords in grey suits
/ Take a different route to work each day / Second-hand
green berets / Form the companies’ private
armies. / We’ll take all your gold / But
won’t teach reading or feed your poor /
The League of Gentlemen / Would rather feed guns
to puppet dictators / There’s too many people
in your world / And Refugees are expensive / When
they trickle down onto our soil / We hunt them
and arrest them / Classify them insane / And put
them back on the next plane / To the waiting arms
/ Of the same death squads they fled / We’ve
built a Great Wall around our power / Economic
Great Wall around our power / Worldwide Great
Wall around our power / Give us your poor, / Your
tired and your weak / We’ll send ‘em
right back / To their certain death |
|
|
SHRINK
If only people could shrink / Our world wouldn’t
be so overcrowded / Bring ourselves down to size
/ There’d be so much more food to go ‘round
/ Why don’t we build a machine / With all
the know-how of the industries / We put a man
on the moon / On earth we’ll need more room
to breathe real soon / Oh / Drink your vaccine
and let’s shrink / And bring your poodle
so it doesn’t eat us / The roads will be
so wide / No traffic jams when we’re half
a foot tall / Bring what you need down here /
We’ll shrink it all by microwave / Don’t
wanna die like dinosaurs / We’ll have enough
resources to go round / Oh / So now you’ve
made the big shrink / Meanwhile we’ll keep
acting big / We well-bred beautiful people / Who
says we have to go too? / Cops and Mason businessmen
/ Were exempted from the ovens / As if you weren’t
already / The rest of you are all our termites
now / Oh |
|

TRIUMPH
OF THE SWILL
Life can only get better / All you need to do
is fall in love / Everyone else has fun but you
/ Buy that fun you’ll fit in too / Dance
your problems away / Cheap escape to that mind-control
beat / Mellow out - Life’s too hard / You
don’t even want to think / See the macho
cock-rock metal heroes / Vomit fire out of their
big mouths / Shake your fists obediently / Make
Leni Riefenstahl real proud / See the Aryan bozo
with the red guitar / Parachute on the White House
lawn / Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar
/ So dumb he can’t drive 55 / Like Bing
Crosby before them / Too idiotic to be real /
You want it loud? / We’ll make sure it goes
nowhere / So you won’t get ideas / Chorus:
Triumph of the swill / Triumph of the swill /
Triumph of the swill / Triumph of the swill /
Music is banned in Khomeini’s Iran / On
the grounds that it stimulates the brain / We’ve
done him one better in the land of coke and honey
/ Using music to put people’s brains to
sleep / Ever wonder why commercial radio’s
so bad? / It’s ‘cause someone upstairs
wants it that way / If the Doors or John Lennon
were getting started now / The industry wouldn’t
sign ‘em in a million years / So what do
we get / Christian censorship and taxed blank
tapes / Shoppers strung out on our false hopes
/ Will flock to obey / (Chorus) |
|
|
MACHO
INSECURITY
Name one thing on earth lower than a though guy
/ Who talks with his fists instead of using his
head / Who beats the shit out of anything it can’t
understand / Behind the muscle mask is a scared
little boy / Called / Chorus: Macho insecurity
/ Macho insecurity / Macho insecurity / ‘Cause
you can’t stand yourself / Got a bitch with
me? / Why won’t you say it to my face? /
It’s so easy to mouth off to others / Where’s
your proof? / Maybe we can talk if you’d
just drop your act / Nothing’s ever solved
by making childish threats / That’s Macho
insecurity / (Chorus) / Why do you want people
to be so afraid of you / Why are you so scared
of anything that’s different / No one’s
ever there when you need friends / You wonder
why / It’s ‘cause you take yourself
so seriously / But being such a clown / Gives
the rest of us the right to laugh / At your Macho
insecurity / (Chorus) |
|
|
I SPY
You look at me from the back of the room / All
I see is a bumbling buffoon / Head down like you
don’t see much / Until you move in to make
your bust / Chorus: I spy for you and me / I spy
for you and me / Disguised like you’re one
of the scene / Just stand alone with no real friends
/ Scared people will find out who you are / Alone
in the world without your telephone beeper / (Chorus)
/ Curious folks ask you questions of life / But
you can’t answer cause your heart’s
like a knife / Still you feel like you sing the
last song sung / You’re just a heartless
piece of scum with a gun / (Chorus) |
|

CESSPOOLS
IN EDEN
Poison is bubbling / Beneath your dream home /
Buried there years before / Kid runs in crying
/ From playing in the garden / “Mommy, I
burned my hands!” / “What’s
making our eyes so itchy?” / “Don’t
rub ‘em - they’ll swell up”
/ Oh…Oh Oh Oh / It’s the big waste
dump / Oh, yeah / We built your ticky-tacky houses
/ On landfill soil / To cover up a gift / We left
you years before / Of toxic chemicals / And leaking
gas / Just dig a little while, / You’ll
find our acid baths / Cesspools / In Eden / Oozing
away / Groundwater’s poisoned / Air stings
like hell / The lines for doctors grow long /
Over martinis / The company laughs / “We
don’t owe you a damn thing.” / But
what about all these fainting spells? / How’d
you like a lick / From my open sores / And Oh…Oh
Oh Oh / Why are our babies stillborn? / A storage
tank’s leaking / It’s about to explode
/ Why evacuate / When you can watch the fun /
Nothing happens here / Get out the lawn chairs
/ We’ll drink pink lemonade / And watch
Martinez burn / Cesspools / In Eden / Cesspools
in Eden / Leak by the day / The land we sold you
/ Is right atop our acid pits / We fill them by
the truckload / In the dead of night / There’s
thousands more toxic / Tips of the iceberg / We
pay a little bribe / Or we just don’t report
them / And see what you get- / Cesspools / In
Eden / In Eden / No accident - / Just a little
of our greed-fueled negligence / So you’ve
found the proof why / Your cancer rate’s
shot up / But watcha gonna do / When we’ve
got all the cards / Times Beach, Rocky Flats,
/ Love Canal and Bhopal / Merry Christmas, hostages
/ From the folks that care / Cesspools in Eden
/ Oozing away / Cesspools in Eden / Leak by the
day / Cesspools in Eden / Have a nice day |

ONE
WAY TICKET TO PLUTO
Countdown! / Get ready for the - Blastoff! / And
don’t forget the - Hype! / We’re going
into space / Distinguished scientists / A pesky
senator / And monkey turds leaking from the lab
/ All brought to us play-by-play by Howard Cosell
/ You’re going where no man has gone before
/ Don’t ask us where that is / We have no
idea / You’re chosen for the great mission
/ Because we owe you some favors / And besides

one: / Senator, your vomit, / It’s time
to analyze it / For the folks back home / Open
the hatch, launch the war satellite / That the
commies aren’t supposed to know about /
Our real challenge is to keep it a secret / From
the press back home / You’re going where
no man has gone before / Don’t ask us where
that is - we have no idea / You’re chosen
for this great mission / Because you’re
hearty and strong / And make a lot of fuss / Especially
around us / We like you better when you’re
far away / Have you - noticed? / You’re
going the wrong - direction / We have, but that’s
your - problem? / We planned it that way / We
had to dispose of all of you so / We can spoil
the final frontier / How dare you question our
Star Wars plans / For the farce that they are?
/ You’re going where no man has gone before
/ For rocking the boat / In our temple of doom
/ You’re on a one-way ticket to Pluto /
We wash our hands / Of you and your lost Ark /

DO THE SLAG
Have you heard about the latest craze / That’s
sweepin’ across the nation? / All the punks
from coast to coast / Have discovered an old invention:
/ “Your hair’s too long / Man, you’re
a queer / You’re too new wave / Put down
that beer” / And / Do the Slag - Look at
‘em run / Do the Slag - Hey you scum / Do
the Slag - Ain’t it fun / Do the Slag -
Let’s all be dumb / Badmouth people we don’t
know / Make sure it’s behind their backs
/ Don’t let new people in our scene / It’s
more fun than having a friend / We’ll slag
everyone each and every night / So we can pretend
that we’re all right / Make those pricks
feel just so small / We’ll show the world
that we’re three feet tall / Slander their
integrity / Doubt their humanity / Talk about
their haircuts / Are their politics correct? /
Do the Slag! / Don’t let those sissies on
the floor / They’re unhip, man, they bought
the wrong clothes / Let’s all do the latest
craze / ‘Cause having allies never pays
/ We’ll slag everyone each and every night
/ So we can pretend that we’re all right
/ Make those pricks feel just so small / We’ll
show the world that we’re three feet tall |

GONE
WITH MY WIND
Wake up! Get down here quick! / The president’s
had too much to drink / His days of power are
about gone / He’s been talking to paintings
in the hall / He says, “I’m finished,
so what the hell? / My life is ruined, what matters
now? / I’ve always itched for that last
great thrill / If I die all of you should too”
/ Chorus: Gone with my wind / Out with a bang
/ I’m gonna end it all right now / Gone
with my wind / Out with a bang / You’re
coming with me, oh wow / My bombs will rain down
on D.C. / We’ll nuke our enemies while they’re
asleep / We’ll be safe in the ground below
/ And laugh and drink ‘til the cows come
home / So c’mon, John, whadya say? / It’s
been dancing in my head for years / What’ll
happen if I push this button? / Let’s start
World War III for fun / (Chorus) / Mr. President,
just sit down / We should talk a little while,
I’ll pour another round / What about your
memoirs’ TV rights? / Sit tight-and watch
the fire / Let go of me. Do you think I’m
mad? / To tell the truth, sir, I’d rather
not say / Just keep your paws inside your pockets
/ And planet earth will be OK. / But you reached
for the button anyhow / I had no choice but to
knock you out / That’s just last night’s
bump on your head / On to the next crisis, it’s
another day / (Chorus) |

ANARCHY
FOR SALE
Step right up folks! / Anarchy for sale! / T-shirts
only 10 dollars / Badges only $3.50 / I nicked
the design, never asked the band / I never listen
to them either / Buy! Buy! Buy! from Circle A

/ Another fast-food fad to throw away / Get your
Anarchy For Sale / Anarchy For Sale / Anarchy
For Sale / Sheep unite! / Get your cuddly boots
and studs / Be sure to rebel in proper style /
Rebel along the paths we pick / Out of fear of
peer pressure we create / Hey You! - / Get those
flyers off my wall! / No commie peace shit in
my boutique / No one here cares what that all
means / Our Anarchy is For Sale / Anarchy For
Sale / Anarchy For Sale / Our town sucks / Our
scene rules / To belong you must buy into it /
So we sold you metal spike bracelets / C’mon
let’s see a good fight / That’s Anarchy
For Sale / Anarchy For Sale / Anarchy For Sale |

CHICKENSHIT
CONFORMIST
Punk’s not dead / It just deserves to die
/ When it becomes another stale cartoon / A closed-minded,
self centered social club / Ideas don’t
matter, it’s who you know / If the music’s
gotten boring / It’s because of the people
/ Who want everyone to sound the same / Who drive
bright people out / Of our so-called scene / ‘Til
all that’s left / Is just a meaningless
fad / Hardcore formulas are dogshit / Change and
caring are what’s real / Is this a state
of mind / Or just another label? / The joy and
hope of an alternative / Has become its own cliché
/ A hairstyle’s not a lifestyle / Imagine
Sid Vicious at 35 / Who needs a scene / Scared
to love and to feel / Judging everything / By
loud fast rules appeal / Who played last night?
/ “I don’t know, I forgot. / But diving
off the stage / Was a lot of fun” / Chorus:
So eager to please / Peer pressure decrees / So
eager to please / Peer pressure decrees / Make
the same old mistakes / Again and again / Chickenshit
conformist / Like your parents / What’s
ripped us apart even more than drugs / Are the
thieves and the goddamn liars / Ripping people
off when they share their stuff / When someone
falls are there any friends? / Harder core than
thou for a year or two / Then it’s time
to get a real job / Others stay home, it’s
no fun to go out / When the gigs are wrecked by
gangs and thugs / When the thugs form bands, look
who gets record deals / From New York metal labels
looking to scam / Who sign the most racist queerbashing
bands they can / To make a buck revving kids up
for war / Walk tall, act small / Only as tough
as gang approval / Unity is bullshit / When it’s
under someone’s fat boot / Where’s
the common cause / Too many factions / Safely
sulk in their shells / Agree with us on everything
/ Or we won’t help with anything / That
kind of attitude / Just makes a split grow wider
/ Guess who’s laughing while the world explodes
/ When we’re all crybabies / Who fight best
among ourselves / (Chorus) / That farty old rock
and roll attitude’s back / “It’s
competition, man, we wanna break big.” /
Who needs friends when the money’s good?
/ That’s right, the ‘70’s are
back. / Cock-rock metal’s like a bad laxative
/ It just don’t move me, ya know? / The
music’s OK when there’s more ideas
that solos / De we really need the attitude too?
/ Shedding thin skin too quickly / As a fan it
disappoints me. / Same old stupid sexist lyrics
/ Or is Satan all you can think of? / Crossover
is just another word / For lack of ideas / Maybe
what we need / Are more trolls under the bridge
/ Will the metalheads finally learn something-
/ Or will the punks throw away their education?
/ No one’s ever the best / Once they believe
their own press / “Maturing” don’t
mean rehashing / Mistakes of the past / (Chorus)
/ The more thing change / The more they stay the
same / We can’t grow / When we won’t
criticize ourselves / The ‘60’s weren’t
all failure / It’s the ‘70’s
that stunk / As the clock ticks we dig the same
hole / Music scenes ain’t real life / They
won’t get rid of the bomb / Won’t
eliminate rape / Or bring down the banks / Any
kind of real change / Takes more time and work
/ Than changing channels on a TV set / (Chorus) |

WHERE
DO YA DRAW THE LINE
Seems like the more I think I know / The more
I find I don’t / Every answer opens up so
many questions / Anarchy sounds good to me / Then
someone asks, “Who’d fix the sewers?”
/ “Would the rednecks just play king / Of
the neighborhood?” / How many liberators
/ Really want to be dictators / Every theory has
its holes / When real life steps in / So how do
we feed / And make room for / All the people crowded
on our earth / And transfer all that wealth /
From the rich to those who need it? / Where Do
Ya Draw the Line / Where Do Ya Draw the Line /
I’m not telling you / I’m asking you
/ Ever notice hard line radicals / Can go on star
trips too / Where no one’s pure and right
/ Except themselves / “I’m cleansed
of the system” / (‘Cept when my amp
needs electric power) / Or - “The Party
Line says No. / Feminists can’t wear fishnets”
/ You wanna help stop war? / Well, we reject your
application / You crack too many jokes / And you
eat meat / What better way to turn people off
/ Than to twist ideas for change / Into one more
church / That forgets we’re all human beings
/ Where do ya draw the line? / In Toronto someone
blew up / A cruise missile warhead plant / 10
slightly hurt, 4 million dollars damage / Why
not destroy private property / When it’s
used against you and me / Is that violence / -
Or self-defense? / You tell me / Where Do Ya Draw
the Line / I’m not telling you, I’m
asking you / Where Do Ya Draw the Line / I’m
not telling you, I’m asking you / Where
Do You Draw the Line? |

POTSHOT
HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD
Hey! / Yo! / We’re the United States Marines
/ We know you’ve all been killing each other
/ For at least two thousand years / But we’re
here now / To protect the family / Of Christian
heroin warlords / Most friendly to the west /
So you knock off this fighting / Or we’ll
tell mom / Ever notice news / Is staged like TV
wrestling shows / With Reagans and Khaddafis cast
/ As cartoon villains and heroes / Or those wildlife
“documentaries” / Where a lion from
a zoo / Kills a deer tied down ahead of time /
“At the perfect camera angle” / When
lemmings balk at dying for Disney / They’re
just hurled off the cliff / We are gathered here
today / To take photos of the president / Pretending
to mourn these brave young men / Who came home
from Beirut / Gift-wrapped in body bags / A truck
bomb blew them to bits / We knew they were sitting
ducks / We sacrificed ‘em, Aztec style /
So we could use their dead meat / To cook up war
fever back home / So make sure you take lots of
pictures / And slant you news on our way / Just
like in Wild Kingdom / We first tied down the
prey / We want people boiling for revenge / In
their living rooms / So we can go play shoot-em-up
/ Anywhere we choose / And our backers can cash
in / Without the public asking questions |

D.M.S.O.
D… M… S… O… / Crypto wonder
drug in vogue / Some people say / It cures arthritis
/ Maybe that’s why / It keeps getting banned
/ It’s absorbed / Directly through the skin
/ Mix it with lemon juice / Touch your fingertips
/ You’ll taste the lemon / The police /
Started a riot / Down at the courthouse / Again
/ Running amok / Spilling blood / Bashing heads
/ I do my part / Behind the lines / Swabbing door
handles of cop cars / With D.M.S.O. / Mixed with
L.S.D. |

watched / And it’s your word against ours
/ Yeah, just because we’re hiring you /
That don’t mean we trust you at all / You’ll
have to take a test like this / Once or twice
every week / We know machines, they make mistakes
/ Yeah, it’s your word against our deaf
black box / The machine is always right / ‘Cause
we know how it makes you feel so small / Because
you’re guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re
guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie
Detector) / ‘Til you’re proven innocent
these days / No one’s innocent these days
/ ‘Cause when you’re innocent it just
don’t pay |
