BACK TO TOP



2. B.Y.O.B.


Why do they always send the poor

Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spankinī deals

Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybodyīs going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Mosesī dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybodyīs going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybodyīs going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Blast off
Itīs party time
And we donīt live in a fascist nation

Blast off
Itīs party time
And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why donīt presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why donīt presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Mosesī dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybodyīs going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybodyīs going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why donīt presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why donīt presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poo

9. Sad Statue


Conquest to the lover
And your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absolute
Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

The pictures of time and space are rearranged
In this little piece of typical tragedy
Justified candy
Brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

You and me
Weīll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didnīt agree

You and me
Weīll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didnīt agree

I forgot to
I forgot to let you know that
Justified candy
Brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

Conquest to the lover
And your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absolute
Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

You and me
Weīll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didnīt agree

You and me
Weīll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didnīt agree
Generation

What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering
Suffering, suffering now

You and me
Weīll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didnīt agree

You and me
Weīll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didnīt agree
Generation

Belonging

11. Lost In Hollywood


Iīll wait here
Youīre crazy
Those vicious streets are filled with strays
You shouldīve never gone to Hollywood

They find you
Two-time you
Say youīre the best theyīve ever seen
You shouldīve never trusted Hollywood

I wrote you
And told you
You were the biggest fish out here
You shouldīve never gone to Hollywood

They take you
And make you
They look at you in disgusting ways
You shouldīve never trusted Hollywood

I was standing on the wall
Feeling ten feet tall
All you maggots
Smoking fags on Santa Monica Blvd.

This is my front page
This is my new age
All you bitches put your hands in the air
And wave them like you just donīt care

All you maggots
Smoking fags out there on Sunset Blvd.
All you bitches put your hands in the air
And wave them like you just donīt care

Phony people come to pray

Look at all of them beg to stay
Phony people come to pray

(The lines in the letter said
"We have gone to Hackensack")

Look at all of them beg to stay
Phony people come to pray

All you maggots
Smoking fags on Santa Monica Blvd.

All you maggots
Smoking fags out there on Sunset Blvd.

All you maggots
Smoking fags out there on Hollywood Blvd.

You shouldīve never trusted Hollywood
You shouldīve never gone to Hollywood

All you bitches put your hands in the air
And wave them like you just donīt care
You shouldīve never trusted Hollywood
