THE SKY IS FALLING, AND I WANT MY MOMMY

THE SKY IS FALLING, AND I WANT MY MOMMY SONG: FALLING SPACE JUNK

Nuclear satellites 

Thrown up in space 

Will all burn out some 

Day guess where they'll crash 

We've been lucky so far 

Every toy up there is another chernobyl 

Waiting to happen 

Why? 

Space shuttle blew up again 

People drop dead 

News says "don't worry" 

Then the truth comes out 

Since 1988 

Every shuttle in space 

Has carried 46 

Pounds of plutonium 

Why? 

I don't know 

I'm scared to care 

Enough plutonium 

That if it blows 

The fallout cancer 

Could kill 5 billion people 

So now it's over 

It's really over 

Space junk in the street 

Irradiated atmosphere 

Fallout covers the earth 

Greenhouse so hot we fry 

Six months, maybe years 

We all know we'll die 

So - what matters now? 

Nothing matters now 

Imagine what would happen 

If everyone on earth 

Realized this at once 

Gonna go loot stores! 

Piss anywhere! 

Break into peoples houses 

Play with their underwear 

Strew all my prizes in the street 

You can't take it with you 

Nothing left to do 

But go home 

And bolt the doors 

Why? 

Let's curl up real close 

And tell each other 

All the things we still don't know 

About our lives 

Why? 

Falling space junk in the streets 

Eadiation in the air 

Nothing left that's safe to eat 

The sky is melting 

And I want my mommy. 

JESUS WAS A TERRORIST

Jesus was a terrorist 

Enemy of the state 

That's what the romans labeled him 

So he was put to death 

He died for his beliefs 

What's changed today? 

Today bible-thumping cannibals 

Reap money from his name 

Buy cable networks & power 

With old ladies' checks 

If jesus saw pat robertson 

What do you think he'd say? 

Tax-free they re-write our laws 

And sick 'em on you 

Women don't control their bodies 

TV preachers do 

Censor everything from bathing suits 

To science books 

From the schoolroom to the bedroom 

They want our thoughts - or else 

They treat us like the romans 

Used to treat the christians 

Een some church going folks are scared 

Modern catacombs of fear 

Built with money, power and threats 

Rock'n'roll is labeled porn 

Sell a record, you're under arrest 

Instead of fighting aids 

They try to stop us having sex 

They brag that they won't quit 

Till they take dominion over our lives 

Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act 

Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat 

Believe what you want 

But we'll fight to keep 

Out heads from being cemented in your sand. 

BRUCE'S DIARY

On the top floor, from my penthouse 

I survey what I rule 

High rises 

Thin curtains 

All lights go out by two 

No one ever sees me 

Yet I know all of you 

It's sort of like a small town 

When your whole lives are on my computer 

Ah... Ah... 

All the power, none of the stress 

So much better being hatchet man 

Than a henpecked attention-starved target 

Like the big man himself 

Our goal is perpetual economic victory 

We play with you to amuse ourselves 

Our motives are personal 

Our motives are political 

Our motives are sexual 

I know 

Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho 

The laws we make for others 

Don't apply to us 

We do what we want 

A lethargic population is the key to our control 

Who'd rather watch someone's life on tv 

Than participate in their own 

Mentally they feel helpless 

Physically they just give up 

We priced the healthy food so high 

They can only buy soda pop 

A house broken bee colony 

That goes home after 5 

Too burnt and glazed to threaten us 

With purpose in their lives 

Ah... Ah... 

Ha Ha Ha 

We drug their snacks at work 

Mix hormones in kids lunch at school 

Don't be a pill, it's good for you 

The men grow up muscular 

Short tempered and kinda dumb 

The women develop those outrageous curves 

The kind you only used to see 

In the movies and magazines 

We banned and rounded up for ourselves 

Hi-Ho 

Hi-Ho 

It's off to do our work you go 

We melt you with acid rain 

Keep you poor for economic gain 

Convince you your biggest threat 

Is drugs and terrorists 

They don't even have to be real 

Just find a face, make up a crime 

Run sensational headlines 

Works every time 

The people must not realize 

They are being manipulated 

For them to be manipulated effectively 

We give 'em things to worry about 

Buying clothes and losing weight 

Your lack of curiosity 

Is the key to our success 

Your lack of curiosity is the key to our success 

Hi Ho 

Hi Ho 

Hi Ho 

Life's so simple and happy 

When everything's clear. 

BAD

We're bad So bad 

We're bad So bad 

We're bad So bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

I feel it in my heart 

I believe it in my soul 

But we will never live 

Long enough to know 

Restless and curious 

Down in my gut I know 

That I will never ever 

Want what I am told 

Cos 

We're bad So bad 

We're bad So bad 

We're bad So bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

We're bad 

Mama told me from the start 

Got the same rap at school 

Heard it so much that now 

Guess I believe it too 

So guess what kinda crowd 

I hang around with now 

Being bad is better 

Than being nothing at all 

We're bad! 

RIDE THE FLUME

If I could travel back in time 

I'd go to 1899 

High in the Sierra Hills 

And ride the lumber down the Sanger flume 

The flume 

Ride the flume 

Ride the flume 

Ride the flume 

Watch out for that tree 

Forget log rides in amusement parks 

This one's 50 miles long 

Water slide with four foot sides 

Down the mountain, 60 miles an hour 

Drop through the Devil's Slide 

Four thousand feet in 13 miles 

Miss a curve, ya sail into space 

Hope them 2 x 4's don't break 

The flume 

Ride the flume 

Ride the flume 

Me and you 

Va-va-voom! 

Watch out for that tree 

Watch out for that tree! 

Around 

Around 

To the sides of the cliffs we cling 

The trestle creaks 

As we're swept across the canyon 

100 feet below 

Rickety timbers - please don't fail me now 

Oh no... 

Watch out for that tree 

Watch out for that tree 

Or its pine cone sex face first 

For you and me. 

CHEW

Someone's dad passed out in the street 

The wind-up key woker bees 

Buzz right on by 

At night he still lies 

There 'cos nobody cares 

Insects with briefcases ignore him 

Been lying here for days 

Not my problem, man 

Look man, this is new york 

Now the rats are coming to feed 

Every night they bring more and more of their friends 

Immune to rat poison, totally unafraid 

And this is a very special treat indeed 

They crawl up my pantleg / I’m too weak to move 

No one hears my cries as they start on my toes 

Their teeth are like razors as they gnaw at my hands 

It sure beats mcdonald's so get it while it lasts 

Chew Devour 

Chew Devour 

Chew Devour 

Chew Devour 

See the headline in the Post? 

No one helped that old man for a week 

They're homeless cos they wanna be 

Let's talk about sports 

Watch 'em tear that old building down 

On the way home 

But when a bulldozer pops the rubble like a pimple 

Volcanoes of rats swarm all over us like bees 

As big as a cat, not afraid to chase people 

Or nibble on the wipers and vinyl roofs of cars 

People are panicking, the cops have all fled 

A shotgun will only kill one at a time 

And it won't be the last time we run for our lives 

From those teeth sinking into our arms and legs 

Chew Devour 

Chew Devour 

Chew Devour 

Chew Devour 

Mmm Mmm Good 

City fathers see a bright future ahead 

Where the poor no longer exist 

Drive the neighborhood people away from their homes 

Paint 'em over and quadruple the rent 

Isolate the undesirables in places like Harlem 

Our sowetos without walls 

If they won't go away 

Cops smash their heads 

Like they did in Tompkins Square 

Those stories give me the creeps 

I hope I didn't miss that last train 

Some smart-ass plastered life-size pictures of rats 

On the walls of the subway station 

Funny joke 

It's so quiet down here 

It's a little too quiet down here 

Who's that across the tracks 

Smoldering eyes are glaring up at me 

Inching closer and closer, almost laughing out loud 

The train finally comes, but it won't even stop 

Not here, not tonight 

I'm off in an hour, I don't wanna get involved 

With some guy in a suit fighting rats off his face 

Just leave 'em to the night, they'll be gone the next day

SHARKS IN THE GENE POOL

First the urine test - now this 

First the urine test - now this! 

Why do all the best technology advances 

Always wind up in the worst possible hands 

Through dna analysis 

We may one day conquer disease 

A "perfect" baby every time 

By mapping and manipulating people's genes 

Cosmetic surgery before you're born 

Know in advance what you'll die of 

Everyone is useful and the same 

Swimmers bred like horses for olympic teams 

Life insurance? be serious! 

You have to get your genes screened first 

Toxic chemicals? fumes at work? 

No sweat! get a gene transplant 

Otherwise you'll lose your job do 

You wanna wind up out in the streets? 

And raise your children in campgrounds and shelters? 

And beg to eat 

There's too many sharks in the gene pool 

Too many chewed up bodies on the shore 

Too many sharks in the gene pool 

Too many leftovers rotting all around us 

First the urine test - now this! 

Why do the best technological advances 

Keep winding up as... 

Uniform hybrid species 

For fresh-looking pest-proof food 

An apple can sit on the shelf for years 

When we irradiate the molecules 

But where did the nutrition go? 

And what's taken it's place? 

Slipshod tampering with science 

Out of control factory farm eugenics 

Slaughterhouses in lowa 

Filled with tumor-infested cows 

Failed experiments hidden 'til sold 

To your local school lunch program 

Grade D, but edible 

Our food, our life, our attitude 

Suffocating in what we refuse to recycle 

Time bombs fester in every town 

Billions of dollars spent every year 

Searching for a cure for cancer 

Why not spend that money instead 

To wipe out pollution that causes the cancer 

There's too many sharks in the gene pool 

Too many screw-ups washing on shore 

Too many sharks in the gene pool 

Too many preventable accidents among us 

Meryl Streep... where are you? 

Where did american know how go 

Why do japanese build better stereos 

Is it 'cos our best minds can't get a job 

Except when they help make toys for the Pentagon 

Germ warfare, more bombs 

Germ warfare, more bombs 

Our whole economy's based on fear and death 

How long can we get away with this? 

And we live here 

Instead of better health we get a.i.d.s. 

Instead of nourishment we get steroids 

The most popular selections at celebrity sperm banks 

Are sports heroes 

Gap widens between the haves and the have-nots 

Rich and powerful breed only with themselves 

We all know what happens when too much of this happens 

The offspring just ain't real bright 

How else can you explain 

The erosion of talent and the vision thing 

To the point where the best that they can come up with 

For our future role models and leaders 

Are vicious blind machines 

Like Albert Gore and Dan Quayle 

Why do the best solutions and advances 

Get thrown away in the worst possible hands 

There's too many sharks in the gene pool 

Too many carcasses washing on shore 

Too many sharks in the gene pool 

Avalanche of toxic guts all around us 

We're incompetent as human beings 

Even worse at playing God 

Wrong people 

Right place 

Ruling class 

Gets the only pass 

To board the ark 

For outer space 

In 2001 

What about this place? 

THE MYTH IS REAL - LET'S EAT

In san francisco you can be mayor at 18 

But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab 

What goes on 

Is not what we're told to see 

Patrick henry said "Give me liberty or death" 

A the time he owned 65 slaves 

The myth is real - Let's eat 

Fake patriots say you can't burn the flag 

But guess who whines the most 

'bout having to pay taxes 

To their country 

Decay 

Decline 

Cover up 

Refine 

Dow Jones 

Where's home 

When everything we lean on 

Is up for sale 

Ad lady purrs, "Drink our liquor, you'll get laid" 

Next billboard says, "Don't drink and drive" 

What goes on is not what we're told to see 

Panic! Panic! War on drugs 

But you can buy beer at gas stations 

The myth is real - let's eat 

Pagan priests first used perfume 

To mask the smell of burning flesh 

Back in ancient Rome 

The statues were unscrewed 

Leaders change - just replace the heads 

Decay 

Decline 

Cover up 

Refine 

We are 

In life 

Roulette wheel 

Or the ball inside 

Anyone out there stopped to think 

What our lives might be like today 

If Karl Marx was as good a salesman 

As Walt Disney 

The bacon brought 

You home to cook 

The lobster lets 

Itself get boiled 

Looks too hard to climb 

Out of the pot with all the crabs 

Fear the unknown 

Who taught you that? 

One hundred million trees a year 

Get made into junk mail no one reads 

What goes on is not what we're told to see 

Half of all americans don't read books 

I'm one of them, but you're reading this 

The myth is real - let's eat 

General Robert E. Lee 

Freed his slaves before Grant freed his 

Brian Willson's legs 

Severed by a train 

The crew sues him for stress 

Levis were once made of hemp * 

From the marijuana plant 

One acre makes four times more paper 

Than an acre of trees 

More protein than soy beans 

Threat to logging companies 

Du Pont and tobacco barons 

Got it banned in '37 

The world is made of connections 

So many sheep in wolf's clothing 

Scary times are never dull 

How long before our empire falls 

No one wants the Pentagon 

Toilets for six hundred bucks 

Japanese spend twice as much 

On pinball as defense 

Meanwhile concerned citizens 

In Albany, Oregon 

Try to ban a book 

'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus 

We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls 

While only 15% believe he's in control 

And 64% of lowans surveyed 

Want to be reincarnated as themselves 

Wowee...
