Lyrics
This is not a rebel song
This is...the rebel song
It's another Thursday night
And I sit without you
I could really care less
Cause you took away my music
(chorus)
I say bye bye to you
Bye by to you
With your especially special specials
And your drawn out dramas
With kids with explosive heads
And all the real people
With real problems yippee
(chorus)
You took away my music
Fooled around and ruined everything
But the kids all stare at what's cool
I remember
Lyrics
(chorus)
Yo wea yo wea yah
To do that which we really
Hate things which we sincerely
Doth thou think we merely
Never seem so dearly
So you can blah...blah...blah
Eeee...don't ask she
Think about me around a tree
I doubt you'll want me dead
Then they rectimy secure
You shall extricate
Whatever say those things
The little hummingbirds
(chorus)
So you can stop...stop...stop
Yeow...don't ask thee
To be the one
I doubt you'll want me red
'Cause my other name is Daisy Blade
Concise to my point
(chorus)
Lyrics
Sickle fender blunder bender
(chorus)
Trek among and within the joint
Compress throughout the manage point
Collide within the second day
And all will cheer Ho Jay Ho Jay
When you found the end of time
And told me where the light switch hides
I grew to where I turn you off
With them and thumb
The nose of righteousness
I hate the way we've come
Through the dark and bright and sunny
I know we haven't got your money
Don't you know that I am funny
(chorus)
Sickle fender blunder bender
(chorus)
Who needs you, who needs blue?
Wait, I don need blue
Lyrics
My head implodes
My insides rotate
Whenever I think about it
It makes me sick
From when the moon comes up
'Till when the sun sets
It makes me sick
Whenever I think about it
And I try
O yea I try
To think about happy, medicated thoughts
But they always take me back
Why can I not forget about them
I just want to be free for a while
But whenever I think about it
It makes me sick
It makes me sick sick sick
O so very sick
I can't concentrate
I can't hide away
I'm really sick
Lyrics
This house has no mirrors
Only windows
And there's a library book
Without pages
That everyone rents to read
To read forever
and there are plenty of animals
For everyone to share
And pet and love
And poke and kill
And there are many jokes I know
An especially funny one
I don't know
And there are these things called computers
Magic devices that can connect you to pornos
As I have heard
It's the only use
Lyrics
Why does everybody look at me
When I explain what gods we be
...As if they don't know what they've always seen
...They're denying that they have been free
That will never, ever, ever be me
I swear that it's only me
Won't you swear that it's only you
You continue to do
What the children say is true
...What your mother told you to
...And you sit down in your pew
Why doesn't everybody look at you
Lyrics
It's time to take out the trash
Why can't I take out the trash
My trash, your trash, all the peoples' trash
Why won't you let me take out your trash
It' all I want to do
I want to take out the trash
I want to take out the trash
Trashin, trashin, trashin, trashin
Trashin, trashin around and around
Lyrics
Cat got crushed in the chair
Cat got crushed in the chair
Cat got crushed in the chair
Where did the cat come from
Where did the cat come from
The cat got crushed in the chair
The cat got crushed in the chair
Her tail, feet, and hair;
Her tail, feet, and hair
The cat got crushed in the chair
Cat got crushed in the chair
Lyrics
Ahh hah hah hah
We are now the repetitive ones
Repetitive as in repeating
Repeating as in like repetitive
Repetitive as in the newest bestest cliche
Cliche as in
(chorus)
Repeat, repeat, we like to repeat
Everyone likes to repeat
Yeah, everyone likes to repeat
Because it has already been done
Just hang around cause
Everything will be okay
Everything will turn out alright
Everything will be okay
Everything will turn out alright
You just have to give it time
Lyrics
I spent a dollar
On last month's rent
I spent my money
On my last Christmas
(chorus)
I swear I spent it wisely
And there are friends to back me
On my last set of cents
I spent a dollar
And a silly boy kicked my ass
And a small woman swatted me
With a lead pipe
Cinch
I spent my money on a sweet
Bar of chocolate
And it spit in my face
(chorus)
Lyrics
Two leprechauns rise from the grave
To seek revenge on their brother
An animated lawn chair in the basement
Who was always a jerk
My advice to you
My advice to you
Is to stop thinking about everything that is real
Printed out your story
Read it once
Send it through the shredder
And it begins again
My advice to you
My advice to you
Stop thinking about stuff that is real
Just stop thinking
Lyrics
Tiny speckle of glimmering light
Just a member of the endless plight
Yet so obscure, as to be alone,
Without the rigidity of spine and bone
Endless members of an infinite society
Where you are alone, but part of many
Only to have your highest impact
While not conforming to decorum or tact
Coarse and malformed or uneven in disguise
A product of nature, and nature is sly
Who offers no purpose which you're to live for
Until mankind comes along and you're a pane in the door
Roughness and softness are ever simplistic
Fine grains have no say in comfort of tunic
Upon the skin of the weary traveler
Who was unavoidably an innocent sand particle worshiper
One does flow where the dune does go
And sinks as the time that it does show
But there is none to say that you'll blow that way
for logic and nature explain the tendency not to stay
More than denying "many being one"
You are the opposite of civilization
Lyrics
Hegh, hegh, hegh, hegh
I heard about this
They've got you running
To the where
At the near end
At the near end
To the where
I heard about this
What it is
Hegh, hegh, hegh, hegh
They've got you running
From the nothing
To the shy
At the broadside
At the broadside
The shy
