lyrics

Oh let's get down - we're gonna go under
And I've wondered
How this climate came to be
It's a long and tedious story,
And you bore me
When you compare me to things you've seen.

Have you seen the TV?
That nature documentary
On nasty bigits, fragile freaks and those who just can't read.
They round 'em up unfairly
And lock 'em in the telly
Then watch them all unravel,
Fall to bits and pieces
Or EXPLODE.

"I'm great, get me, I'm a bitch and
I like girls - stop the bus, take a picture..."
I'm not like anyone I've seen
In a single magazine
Who should I be?

Crrrrass is the word - too little, overtold
It's the new world
Rolling fights and tits and tears.
And then as the boundaries loosen
E X E C U T I O N
...
...and a band new dance - da-da da-da da-DAH!

You be bad and I'll be goody
I'll be sweep and you be sooty
I'll be a novelty tory
You be a revolting bore and
I'll distort myself and you
Define myself through what I screw
And all the hate intoxicates us
But! we'll be in all the papers.

So alone

But so well known

Someone take me home.

Come out from the stocks and crawl back in your box
And enlighten us dumb congregation
I've got no style
And no feminine whiles
And you've got no imagination
I like beliefs
And peculiar teeth
And I'd rather be fat
Than be Gillian McKeith
And though I am human
Thus often improper
If I had a wife
I don't think I would swap her
And though I am stupid
And sometimes I stammer
I don't seem as if
I've been hit with a hammer
But I've got no elegence
I've got no fashion sense
Got NOTHING!
...but I've got a new dance - da-da da-da da-DAH!
I think tonight we might be in a puppet show
You're very cute, I wish you could do more than squeak, though.
Can't help but notice you forgot to wear some pants, there -
Don't like to make a fuss, a song and dance, da-da da-da da-da

Have you seen the TV?
That nature documentary
On nasty bigits, fragile freaks and those who just can't read.
They round 'em up unfairly
And lock 'em in the telly
Then watch them all unravel,
Fall to bits and pieces
Or explode...

(INS)

Oh just someone take me home.
