Knowledge is key.
You can never know too much.
Well I won't let them
Keep me from learning all I can.
Public schools just stand up.
The system feeds our minds.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that supported slavery?
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.
I won't let you
Play me for a fool
But I cant pray in school.
Make a decision for yourself
Don't bother with any trends
Open up a book
And share the knowledge with your friends.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that created slavery?
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.

The Ataris - Hey Kid!

I wait for the day to come
when I'll wake up and be a star.
I dream of a different world...
somewhere where we will go far.
I bitch about my life.
I bitch about the scene.
I hate this fucking town
wish that it was all a dream.
(Chorus) Bitch, bitch, bitch!
That's all you ever do.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
Your ego will destroy you.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
That's all I have to say.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
Now I'll just fade away.
(Insert lame guitar solo here.)
Just as long as I act cool
then people will suck up to me.
They won't realize that I'm a fake
and that's what I'm going to be.
A dream and a kid
who changes every day.
Someone that has to talk
when he's got nothing to say
Hey kid, it's a great big world
out there that you think you need to see.
Hey kid, go on and live that life...
But live it without me!
(Chorus #2) Bitch, bitch, bitch!
That's all you ever do.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
No one's more punk than you.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
Your life is just a trend.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
We'll see who's happy in the end.

A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by,
The lights below...they spell out your name.
You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time.
And lots of feelings that I can't explain.
I won't spend another night alone. [x2]
Out of every girl I meet, no other can compete
I'd ditch 'em all for a night with you.
I know you don't believe you mean this much to me
But I promise you that you do.
I won't spend another night alone. [x2]
If I had one wish this is what it would be...
I'd ask you to spend all your time here with me,
And we'd be together forever.
We'd buy a small house in south central L.A.
Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang
Just as long as we're together.
The things you make me wanna do
I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you
I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free
Just as long as you'd be with me.
I won't spend another night alone. [x2]

birds in the air
never chirped the same
slobs in bowling alleys
never burped the same
they came to cry
shocked with disbelief
a broken mass of millions
all drowning in their grief
she was just an innocent
how could you lord?
they cried the day
that farrah fawcett died
Throughout the globe
every chinese man and turk
their unifying symbol
they really liked her work
but who's to blame?
no one made a move
until i find out who did this
nobody leaves the room
they say the road was icy
but that just don't add up
a bushy-haired intruder
another government cover up!
a drug-related overdose
a hunting accident
death at the hands of another,
i'll bet!
first JFK
and then we lost the king
thank god it must be over now
they say they come in threes
but still i ache
the world has lost a friend
i'll trade all
of my viewmaster reels
to see her once again

Seven hits of L
and nobody could tell
So I spent every dime
just to get to Aniehem
I was in the Magic Kingdom
Now I'm in the Carribean
You get something really wicked
when you spend an E-ticket
High adventure on the sea,
but it's not the life for me
Now those harry tatooed pirates are all chasing after me
I was threatened with a knife by a pirate playing fife
Now I'm sailing for my life thanks to LSD 25
Where can I hide?
I don't want to buy a bride
I'm alone as I float
Hey, there were others in my boat
Up ahead, one of the men
he said he would be my friend
He'd guide me to the hole
If I deeded him my soul
To the hole I didn't make it
That doesn't mean he didn't take it
He laughed at my plight
He said you'll be one of us tonight
High adventure on the sea,
but it's not the life for me
Now those harry tatooed pirates are all chasing after me
I was threatened with a knife by a pirate playing fife
Now I'm sailing for my life thanks to LSD 25
He was right, I'm still here
as I have been, for over a year
With my last bit of hope,
a tin can and rope
I just want to break free
But I can't get away
No I can't get away
cause that damn dog's got the key
No one listens as I tell
of my ordeal in this cell
They stand right by
but they don't fell
Is this for real?
Is this for real!

Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King
The more I drank from it the less I saw of you
That bottle's empty now and you and I are through
When you gave me the King of gifts I didn't know what to say
Except a hundred and fifty dollars in an awful lot to pay
For a girl like you who doesn't make much money, anyway
But you cared enough to put away a little everyday
For that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
If I had made it last or filled it up would it have changed a thing?
It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
They told me I should save it, it'd be worth something
Someday
But me I couldn't wait and the King of Rock got lighter everyday
Soon it was half empty and I was half as close to you
Then I drank the rest, and should've guessed I drank our love in two
Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
In the name of Elvis, why did you have to leave?
When I love you and I need you desperately tonite

We all went to the Playboy Mansion,
Partied with the Marilyn Manson.
I think my time's arrived at last,
I was doing cocaine off Miss Octobers' Ass.
You don't believe me but it's true.
You don't believe me and you don't have to.
You don't believe me but it's true.
You don't believe me and you don't have to.
It's not the kind of shit that I'd make up.
We all went to the Playboy Mansion,
Met some girl with a breast expansion.
Saw the stupid car she bought,
and got a hand job out in the parking lot.
You don't believe me but it's true.
You don't believe me and you don't have to.
You don't believe me but it's true.
You don't believe me and you don't have to.
Don't ask me about everybody there,
but we did get drunk with that basketball guy
with the funny hair.
You don't believe me but it's true.
You don't believe me and you don't have to.
You don't believe me but it's true.
You don't believe me and you don't have to.
It's not the kind of shit that I'd make up.

Don't need no guidelines, don't want direction
Crash right into the intersection
Go far away, I think I could
And leave 'em high and dry in Hollywood
I heard 'em sayin' "Josh Freese is ready
He's on the brink now so keep it steady"
I want distortion
I want Slayer
I want a prostitute and not pay her
Don't cut it short or draw the line and fuck it up in 1999
I heard 'em sayin' "Josh Freese is ready
He's on the brink now so keep it steady"
If you want to tell 'em all I'm ready for 'em right away
Right away, right away, right away
I heard 'em sayin' "Josh Freese is ready
He's on the brink now so keep it steady"
If you want to let those fuckers know!
I want distortion
I want Slayer
I want a prostitute and not pay her
Don't really matter what else you say
Just tell 'em all I'm ready right away
Right away, right away, right away

I want my tunnel vision
I need my medication
I want your arms around me
Wop bop dip bop doo doo doo doo
I made myself religion
I make my own decisions
I want your arms around me
Wop bop dip bop doo doo doo doo
I give myself promotions
To ride in automotion
I want your arms around me
Wop bop dip bop doo doo doo doo
I catch myself from falling
I hear my heaven calling
I want your arms around me
Wop bop dip bop doo doo doo doo
I'll march in syncopation
I'll do it all
Give you that masturbation
I'll do it all
Hey little fingers how do ya do?
I'll lick the sweat from your feet if you want me to
I'm the king of spank oh what a duty I do
I'll suck a bucket of crud right out of you

Last night our beer turned to piss
And all the holes laughed at our miss
While the others danced to toy box bands
It didn't make a difference they still try to break you
I know you have to have a reason
For all the wallets that walked out the in door
It doesn't matter what your parents said
It doesn't matter it just don't matter
Waiting for all the bars to shut down
You got them running another night on the town
Summer assault and summer time
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
You get it on
I know I got a right to be wrong
That's why I wrote all of you this song
Some are weak and some are strong
Looking through your braindead eyes
You get it on
Last night out piss turned to beer
And all out shows ended in fear
While the others danced that cocaine dance
It didn't make a difference it's all still the same to you
I know that things are getting better
And you made them believe that you're a go-getter
It doesn't matter what those teachers said
It doesn't matter it just don't matter
He fingers you âtil the morning
You can't wait âtil next weekend
Some things never change
Most things stay the same
I'm afraid for you and me
That we'll end up like dead batteries
Chances are I'll be dead and gone
So get it on

Those tears remember those burning tears
High school can be so cruel
You can love anyone
You can hurt everyone
Miss Piggy Miss Piggy piggy tails
Who popped your blue balloon?
You can love anyone
You can fuck everyone
Cats and dogs monchichi wishes
Plastered lips and angel kisses
Bang, bang, bang goes your little gun
A contestant of point and shoot
I'm a registered nurse - I can help you
I'm a sweaty glove - I can love you
I'm that dirty kiss - strong and leveled you
Let the truth be told - I can love you
Pin you down and throw you up
Crush your bones with a wink
Stepping on steeples
Swallowing needles
Sweating on leather
Cheating on God
And God has cheated on you

Is there such things as to sensitive? Should we ignore what really hurts? You're taking what I'm not giving, It's always the stupid things that seem to hurt us. But can you see it in my eyes? When you walked away and stabbed me in the back.
But please don't tell me no more lies, And I can see it in your eyes, When you walked away chin buried in your chest,
And don't you think I realize What's going on with the way you feel about me? When I walk around this town, All the different shades of brown, People and the weather are so alike these days. Snow on the ground, depressed and cold Beats the choice of growing old, Thinking about you makes me smile. Confused about the way I feel, Can't find the words to say. I'm screaming but no one's listening, Same distant feelings, different day. Can you see it in my eyes? When you walked away and stabbed me in the back? But please don't tell me no more lies. When I walk around this town, All the different shades of brown, People and weather are so alike these days. Snow on the ground, depressed and cold Beats the choice of growing old, Thinking about you makes me smile. And I can see it in your eyes, When you walked away chin buried in your chest, And don't you think I realize What's going on with the way you feel about me? When I walk around this town, All the different shades of brown, People and weather are so alike these days. Snow on the ground, depressed and cold Beats the choice of growing old, Thinking about you makes me smile.

They teach us
to be "ourselves"
in a structured society
Facists, racists police states
somtimes I don't feel very free
And I am falling down(down! down! down!)
And the system is falling down(down! down! down!)
I am falling down!
I am falling down!
YEAH!They exploit your freedom
and they take away your rights(RIGHTS!)
The one they use, they try to abuse
No matter how hard we fight(WE FIGHT!)
And I am falling down(down! down! down!)
And the system is falling down(down! down! down!)
I am falling down!
So stop the hate
don't segregate
Stop the fighting we're all dying
Stop the preaching, start the teaching
Pull together, make the system better!
And I am falling down
I am falling down
I am falling down
down! down! down! down!
I am falling down

now it's time and i don't know if i like it, maybe so
my eyes play tricks on me
happiness is in my mind
boy i'm feeling oh so fine
feels like i'm in a dream
sometimes it makes mean words
don't matter much cause we're not quite in touch
we sure do know what they mean
it's never the same old thing
feels like i'm in a dream
looks like we meet again
now it's time and i don't know if i like it, i think so
happiness is in my mind
boy we're feeling oh so fine
feels like i'm in a dream
everything is turning green
my eyes play tricks on me.

Tired of hearing what the others think is wrong or right.
Popular opinions become morals over night.
You think you're bad and wrong.
You think you're bad and wrong.
Because you did this or did that too long.
Fight the war on drugs, or so they say.
But then I ask myself, who are they?
Who are they to play god with me,
when they can't even see past their own TV?
Now I think I've got it all figured out.
Nobody really knows what anyone else is about.
Now I think I've got it all figured out.
Nobody really knows what anyone else is about.
Everybody knows what they want you to do.
When you point the finger there's three pointing back at you.
How can all these people tell you, the way that you should go,
when they can't even break out of the oldest shell they've ever known?
Don't take for granted all the things that you can learn,
'cause your whole mind is what you've learned.
'Cause there's a rhythm, and once you find it you will know,
how to get through all the shit and just say no.
Now I think I've got it all figured out.
Nobody really knows what anyone else is about.
Now I think I've got it all figured out.
Nobody really knows what anyone else is about.
Tired of hearing what the others think is wrong or right.
Popular opinions become morals over night.
Don't take for granted all the things that you can learn,
'cause your whole mind is what you've learned.
Don't take for granted all the things that you can learn,

You didn't have to be so mean to me
I guess now I see how it's gonna be
I'm joining GSF, I've made up my mind
Forget this thing called love, it's a waste of time
Girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
Not for one second have I understood
Why they do what they do, why they say what they say
Always happens to my friends, it always happens to me
It's taken me 19 years to finally see
She said "Can we just be friends?
It's just not working out."
Another broken heart that I can do without
Girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
Not for one second have I understood
Why they do what they do, why they say what they say

And now I've got a big question mark above my head.
I am one step behind the big fall,
before packing up and leaving I'm stuck in a junction with 24 ways,
how stupid of me to ignore the fact that I'm facing my weird life and future,
but still I've got a big smile on my face.
I guess nothing will change or turn off the switch in my head
nothing will make me to become what you became,
nothing is right and nothing is wrong,
you live your life now let me live mine.
And now I've got a big answer to all my friends,
who didn`t understand at all,
who didn`t get my way of living
this isn't something you learn at school
this is not a fucking pose
it is something that comes from inside
yeah something that I can call my life.
