Another track from my favorite Oingo Boingo album, which is also their first full-length one.

What you see
Is what you get
Don't relax
You're not home yet

What you see
Is what you get
Don't relax
You're not home yet

Put your life into my hands
Look around; you'll understand
Put your life into my hands

It's the '80s, idiot! (idiot, idiot)
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
It's the '80s, little fool! (little fool, little fool)
Don't forget the golden rule...

What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
What the hell did you expect!? (you expect, you expect)

Pretty red roses?
Wet puppy noses?
Men with rubber hoses is more like it!

What you see
Is not always what you get
A lesson we must not forget
One never knows what to expect
So close your eyes and what you get
Is what you see and what you get

Open up your eyes and look around
Then close them tight and kiss the ground
You better be thankful you're alive
And how much longer can you survive
Underneath the mask there's something brewing
Underneath the ground there's something moving

It's the '80s, idiot! (idiot, idiot)
What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
It's the '80s, little fool! (little fool, little fool)
Don't forget the golden rule...

What you see is what you get! (what you get, what you get)
What the hell did you expect!? (you expect, you expect)

Pretty red roses?
Wet puppy noses?
Men with rubber hoses is more like it!

Patrolling the street with all of their friends!
Bashing you around, trying to make you like them!
What you see is what you get!

  • This is less popular song but it's one of my favorites.

  • I can't imagine why it isn't as popular, it is definitely one of the better songs on the album.
