Apologies for the unreadable scrolling neon green puke-athon you are about to watch... I was quite angry when I made it, DKs'll do that to you.
Was inspired by these efforts to draw attention to the lyrics of Mr. Biafra - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBa6YMs-AbY&feature=channel_page

I go to college
That makes me so cool
I live in a dorm
And show off by the pool

I join the right clubs
Just to build an impression
I block out thinking
It won't get me ahead

My ambition in life
Is to look good on paper
All I want is a slot
In some big corporation

John Belushi's my hero
I lampoon and I ape him
My news of the world
Comes from Sports Illustrated

I'm proud of my trophies
Like my empty beer cans
Stacked in rows up the wall
To impress all my friends

No, I'm not here to learn
I just want to get drunk
And major in business
And be taught how to fuck

Win! Win!
I always play to win
Wanna fit in like a cog
In the faceless machine

I'm a terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal terminal
terminal terminal terminal terminal

I want a wife with tits
Who just smiles all the time
In my centerfold world
Filled with Springsteen and wine

Some day I'll have power
Some day I'll have boats
A tract in some suburb
With Thanksgivings to host

I'm a terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal preppie

  • You pulled off the angry bit pretty well :P

  • gore thread

  • @misterbilbotbaggins ... You are joking right? OWS are poor people who have been fucked by the system, this song is about the people who take advantage of the system and live like kings. You are wrong. Jello was at occupy SF for Christ's sake.

  • Oh yeah Jello you da man!

  • This song is about YOU, OWS people. Stupid whiteys.

  • This band changed my life when I was 17. At 41 I never forget the gift they gave me. Not accepting the bullshit!

  • @rumpraisin what "American Dream" it's all a fucking LIE

  • These brats don't believe in the American dream. Who are we foreigners to believe in? These brats or the American dream?

  • @MrMtrocco

    I recently (2011) went to a DK show --the "backing musicians" with a different singer-- and had a great time. Afterwards, I met them all and told them I always thought they were fantastic musicians and I was thrilled to get to see them play. I love the DK records for the surreal political lyrics, but that is only part of the pie --HOWEVER YOU SLICE IT THIS IS A GREAT AMERICAN ROCK BAND!!!!

  • The backing musicians in this band never really got their due. This is some tightly-wound, aggressive music!
