Lyrics:
1. "Anxious Mo-Fo" (D. Boon, Mike Watt) -- 1:19
serious as a heart attack
makes me feel this way
no device to measure
no words can define
I mean what I'm trying to say is how can I express -- let alone possess?
serious as a heart attack
makes me feel this way
2. "Theatre Is the Life of You" (Boon, Watt) -- 1:30
as the revolution cries
"the time is near!"
i could feel my bones
i could see with my eyes
can't avoid it
can't agree
as the revolution cries
"the time is near!"
senses loose in knots
my logic is my style
can't avoid it
must make a stand
3. "Viet Nam" (Boon) -- 1:27
let's say i got a number
that number's fifty thousand
that's ten percent
of five hundred thousand
oh here we are
in french indochina
executive order
congressional decision
the working masses
are manipulated
was this our policy?
ten long years
not one domino shall fall
4. "Cohesion" (Boon) -- 1:55
beauteous instrumental
5. "It's Expected I'm Gone" (Watt) -- 2:04
I don't want to hurt
see my position was here
I mean
as it was
I was
so, this led to the downfall of man
you make
seconds
feel like
hours
I make
certain
my head
is separate from
my body
no hope?
see, that gives me guts
big fucking shit!
right now,
man
6. "#1 Hit Song" (Boon, George Hurley) -- 1:47
On the back of a winged horse,
Through the sky of pearly grey.
Love is leaf-like.
You and me, baby.
Twinkle, Twinkle,
Blah, blah, blah
E.
T.
C.
7. "Two Beads at the End" (Boon, Hurley) -- 1:52
caught by a camera taken at shutter speed my neck's in a knot (two beads at the end) bolt cutters close
my head rolls again trapped in your snare, voices fly at me
snap like a tiger strikes like a snake- feel like a poker in someone's fireplace
8. "Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth?" (Watt) -- 1:49
a word war
will set off the keg
my words are war!
should a word have two meanings?
what the fuck for?
should words serve the truth?
I stand for language
I speak for truth
I shout for history
I am a cess-pool
for all the shit
to run down in...
9. "Don't Look Now" (John Fogerty) -- 1:46
Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me.
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plough?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me.
Don't look now, someone's done your starvin';
Don't look now, someone's done your prayin'
Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me.
10. "Shit From an Old Notebook" (Boon, Watt) -- 1:35
let the products sell themselves
fuck advertising commercial psychology
psychological methods to sell should be destroyed
because of their own blind involvement
in their own conditioned minds
the unit bonded together
morals ideals awareness progress
let yourself be heard
11. "Nature Without Man" (Chuck Dukowski, Boon) -- 1:45
the boundary, the border of right and wrong the tariff is self the freedom feeling the criminal
the pied piper, the heart and mind
the pied piper, the heart and mind
nature without man
nature without man
12. "One Reporter's Opinion" (Watt) -- 1:50
what can be romantic to mike watt?
he's only a skeleton
his body is a series of points
with no height, length, or width
in his joints he feels life
his strongest connection
beteen yelling and sleep
pain is the toughest riddle
he's chalk
he's a dartboard
his sex is disease
he's a stop sign
