TAKIN
A RIDE
Stay right there, go no further
Don't get a doctor, don't get my mother
It's too far to walk, gotta decide
Turn around, we're takin' a ride
So take another pill from your purse
Take a little ride in a hearse
We're takin a ride
We're takin a ride
We're takin a ride
Going real fast, hanging out the window
Drinking in the back seat, half the bottle/at full throttle
The light was green, so was I
The radio's blasting, turn that shit off
90 miles an hour, slidin' on grease
I got my doubts we'll make it in one piece
Just takin a ride
We're takin a ride
We're takin a ride
Stay right there, go no further
Don't get a doctor, don't get your mother
Out of the car, your hands on the hood
Takin a ride but it's doin' no good
CARELESS
Yeah
Irresponsibility's my closest friend
Forget my duty I couldn't give a shit (obliation)
Tell my about the city ordinance
Tell me that we're insubordinate
Plan tomorrow, money to borrow
I couldn't care less, care less
Couldn't care less, care less
I'm careless, careless
And that's the way I stay
I never pay attention, watch my step
Never pay my bills, way in debt
Tell my about the fuckin' ordinance
Tell me that we're insubordinate
Plan tomorrow, money to borrow
I couldn't care less, care less
Couldn't care less, care less
So careless, careless
Yeah that's the way I stay
Stay
Careless, careless ....
Yeah careless is the way I'll stay
CUSTOMER
Tape's rolling......O.K.
(I'm in love with the girl who works at the store
where I'm nothing but a ...)
Customer
I'm a customer
I'm a customer
I'm a customer
How about cigarettes?
I'll take sugarless
You sell Wondermint?
I'm a customer

I'm a customer
Yeah, can I get change?
Where're the twinkies?
What's on sale?
I'm a customer
I'm a customer
I'm a customer
I love you
HANGIN'
DOWNTOWN
I remember...ready?
Well it gets about three, everything is swell
C'mon down, c'mon what the hell
I know a better TV, there ain't a whole lot to see
When you're hangin' downtown
Wait, date, no I can't go
I gotta stick around, watch my show
I know it's better than the TV, and there's a whole lot
to see
When you're hangin' downtown
Bus stop, pimps and whores
Liquor stores, Seventh Street, Sixth street
Bus stop, bus stop, bus stop, bus stop, bus stop
Anyway, I ain't got no place else to go
Bus stop, bus stop, bus stop, bus stop
It's about three, everything is swell
Downtown, c'mon what the hell
I know it's better than TV, ain't a whole lot to see
When you're hangin' downtown
Everybody hangin' downtown
Hangin' downtown
Downtown
KICK YOUR DOOR DOWN
1,2,3,4
Your radio is playing rather loud
It don't sound like me
Your attitude seems so proud
That don't bother me
I'm gonna keep on knocking
Gonna keep on pounding
I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound
I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound
I'm gonna kick your door down
Gonna kick your door down
I wonder what goes on
Behind closed doors
I'm waiting outside your door
Don't enter more
OTTO
Everybody gotta go Otto, Otto
Everybody gotta go Otto-to
Everybody wants to know Otto, Otto
Everybody wants to know Otto-to
Tried to come over here
Thought I might give her, give her a call
Tried to phone my baby, give her a call
But Otto, he went crazy
He ripped the phone right off the wall
I BOUGHT A HEADACHE
And all I needed was just a breath of fresh air
I want a, I want a folding chair
St. Paul Civic Center
Giving me a 8 dollar and 50 cent
I bought a headache
I bought a headache
Headache
Smoking marijuana and it's comin' out of my ears
A long haired girl shakin' way past her years
So come on, c'mon
So come on, c'mon
Allright, thank you, everybody feel alright? everybody happy?
RATTLESNAKE
Cruisin' on my belly all night long, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, you got a rattlesnake I'm a rattlesnake
I
HATE MUSIC
Oh, no...O.K..tape's rolling...so what
I hate music
Sometimes I don't
I hate music
It's got too many notes
I hate my high school
Sometimes I went
I hate music, man
Never heaven sent
Tommy says so
Tommy says so
Tommy says so
Tommy says so so so so what
I hate my father
One day I won't
I hate my father
Just get off my back
I hate music
It's got too many notes
Are you listening?
So
Tommy says so
Tommy says so
Tommy says so
I hate music
Sometimes I don't
I hate my father
One day I won't
I hate music
Turnin' me on
I hate music
JOHNNY'S
GONNA DIE
Johnny always takes more than he needs
Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads
Johnny always needs more than he takes
Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks
And everybody tells me Johnny is hot
Johnny needs something that he ain't got
And Johnny's gonna die
Johnny's gonna die
Johnny's gonna die
Everybody stares and everybody hoots
Johnny always needs more than he shoots
Standing by a beach and there ain't no lake
He's got friends without no guts, friends that never ache
In New York City, I guess it's cool when it's dark
There's one sure way Johnny you can leave your mark
SHIFTLESS WHEN IDLE
Everybody that's on my block
They're tired of me that ain't no shock
And I ain't got no idols
I ain't got much taste
I'm shiftless when I'm idle
I got time to waste
They tried to tell me that I should learn
They told me it's best I wait my turn
I can't wait forever
I can't wait that long
I'm shiftless when I'm idle
I want to play this ...
I'm shiftless when I'm idle
I'm shiftless when I'm idle
I'm shiftless
I'm shiftless
MORE
CIGARETTES
I don't watch the TV, I watch the clock
Party goin' up there on the block
The neighbors complain that they can hear
I smoke my cigarettes, drink my cola
I need more cigarettes
More cigarettes, I need
Everybody's waiting, sitting on a stool
Black leather jacket and she's oh so cool
Everybody's waiting, they better show
Chased out back all the way home
At six o'clock batten the hatches
We got cigarettes but ain't got no matches
I put some holes in my filter, holes in my head
I better ??? , I'm reading in bed
I need more cigarettes
Give me more cigarettes, I need
Gotta get more cigarettes
DON'T
ASK WHY
Really lost my good thing now
Really lost my good thing
You don't call, I don't cry
You don't call and I and
We know it's over now
We know it's over
The way I used to love her
That's the way I hate it now
The way I used to love ya
Well, don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't ask why
You're goin' out of my mind
I'm staying out of your
Way I used to love ya
That's the way I hate it now
You know the way I used to love ya
That's the way I hate it
Don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't don't don't ask why
Don't don't don't ask why
Way I used to love ya
That's the way I hate it now
You know the way I used to love ya
That's the way I hate it now
Don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't ask why

Said somethin to du
Somethin to Husker
Break the mould
