TEENAGE LOBOTOMY

TEENAGE LOBOTOMY


Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum
Gonna get my PhD
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

THE CRUSHER

THE CRUSHER


Now I wanna wrestle in the garden
I'm on my way to stardom
I know I'm ready I know I'm great
But first I have to get in shape

Cause I've got my eyes on the Russian Bear
Gonna tear him up I swear
This guy thinks he's the champion
Gonna take his belt and beat him!

I'm the crusher king of the ring

I'm ready for a match with the Russian Bear
Gonna pile drive him pull his hair
I might have a foreign object in my trunks
I might have to use on that punk

Got the hardest hold you can put on anyone
If you're my victim you're beaten
I'm a lean mean fighting machine
Powerful and strong like King Kong

I'm the crusher king of the ring

Started having second thought I was scared as hell
The last thing I wanted was to hear them ring the bell
I mean the Russian Bear could probably
tear me limb from limb
He'd probably grin be real happy with himself
This is not good for my health
I'm not coming out of the dressing room
And get beaten up by that goon

Go back to Russia go back home!
Don't wanna get a broken bone
Or a lump on my head
Ain't gonna hide under the bed

I'm the crusher king of the ring

I'm the Crusher

THE JOB THAT ATE MY BRAIN

THE JOB THAT ATE MY BRAIN


Out of bed at 6:15 In a rush and you can't think
Gotta catch the bus and train
I'm in a rush and feelin' insane

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Go to work, it's such a drag
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie

I look so late I wanna die

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

I punch the clock at 9:05
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me
(I'm last in line for this party)

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Five o'clock rolls around
I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enough hours in the day
There's go to be a better way

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

THE RETURN OF JACKIE AND JUDY

THE RETURN OF JACKIE AND JUDY


Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk
Oh-yeah

Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York
Just to see the Ramones
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh I don't know why
We won't forget her, oh no

Jackie's playing hooky
Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school
Oh-yeah

Jackie's scalping tickets
Judy's getting harassed
They both got kicked outside
Didn't have a backstage pass
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
And oh, I don't know why,
Dont't know what's on her mind
I don't know, no, I don't know

But I can't stand to see her cryin'
She's still cryin', she ain't tryin'
She's going to get left behind
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME


There's a new sun Risin' up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice Sayin' "we're not afraid to die"
Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

There are changes Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

The future's comin' in, now Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long

There are new dreams Crowdin' out old realities
There's revolution Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb
(But) nothing can change the shape of things

To come

THIS AIN'T HAVANA

THIS AIN'T HAVANA


I had no advantage over you
There was troubles and I had'em too
Just 'cause you're so strung out
Don't mean it can't work out

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas

Say you're a victim of society
You ask them for your mercy
Just like the cats in the garbage cans
When's their time coming, man

You better offer some resistence
You better give up on my insistence
Things happen overnight
You don't give up without a fight

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas

You say you're poor and uneducated
You ain't gotta chance 'cause you're hated
You're on your way to life's promotion
You hinder it with emotion

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas

Love giving you
The run around
It really makes you crazy
Run around, run around
Love giving you
The run around

Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no oh no
On no ho

This business is killing me
And so they say
Hey, hey
You work, you work
You write all night
Until the early morning light

Can't please all the people

All the time
All the people
All the time
But then they don't
Please me

Well I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it no more

Run around, run around

Well I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it

TIME HAS COME TODAY

TIME HAS COME TODAY


Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today, hey

The room has changed today
I have no place to stay
I'm thinking about the subway
Mu love has blown away
My tears have come and gone
Oh'Lord I got to run
I got no home
No, I have no home

Now the time has come
Nowhere (place) to run
Might get burned up by the sun
But I'll have my fun
I've been loved, pushed (put) aside
I've been crushed by tumbling tide
And my soul has been psychedelicized

Now the time has come
There are things to realize
Time has come today
Time has come today
