In a future time
Children will work together
To build a giant cyborg

Wave the flags that the robots made

Robots obey what the children say

There's electric cars
There's electric trains
Here comes a robot with electric brains

"Robot Parade (Adult Version)"

"Robot Parade (Adult Version)"


[Rather than the slow, melodic and dreamy version, this so-called adult version is a hard rocking, almost scary sounding mix of noise and guitar riffs. Concert renditions of the adult version have switched the places of children and robots in the "robots obey what the children say" line.]

In a future time
Children will work together
To build a giant cyborg

we love all the people
and we love to rock the house
no one knows we're coming
so no one's coming out
to this particular rock club
have we played this club before?
you see, I can't remember
if we've played this club before

put your hands together
get on your knees and pray
next time we come around here
we won't be comin' back this way
or to this particular rock club
is that really the P.A.
or just somebody's radio
left in the corner of the room?

R is for red
O is for orange
Y is for yellow
And G is for green
B is for blue
I for Indigo
And V is for violet
And that spells Roy G. Biv

Roy G. Biv is a colorful man
And he proudly stands at the rainbow's end (So you'll see him)
Roy G. Biv is a colorful man
And his name spells out the whole color spectrum (So you'll see him)

You'll never see a unicorn
But you'll see a rainbow
And inside every rainbow
Is the spectrum of light

You'll never see Roy G. Biv
But he's inside the rainbow
'Cause inside every rainbow
Is the spectrum of light

R is for red
O is for orange
Y is for yellow
And G is for green
B is for blue
I for Indigo
And V is for violet
And that spells Roy G. Biv

"S-E-X-X-Y"

"S-E-X-X-Y"


Dressed only in clothes
From her head to her toes
This is the way
The talking part goes

S-E-X-X-Y
More than enough
Around the clock with nobody else
S-E-X-X-Y

There she is
Standing on the bed
Cookie in one hand, wig on her head
S-E-X-X-Y

X because it's extra baby
Y because it's extra baby
Unnoticed by few
Very very few
And that includes you

Look inside your mind
Look inside your eye
Secret agent spy, come to see why
S-E-X-X-Y

One finger nail
Across your back
Baby's first gold tooth initials inscribed
S-E-X-X-Y

X because it's extra baby
Y because it's extra baby
You gotta understand
She wants to be your man
She's got another plan

"Santa Cruz (The Catalyst)"


[JF:] Hey. We're sorry we were away so long but we had to write this song.

[JL:] We--John, why don't we explain this--
We've been doing songs for each venues where we play in.
We make up a song for every venue.
As you can imagine, they're not all...you know, hit-bound.
I just wanted to say that.

[JF:] I don't think we have anything to apologize for. Except for this one.

[JL:] But this one! Is! This one is going to be, uh, you know,
I think Avril Lavigne has her mitts on this one.

[JF:] This one is kind of a collision of our art-fuck background and
The skateboard part of this town. Combined.

Somebody invented a gun that shoots flowers

But. It's. Not. As. Cool. As.

Aaah!

If you close your eyes Darth Vader is naked
If you close your eyes Darth Vader is naked
If you close your eyes Darth Vader is naked

But. It's. Not. As. Cool. As.

Aaah!

It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out
It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out
It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out
It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out
It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out
It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out
It doesn't cost anything to poke your eye out

Thank you.

"Santa's Beard"

"Santa's Beard"


Once a year my friend puts on a red suit
And hangs around with me and my wife
Now I can't help but feeling jealous each time she climbs on his knee
And she stands beneath the mistletoe screaming
For him to stand beneath the mistletoe screaming
Now I can't help but feeling jealous each time she climbs on his knee
Why must she climb on his knee?

I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
She kissed him once and whispered in his ear
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
I wish he would go
He's breaking up my home

She always had this twisted side to her*
But she'd never drag my name around town
But lately she's been humming cheating songs
And I don't like that fat guy around
No, I don't like that fat guy around

I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
She kissed him once and whispered in his ear
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
I wish he would go
He's breaking up my home

I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
Thrilling Christmas, trembling fear
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
I wish he would go
He's breaking up my home

"Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love"


Pistol shots
Gun shots
Pistol shots
Gun shots

Bullets from a revolver
Bullets from a gun
Bullets through the atmosphere
Here they come

John, I've been bad
And they're coming after me
Done someone wrong
And I fear that it was me

Sapphire bullets
Bullets of pure love

Sapphire bullets
Bullets of pure love

"Say Nice Things About Detroit"

"Say Nice Things About Detroit"


I always was the one to leave
I had no rehearsal for this role reversal
Say nice things about Detroit
The way you left you were a big big jerk
There I was anticipating
Some kind of love I’m still waiting
It’s like it was just last week
I tell myself but it wasn’t
Dressing up and making plans
I’m so bad at staying friends
Say something nice. say it again
I’d never known a libertine but you sure were thirsty
Then it gets all murky
Say nice things about Detroit
Remember standing in the doorway
Private words and holding hands
Can’t you pretend to pretend?
Say nice things about Detroit
The way you left you were a big big jerk
There I was anticipating some kind of love
I’m still waiting
Say something nice. say it again
