Stars And Stripes Of Corruption By Dead Kennedys

Finally got to Washington in the middle of the night

I couldn't wait

I headed straight for the Capitol Mall

My heart began to pound

Yahoo! It really exists

The American International Pictures logo

I looked up at that Capitol Building

Couldn't help but wonder why

I felt like saying "Hello, old friend"

Walked up the hill to touch it

Then I unzipped my pants

And pissed on it when nobody was looking

Like a great eternal Klansman

With his two flashing red eyes

Turn around he's always watching

The Washington monument pricks the sky

With flags like pubic hair ringed 'round the bottom

The symbols of our heritage

Lit up proudly in the night

Somehow fits to see the homeless people

Passed out on the lawn

So this is where it happens

The power games and bribes

All lobbying for a piece of ass

Of the stars and stripes of corruption

Makes me feel so ashamed

To be an American

When we're too stuck up to learn from our mistakes

Trying to start another Viet Nam

Whilke fiddling while Rome burns at home

The Boss says, "You're laid off. Blame the Japanese"

"America's back," alright

At the game it plays the worst

Strip mining the world like a slave plantation

No wonder others hate us

And the Hitlers we handpick

To bleed their people dry

For our evil empire

The drug we're fed

To make us like it

Is God and country with a band

People we know who should know better

Howl, "America riles. Let's go to war!"

Business scams are what's worth dying for

Are the Soviets our worst enemy?

We're destroying ourselves instead

Who cares about our civil rights

As long as I get paid?

The blind Me-Generation

Doesn't care if life's a lie

so easily used, so proud to enforce

The stars and stripes of corruption

Let's bring it all down!

Tell me who's the real patriots

The Archie Bunker slobs waving flags?

Or the people with the guts to work

For some real change

Rednecks and bombs don't make us strong

We loot the world, yet we can't even feed ourselves

Our real test of strength is caring

Not the toys of war we sell the world

Just carry on, thankful to be farmed like worms

Old glory for a blanket

As you suck on your thumbs

Real freedom scares you

'Cos it means responsibility

So you chicken out and threaten me

Saying, "Love it or leave it"

I'll get beat up if I criticize it

You say you'll fight to the death

To save your worthless flag

If you want a banana republic that bad

Why don't you go move to one

But what can just one of us do?

Against all that money and power

Trying to crush us into roaches?

We don't destroy society in a day

Until we change ourselves first

From the inside out

We can start by not lying so much

And treating other people like dirt

It's easy not to base our lives

On how much we can scam

And you know

It feels good to lift that monkey off our backs

I'm thankful I live in a place

Where I can say the things I do

Without being taken out and shot

So I'm on guard against the goons

Trying to take my rights away

We've got to rise above the need for cops and laws

Let kids learn communication

Instead of schools pushing competition

How about more art and theater instead of sports?

People will always do drugs

Let's legalize them

Crime drops when the mob can't price them

Budget's in the red?

Let's tax religion

No one will do it for us

We'll just have to fix ourselves

Honesty ain't all that hard

Just put Rambo back inside your pants

Causing trouble for the system is much more fun

Thank you for the toilet paper

But your flag is meaningless to me

Look around, we're all people

Who needs countries anyway?

Our land, I love it too

I think I love it more than you

I care enough to fight

The stars and stripes of corruption

Let's bring it all down!

If we don't try

If we just lie

If we can't find

A way to do it better than this

Who will?

This is my favourite Tatu song.

МАЛЬЧИК-ГЕЙ

Мальчик-гей...

Смотришь нежно,

Ждешь его вниманья.

Чувства те же,

Но не понимаю

Сколько можно

Жить, любя, украдкой.

Очень сложно

Скрыть твои повадки,

Очень трудно

Скрыть мои страданья.

Очень, очень, очень, очень

Неприличное желанье.

Мальчик-гей, мальчик-гей

Будь со мной понаглей.

От стыда не красней,

Мальчик-гей,.мальчик-гей.

Положи на друзей,

Мальчик-гей, мальчик-гей.

От меня [ пип ],

Мальчик-гей-гей...

Слезы душат,

Мысли жить мешают.

Трудно слушать.

Нет, не понимаю.

Да, я знаю все твои секреты.

Как ты терпишь твердые предметы?

Все же знаю - это безнадежно,

Но мечтаю, таю-таю-таю-таю-таю-таю...

Мальчик-гей, мальчик-гей

Будь со мной понаглей.

От стыда не красней,

Мальчик-гей,.мальчик-гей.

Положи на друзей,

Мальчик-гей, мальчик-гей.

От меня [ пип ],

Мальчик-гей-гей...

Мальчик-гей, мальчик-гей

Будь со мной понаглей.

От стыда не красней,

Мальчик-гей,.мальчик-гей.

Положи на друзей,

Мальчик-гей, мальчик-гей.

От меня [ пип ],

Мальчик-гей-гей...

In our alphabet :

Mal'chik Gey (Gay boy)

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey

Mal'chik, Mal'chik, Mal'chik, Mal'chik Gey

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik

Mal'chik, Mal'chik, Mal'chik

Smotrish nezhno,

Zhdyosh ego vniman'ya.

Chuvstva te zhe,

No, ne ponimayu

Skol'ko mozhno

Zhit', lyubya, ukradkoi.

Ochen' slozhno

Skryt' tvoi povadki,

Ochen' trudno

Skryt' moi stradan'ya.

Ochen', ochen', ochen' ochen'

Neprilichnoe zhelan'e.

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey

Bud' so mnoi ponaglei.

Ot styda ne krasnei,

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey

Polozhi na druzei,

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey.

Ot menya , ****

Mal'chik Gey Gey'

Slyozy dushat',

Mysli zhit' meshayut.

Trudno slushat'.

Net, ne ponimayu.

Da, ya znayu vse tvoi sekrety.

Kak ty terpish tvyordye pridmety?

Vse zhe znayu, eto beznadyozhno,

No mechtayu, tayu'tayu'tayu'tayu'tayu'tayu...

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey

Bud' so mnoi ponaglei.

Ot styda ne krasnei,

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey

Polozhi na druzei,

Mal'chik Gey, Mal'chik Gey.

Ot menya , ****

Mal'chik Gey Gey'

Momus - "Ice King"

[ from the album "Tender Pervert" (1988) ]

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

This thing will blow sky high

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

I think I just might die

How could you know

I wanted you so

I acted cool so you couldn't see

For here deep inside

I so easily hide

Exactly what you mean to me

But it was so strange

When everything changed

Your answer took me by surprise

And now that we're lovers

You think you've discovered

How to make a cold man cry

You think you're kissing the ice king, dark thing

But I was always warm

I was yours for the asking, dark thing

I was hot for you all along

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

This thing will blow sky high

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

I think I just might die

I know you can't stand

An emotional man

And so I play for time

Keeping it light

In the hope that you might

One day maybe change your mind

Sometimes in bed

It enters my head

To tell you that my love is strong

But I don't say a word

When I notice how hard

You work to turn a cold man on

You think you're kissing the ice king, dark thing

But I was always warm

I was yours for the asking, dark thing

I was hot for you all along

You think you're kissing the ice king, dark thing

How wrong can a woman be?

If you knew the intensity of my feelings

How long would you stay with me?

You think you're kissing the i-i-i

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

I think I just might, I think I just might

I can hear Morrissey turning in his grave !

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

turning in his grave???

Don't you meaning, "seething in his multi-million dollar LA mansion"???

When did Moz die for you msf? He is still very much alive for me.

Oh, and "covering" Smiths songs should be against the law. it is a criminal offence in my mimd at least.

They had all that Dylan stuff on the tv last week, so I felt we should have some of good old Bob's words of wisdom:

"The times they are a-changing"-Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'.

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'.

And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'.

I was speaking metaphorically obviously.

"The Love Boat" by Paul Williams and Charles Fox

Love, exciting and new

Come Aboard. We're expecting you.

Love, life's sweetest reward.

Let it flow, it floats back to you.

Love Boat soon will be making another run

The Love Boat promises something for everyone

Set a course for adventure,

Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore

It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

Yes LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! (hey-ah!)

Love Boat soon will be making another run

The Love Boat promises something for everyone

Set a course for adventure,

Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore

It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's

LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!

It's the Love Boat-ah! It's the Love Boat-ah!
