WHO DO YOU THINK WE ARE?

Who do you think we are?
I'm machinery with a semi-automatic heart
I'm unclassified, I terminate, I tear apart
I'm always there when you think I'm not
I'm razor sharp and I'm white and hot
My finger squeezes out the final shot
Say goodbye
No integrity, no contemplating soul or thought
I'm insanity, I'm a camouflaged work of art
I've done some things I really can't describe
I've made some mouths open pretty wide
And I am licensed-trained and bona fide
Say goodbye
Who do you think we are?
Special forces in an armoured car
Who do you think we are?
We don't care, we don't care
I'm carnivorous, can't count the flesh that I've been through
Never sick of this, I'm red and white and black and blue
I'm always there when you think I'm not
I'm razor sharp and I'm white and hot
My finger squeezes out the final shot
Say goodbye
Who do you think we are?
Special forces in an armoured car
Who do you think we are?
We don't care, we don't care
Who do you think we are?
Who do you think we are?
We don't care
Who do you think we are?
Who do you think we are?
We just don't care
Who do you think we are?
Who do you think we are?
No, no, no, we just don't care
Who do you think we are?
We don't care
Who do you think we are?...



SEVEN & SEVEN IS

Yeah, ooom ooom
When I was a boy, I thought that someday I would be a man
I'd sit inside the fireplace, pretend that I was in a can
Go inside my room and put my mind in an ice cream cone
And you can throw me if you want, but I'm a ball and I go
Ooom, biff biff
Ooom, biff biff
Yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Now if I don't stop crying, it because that I have got no eyes
My clock lies in the fireplace, my dog lies hypnotized
And then there was the time I wasn't able to find my way
And I'm trapped inside a night without a day and I go
Ooom, biff biff
Ooom, biff biff
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, ooom, ooom
Now when I was a boy, I thought that someday I would be a man
I'd sit inside the fireplace, pretend that I was in a can
Go inside my room and put my mind in an ice cream cone
Now you can throw me if you want cause I'm a ball and I go
Ooom, biff biff
Ooom, biff biff
Yeah
Ooom, biff biff
Ooom, biff biff
Yeah...



PRETTIEST COP ON THE BLOCK

I'm 6 foot 3 with a fist like a hammer
And I work with the vice squad when I can
Aw, when I pull out my bat they forget all my glamour
Little guys all surprised take a seat
For me, it's a first, I'm a man
I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I'm cool and I'm so mean
I'm one of the prettiest cops on the block
I've handcuffed your desire
I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock
My kids are confused and my wife is in shock
I'm a full blooded man, not a weak immitation
I like to flex my arms in the neon lights
I'm a queen on the street and a king at the station
It's a secret of mine, not a sign I'm gonna make that right
Because I'm
The prettiest cop on the block
I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I'm cool and I'm so mean
I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I've handcuffed your desire
I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock
My kids are confused and my wife is in shock
I must look pretty shocking in my bullet proof vest
With my black lace stockings, all this hair on my chest
When the boys see me coming, all the boys start to run
They all got their great big holsters and I got the only gun
Because I'm
The prettiest cop on the block
I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I'm cold and I'm so mean
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I've handcuffed your desires
I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock
My kids are confused and my wife is in shock
The prettiest cop on the block
I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
And I'm cool, so mean
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I've handcuffed your desires
I'm so pretty
I'm so pretty
So pretty
Yes, I'm gorgeous
I'm really lovely
And I'm so mean
So mean



DON'T TALK OLD TO ME

Don't tell me I should, I better, I can
Don't talk old to me
Don't shake that finger in my face no more
Cause I might bite it off and spit it on the floor
Better get secure, get my life insured
Buy a house and car that runs
Better sell my bike, my leather coats
Those city auto parts and all my guns
Don't talk old to me
Don't talk so old to me
Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight
Don't tell me I should, I better, I can
Don't talk old to me
Don't shake that finger in my face no more
Cause I might bite it off and spit it on the floor
Don't talk old to me
Don't talk so old to me
Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight
Don't talk old to me
Kill me psychologically
Don't talk old to me tonight
Don't bark and I won't bite
Won't bite
Aw, don't you bark
Better get secure, get my life insured
Buy a house and car that runs
Better sell my bike, my leather coats
City auto parts and my guns
No fun, no fun
No fun, no fun, no fun, no fun, fun, fun
Now, don't talk old to me
Don't talk so old to me
Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight
Now, don't talk old to me
Feed me psychologically
Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight
Let the best come upon us, say please
Don't you so talk old
Don't talk old to me tonight
Are you deaf?
Are you deaf?
I'm not gonna say it no more
No, no, no
Don't talk old no more
Don't talk old
Don't talk old
No...



GENERATION LANDSLIDE '81

Please clean your plate dear, the lord above can see ya
Don't you know people are starving in Korea?
Alcohol and razor blades and boys into needles
Kindergarten people, they used 'em, they need 'em
The over indulgent machines were their children
And there wasn't a way down on earth here to cool 'em
Cause they look just like humans at Kresge's and Woolworths
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in batallions were ruling the streets scene
Generation landslide, close the gap between them
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived those billion dollar babies
Ladadadada
Militant mothers hiding in the basement
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets
Molotov top milk bottles heaved from pink highchairs
While mothers' lib burned birth certificate papers
And dad gets his allowance from his sonny, the dealer
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance
Sister's out till 5, doing banker son's hours
But she owns a Mazarotti that's a gift from his father
Stop at full speed, at 100 miles per hour
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived those billion dollar babies
Ladadadada
No one gives an oink about prom night or football
Cause just getting home from school safe is a gamble and a blessing
Girlsies play with girlsies and boysies with boysies
Bored with one another, like old broken Christmas toysies
Kids are all hot, give me parents so are noisy
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived those billion dollar babies



SKELETONS IN MY CLOSET

Whoa, whoa
Skeletons in my closet
Whoa, whoa-whoa, yeah
Skeletons in my closet
Skeletons in my closet
Skeletons in my shoes
Skeletons I can only see
Skeletons I can lose
I said whoa, whoa
I got skeletons in my closet
I said whoa, oh-whoa, yeah
Skeletons in my closet
Skeletons in my basement
Loitering on my street
Wearing my best pyjamas
Sandwiched between my sheets
I said whoa, whoa-whoa, yeah
Skeletons in my closet
I said whoa, whoa-whoa, yeah
Skeletons in my closet
Ooh, I see bones, I see bones, icy bones
Ooh, I see bones, say say bones
Say boys, don't you see them bones?
Rattle them bones at midnight
Shaking my bed, no sleep
I find fingers in my coat pocket
Skeletons from the deep
I said whoa, whoa
I got skeletons in my closet
I said whoa, whoa-whoa
I got skeletons in my closet
Ooh, I see bones
I see bones, see bones
Ooh, I see bones, icy bones
Say boys, don't you see them bones?
No?
Heart bones, leg bones, ankle bones, arm bones
Finger bones, doggie bones, head bones
Skeletons in my closet
They even know when I'm in my closet
It's my, my closet, not your closet
My closet
You can help me though
Alice, we want you, Alice
Alice, Alice, Alice
What?
Whaddya want?

YOU LOOK GOOD IN RAGS

Yeah-yeah
Yeah
I've seen cool, I've seen cold
I've seen the women up front and way down below
Ladies of the evening sweet and some were like vipers
I've seen 'em dressed real tight, act real loose
I've seen 'em strutting good stuff, I've seen 'em all used
Thousand dollar faces and worth every penny they spent there
But you look good in rags
With dirt in your hair
Yeah, you look good in rags, babe
Oh, I don't care
Ahh, you look good
Yes, you look good in rags
With buns in your hair
Ahh, you look good in anything
Ooh, I don't care
Now, I've seen class, I've seen tact
I've seen 'em walking down the street with smoke in their stacks
And pouring into limos, they wake up in millionaires' bedrooms
I've seen the hair cut short, black and sleek
Tied in 20 thousand knots, so ultra neat
Swearing by the Harcos bazaar, I'll get through the Bible
But you look good in rags
With dirt in your hair
Yeah, you look good in rags, babe
Ahh, I don't care
Yeah-yeah, you look good in
Oh, you look good in rags
With dirt in your hair
Ah yeah, you look good in anything
Forget about vogue
Golden 100 dollar jeans
You make a 2 dollar t-shirt obscene
Rag...
Rags...



YOU'RE A MOVIE

I fearlessly walk into battle
With a shine on my boots and my teeth
Never flinch, never blink, never rattle
My blood is like ice underneath
Oh, I'm the reincarnation of Patten
And I've got Hannibal's heart in my chest
God told me I would have rivalled
Alexander the Great at his best
(You're a movie)
Quite
(You're a movie)
Yes
(The exception)
That's right
(You're the final kind)
(You're a movie)
More than ethically
(Please include me, send us to the line)
Mmmm, that's right
Very good
Bullets repel off my metals
And my men are in awe when I speak
All chaos, my strategies settles
My mere presence gives strength to the weak
For me, it seems really alarming
I'm really just only a man
With five million sheep in this army
I seem to be the only one fit to command
(You're a movie)
I'm quite aware
(You're a movie)
Yes
(The exception)
Oh, you'd noticed
(You're the final kind)
(You're a movie)
Hey, very true
(Please include me, send us to the line)
Mmmm, if you're lucky
I must go now and save the world
Move aside mere drop of water, let the ocean pass
(You're a movie)
Quite right
(You're a movie)
(The exception)
(You're the final kind)
(You're a movie)
(Please include me)
Mmm hmm
(Please include me)
(Please include me)
Possibly
(Send us to the lines)
Good man
(Send us to the lines)
I'll be at the front, please
(Front of the lines)
Oh, alright
Follow me
Another day, another victory
Another gold stripe, another star
Really quite boring sometimes
I wish they'd send someone equal to my strategies
What a guy
I'm really quite a guy
Movie...



VICIOUS RUMOURS

You feel the knife stuck in your back
You feel it twist and you hear it crack
Can't make a sound for the sudden pain
You wish your blood were Novocaine
You see the smoke and you feel the flack
You're burning up and you're turning black
They say you fell and you hit your head
Your other bun is Whitenbread
Vicious rumours, paranoic fears
Sonic boomers ringing in your ears
All of this is getting normal now
You'll never go back to your farm and plough
Vicious rumours
You're right at home back at William's flat
You heard a sound, you turned and shot your cat
Your hands are shaking, everybody sees
And there's a rhythm drumming in your knees
And you return into a foreign night
Inside, you know something is just not right
Sometimes you duck when you see your pet
Canary turned into a Sabre jet
Shocked consumer, you're just an average guy
Swelling tumor pushing on your eye
And now you know why all the headaches come
And why you're getting progressively numb
Vicious rumours
I've been denied, debriefed, detuned
Sometimes I howl right at the moon
My family treats me gradually
They know my volatility
Vicious rumours, paranoic fears
Sonic boomers ringing in my ears
And now I know why all the headaches come
And why you're getting progressively numb
Ooh, vicious rumours
Vicious rumours...
Who do you think we are...
We don't care



LOOK AT YOU OVER THERE, RIPPING THE SAWDUST FROM MY TEDDYBEAR

You got your crust
Turning my daydreams into dust
Oh, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
Yeah, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
You're so darn pretty, girl
Well I think you know it too
On Monday morning, put back, yakity yak
Oh, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
Yeah now, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
You take the pebbles from the babies rattle
You make Santa's reindeer look like cattle
You take Tinkerbell's rust and turn it into sawdust
Yeah now, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
Yeah, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
You take the pebbles from the babies rattle
You make Santa's reindeer look like cattle
You take Tinkerbell's rust and turn it into sawdust
You got your crust
Turning my daydreams into dust
Yeah now, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
Yeah now, look at you over there
Ripping the sawdust from my teddybear
Look at you over there
Look at you over there...
Over there, over there, over there, over there
My poor teddybear, teddybear, teddybear, teddybear
