Answer That And Stay Fashionable

Answer That And Stay Fashionable-(1995)

"Two Of A Kind"

Hangin' out and lingerin' around, cause you know where I'll be found and I don't know how you do it. This obsession I must admit has shaken me up a bit. My solidarity now only comes in pairs. I'd like to see you before you see me. I'd like to see you. I'd like to see you leave. Showered by torrential praise, why it is I can't explain. Attempts to leave yield no avail. For me I don't know what's in store. All I want is nothing more. I don't deserve what I get, I have nothing to return. I'd like to see you before you see me. I'd like to see you. I'd like to see you leave. I'd like to see you before you see me. I'd like to see you. I'd like to see you leave.

"Half Empty Bottle"

The ends don't always justify the means, but I know what it takes to get what I need, I've got the cure when passive protest just won't do...just flick my Bic as I hold it to the fuse. Smash it up. Break it down. Bring it down, down to the ground. Tear it up. Burn it down. Burn it down, down to the ground. How long have we waited for the day when they tighten their grips and we slip away? The sound of breaking glass drives me back up. It makes me whole, when I've been down on my luck.

"Yurf Rendernmein"

You keep on sayin' that you want to know me but you never show me your true self. How can you ever expect someone else to know you when all you're going to do is just pretend you're someone else? You keep on sayin' that you want to show me that you're really different, but you're just the same. If you're really mindless, then there is no way that I can win, maybe you're just one of them, or maybe it's just a game. You lie to yourself and remain alone. I'm not exactly sure of your motivation. I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do. All I'm really sure is that you're not too impressive and you're wearing a mask that I can't see through. Maybe you're not looking for acceptance, maybe you're striving for something more. If it's status that you lust then why try to be one of us? You're someone we'll never trust 'cause we know the score.

"I Wanna Get A Mohawk (But Mom Won't Let Me Get One)"

I may be ten years old but I still know what's up. I wear my Cramps shirt almost every single day. I want to sag my pants. I want to pogo dance, but Mom won't let me so I might just run away. I wanna ride my skate. I wanna stay out late. I wanna mohawk but mom won't let me get one. I wanna go to shows. Don't wanna pierce my nose. I wanna get a mohawk but mom won't let me get one. I may be in fourth grade, but I know what's going on. I listen to the Misfits almost every single day. Don't want to take a nap, I want a TV tat, but Mom won't let me so I might just disobey

"Brownie Bottom Sundae"

Into the dark is where you're draggin me and into your dark is where I never want to be. I know I'm not alone and I really want to leave. Into the dark is where you want to watch me bleed. I'm feeling kinda trapped, I gotta go. I'm feelin' kinda trapped don't you know. I'm feelin kinda trapped I gotta go. I gotta go. I'm being dragged down, for how long, I don't know. I'm being dragged down and I rise up way too slow. I know I don't belong here and I think I ought to go. I hope that I can leave here, leave here with my soul.

"The Checkered Demon"

Too much to find, so much so little time. So many images persist to shade my mind. Will I ever come around or will I just hit the ground? Will I still be standing when it all comes down? Why can't I seem to sort it out? Why am I always filled with doubt So many people everywhere, so self-absorbed without a care of their viral lves. I'd like to bleed them all, when all is drained who shall hold? When mindless bodies screw tortured souls, will somebody be there to catch me when I fall? Why can't I seem to sort it out. Why am I always filled with doubt. How could I always be so blind? Why can't I figure it out? I could always hope for change, could always hope to rearrange. But why not just abandon hope and tear it all apart, now?

"Cereal Wars"

Get up early in the morning, going to the store. Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war. Fucking store never has the monsters and they never get more. Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war. I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom in the box. I'll try some cocoa puffs today who the fuck is Sonny anyway? Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more marshmallows than the rest. There's not a lot of cocoa in Cocoa Krispies, and always stay away from Wheaties. Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store. I had some Erkles, liked 'em a lot. It's the cereal war. I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes, and then I could try Sugar Bombs. The soggies will never get Cap'n Crunch, I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch. Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only kind I'll eat. Give me sugar, not nuts and twigs! Do I look like a fuckin' squirrel to you?

"The Mother In Me"

Caught in a world that's plagued by something they call love. A paradigm of illness is the beast I have become. The sights that I have seen could nearly bring me to my knees. I've seen exactlty what it is I never want to be, But I keep it deep inside myself. It's within me. Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me. Last night I had the misfortune to see it all first hand. "Evacuate the premises" was the innate first command. What drives the need for all of this? And will I ever understand? Has someone failed to tell me of this master plan? But I keep it deep inside myself. It's within me. Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me.
