SKUDS SONGBOOK


I'D RATHER THROW UP THAN GROW UP

I'd rather throw up than grow up
Than to be like you
I'd rather hold my breath
Till I turn blue, turn blue!
I'd rather throw up than grow up
Then live in society
And raise stupid fuckers
Who would be like me, just like me

Responsibility, it ain't for me
So why in the hell won't you let me be?

I've seen people drivin' Cadillacs
They drive those cars to little shacks, little shacks
I eat pork and beans, and I fart real bad
Responsibility makes me sad, makes me sad

I'd rather throw up than grow up
Than to have a job
I'd rather throw up than grow up
Yeah, I'm just a slob



SURFIN' PUBLIC POOLS (U.S.A.)

Got by board, goin' downtown
Going' where the kids are hangin' around
Goin' surfin', gonna have some fun
You might think I'm a stupid fool
But I like surfin' in public pools U.S.A.

Cement beaches are my kinda sand
Surfin' in pools makes me feel like a man
Surfin' in pools with my dick in my hand
You might think I'm a stupid fool
But I like surfin' in public pools U.S.A.

Ooh whop shoo whop, Ooh whop shoo whop
U.S.A., U.S.A



JOHNNY GAY COWBOY

Yippy Ki Yie Yie Yippy Yippy Kie Yie Yay (repeat)
Johnny moved to Dallas
Bought his first pair of boots
Bought a Smith & Wesson
And he learned how to shoot

Hung out at The City Lights
Where he dressed in drag
Johnny was a cowboy
And he was a fag

Shot a man on Main
In the heart of downtown
Wanted to go to prison
Where he knew the men were around

And now he's happy
Gettin' fucked in his cell
But you know Johnny
You're gonna go to hell

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
Johnny, Johnny Gay Cowboy (x2)



PICTURE IN THE PAPER

(in response to a Dallas newspaper article about
the local punk rock scene by Doug Bedel)

Well it pisses me off when people tell me
I'm getting famous, a celebrity
Ain't no star, don't wanna be
So stick it up your ass and let me be

(chorus)
'Cause I'm no better than you
You're no better than me
'Cause I'm no better than you
You're no better than me, motherfucker

So I play rock & roll
Beats being bored, at least I think so
I don't mind being friends
Call me anytime, don't treat me like a star
'Cause that would be a crime



TO YOU FROM YOUR SWEETHEART


When you get excited and your head starts to hurt
You wanna grab a girl and lift up her skirt
Your body is contaminated
Don't know what it could be
Just stay away from us
Don't you give it to me

(chorus)
It's that dreaded disease, oh no!
It'll tear you apart
It's that dreaded disease, oh no!
To you from your sweetheart - that bitch

Your body is nothin'
It's just fallin' apart
You're livin' in the Twilite Zone
There lies your heart
You have an odor
I mean you really stink
Your brain is uncontrollable
You can't even think

(chorus)

They're putting you away
They're leaving you for dead
But just live a bit longer
So they can study your health
We had to tell your wife
"It's gonna happen to you",
but when we went to see her
(ha! ha!) She had it, too



MILITANT FORCE

It's finally here 1980
And you're standin' round lookin' dumb
Thinkin' about 1969 wonderin'
If the Beatles are ever gonna come
No more time for peace
Time to get off your ass and fight

(chorus)
We're a militant force
We want to control your minds
We're a militant force
We won't be left behind motherfuckers

Give us your minds to use for tools
And don't even ask what for
Soon we'll control the radio
Then we'll go for much more
Tired of being used for pawns
By the government corporations
Gonna use all the people to
Work out our frustrations



WE DO WHAT WE WANT

We're young but not forever
Some say we're crazy
But I know better
We do what we want
We're sick of your rules
Do what we want
Don't go to your schools

We do what we want
We're sick of the system
Do what we want
And we don't gotta listen

We're young but not forever
Some say we're crazy
But I know better
We do what we want
Don't have to listen to you
We do what we want
Why don't you go get screwed
We do what we want
What we think is right
We do what we want
And we're gonna fight



BATTLEZONE

Battlezone in the streets
Change is in the air
The people are feelin' the heat
They know we're everywhere
The government knows
Free minds are a threat
Revolution's comin' down
So you better get set

(chorus)
Sick of the old ways
Want our own way
Give us a place to play

Underground in the streets
There's a new sound in this town
The punks are poundin' the beat
And the hippies are comin' around
The radio hates it
Then we call 'em on the phone
They better realize
We'll never leave 'em alone

I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick
Sick of the old way
I'm sick of your bullshit
It's our fucking turn



CONFUSED

It's Friday night
And I'm lookin' for some fun
That girl right there
Looks like she's the one
You know you want it, bitch
You want it real bad
If you don't get some dick
You'll get real real mad

Think you're cool
Real real slick
Come to me, honey
And I'll give you some dick
You're a nympho, baby
You can't be satisfied
You had incest with your daddy
Till the day he died

(chorus)
It was suicide that got you out
Suicide that got your out
It was suicide that got you out
Got you out, got you out, got you out

Your mother was a hooker
Down on Lost Avenue
Aunt Rose was a faggot
Went to bed with you
You're gonna choose a mark
But you won't admit
When she tied you to the bed
You really like that shit



NEW WAY

Hey people
What's wrong with you?
Get off your ass
You've got something to do
Change is comin'
Don't let it pass you by
Don't get a second chance
Before you die

New way (x4)
It's a new way
It's a new sound
It's a new day
For the underground



GRACE SLICK

Grace Slick
Eats dick
Does it quick
She's no hick



SHOW US YOUR TITTIES (LET'S ROCK)
Show us your titties
Let's rock
(repeat until titties are shown -- regardless of time)



I DON'T LIKE YOU
I donšt like you
(pick someone out and repeat title until they
are really pissed off -- regardless of time)



TWILITE ZONE


I wake up to find this place I've never seen
Have I lost my mind, or could it be a dream?
Well, the TV told me someday I'll be alone
To wander scared and helpess in the Twilite Zone



HELP ME I'M DEAD

Lyin' here limp
And my blood runs red
Killed by a wimp
Help me, I'm dead

Called him a wimp
And he got real mad
I didn't spot the ax
That he had

Lyin' in a puddle
And my blood runs red
My soul's been sold
Help me, I'm dead

Lyin' in the gutter
My blood runs red
Killed by a wimp
Help me, I'm dead



I DON'T WANT IT AROUND (partial lyrics)

When I'm poundin' the beat
You know my head wants to shout
When I'm poundin' the beat
I don't want it around

I don't want it around
He don't want it around
Take it to the lost & found
I don't want you around
Well I'm gonna hang out
Cause you're just hanging around
If you try to look me up
Well, I'll knock you down
