Tipper, what's that sticker sticking on my CD?
Is that some kind of warning to protect me?
Freedom of choice needs a stronger, stronger voice.
You can stamp out the source, but you can't stop creative thoughts.

Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.

Ah, tipper come on, it's just a smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.

Hey, hey all you, all you senators wives,
Better take a good look at your own lives
Before you go preaching to me
Your definition of obscenity.

Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.

Ah, tipper come on, it's just a smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.

The irony it seems, it seems to me,
It's un-american policy.
Yeah, we've come so far but still only to find
People like you with ignorant minds.

Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.

Ah, tipper come on, it's just a smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.

The job that ate my brain

Out of the bed at 6:15
In a rush, I need caffeine
Gotta catch the bus and train
I'm in a rush, I feel insane

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Go to work, it's such a drag
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie
I look so lame I want to die

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

I punch the clock at 9:05
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me
I'm last in line for prosperity

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Five o'clock rolls around
I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enough hours in the day
There's go to be a better way

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Poison Heart

No one ever thought this one would survive.
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind.
Lock you in a dream, never let you go,
Never let you laugh or smile, not you.

I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.

Making friends with a homeless torn up man,
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay,
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.

I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.

You know that life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul.
So much damn confusion before my eyes,
but nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.

I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.

Anxiety

Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy.
Always stiff, all day long.
Nothing's right till it's all wrong.
It makes no sense until I'm tense.
Always laughing at your expense.

Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy.
Always biting on my nails.
Always stiff, it never fails.
Now I think I'll pick my nose,
Wipe it on my sweaty clothes.

Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy.
Always screamin' at someone.
Got a temper like a gun.
Hair trigger personality.
Anxiety keeps me hap-happy.

(bridge)

And I'm crazy, crazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy in a crazy world.

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Anxiety keeps me high,
Cross my heart and hope to die.
ANXIETY
ANXIETY

Strength To Endure

Walking through the cross fire heart
Feeling heavy and hopeless.
Wonderin' how I ever will
See through this darkness.
Every drop of blood
Can be so beautiful,
And I sure was bleedin'
The drops by the bucketful.

I have the strength to endure
And all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure
Because... because...

I'm not afraid to tell her
Just how things work.
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane.
Always looking over my shoulder.

She said, "There's something about you,
And neon lights always glow hot.
Baby we can see this through,
Just give me all the strength you've got."

I have the strength to endure
And all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure
Because... because...

I'm not afraid to tell her
Just how things work.
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane.
Always looking over my shoulder.

She said, "There's something about you,
And neon lights always glow hot.
Baby we can see this through,
Just give me all the strength you've got."

I have the strength to endure
And all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure
Because... because...

Take It As It Comes

Time to live, time to lie
Time to laugh, time to die

Take it easy, baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast
If you want your love to last
A-you've been movin' much too fast

Time to walk, time to run
Time to aim your arrows at the sun

Take it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
If you want your love to last
A-you've been movin' much too fast

Go real slow
You'll like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun

Take it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
If you want your love to last
A-you've been movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast

Main Man

When I start movin', you see a blur.
Get hooked on me baby, there ain't no cure.
I've always been able to laugh at fate.
Two brown eyes filled with hate.

I'm the man who makes the street his home
And my lean mean heart is just as hard as stone.

Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.

Spend my time in a cold jail cell,
Shootin' up poison and livin' in hell.
And I never care what people think,
My history's written on me in tattooed ink,
And still life goes on, tracks on my arms,
And the number thirteen is my good luck charm.

Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.

What happens to me is my own affair.
If you don't like me, I really don't care.
'cause no one's been what I've been through,
And I don't do what people want me to do.
I'll fight you till the bitter end,
And then I'll screw your little girl friend.

Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.

Tomorrow She Goes Away

Infatuation, she's a fatal attraction
Hangin' 'round, screwing with my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

Danger's intriguing, but I don't want to die
Got to leave this psycho behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
And so I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
And so I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away

I Won't Let It Happen

Got my sights, baby, set on you
The things she said, well, maybe they're true
But it's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen, not again

Easy come, easy go, easily
But that's not how I want it to be
It's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen, not again

Sitting all alone by the telephone
When are you coming home?
When are you coming home?
Hey!

Easy come, easy go, easily
But that's not how I want it to be
And it's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen, not again
Not again
Not again
Not again

Cabbies On Crack

Got into a cab, Broadway 59
Took off like a flash, almost lost my mind
Oh, oh, oh
Cabbies on crack

It first felt like at thrill ride
Excited for a while
Got pretty scary swerving at 100 miles an hour
Oh, oh, oh
Cabbies on crack

I want to get out,
Out of this yellow shell
I want to get out,
Crack cabbies straight from hell

And I don't wanna die before I've lived
Cabbies on... Cabbies on crack

Cabbies on crack
Want my money back
Disco blasting out
Stomach in my mouth
Oh, oh, oh
Cabbies on crack

Times Square was approaching
He braked for the light
At 90 miles an hour
Flashed by, I saw my life
Oh, oh, oh
Cabbies on crack

I want to get out,
Out of this yellow shell
I want to get out,
Crack cabbies straight from hell

And I don't wanna die before I've lived
Cabbies on... Cabbies on crack

And I don't wanna die before I've lived
Cabbies on... Cabbies on crack
Cabbies on... Cabbies on crack

Cabbies on crack

Cabbies on crack
Cabbies on...

Heidi Is A Headcase

Headcase baby
She's a cool kind of crazy
Wild and she's willing
Into early Dylan

She drives me crazy, oh yeah, ooh-ooh yeah

When I look into her big brown eyes
I'm so glad to know she's mine
My little headcase, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah
My little headcase, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah

Cranks up her Rickenbacker
Blasts away for hours
What's she doin' now on the escalator
Snortin' up some speed off a picture of Stiv Bators

What'ya doin'?

When I look into her big brown eyes
I'm so glad to know she's mine
My little headcase, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah
My little headcase, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah

And we've met all kinds of guys and girls
From Kamoto Islands to Rockaway Beach
No, it's not hard, not far to reach

American girls knock me out, you know
Fast cars, cold beer and rock'n'roll
America is the only home I know, I know, I know, I know
