Hüsker Dü Album

The gut From the gut
It hurts Hurts so much
The same Quite the same
You know Know too much
It's yours Yours no more
It's mine For the time
That I'm Without you

Got something to say
Like something to me
Well just go ahead and spit it out
It's all the same, you see
What's that, it doesn't make sense
Are you talking in tongues
Or is your brain out of gear
I can hear it rattle in your head

I can see your lips move
BLAH BLAH BLAH
But all I hear is

Got something to say
Like something to me
Well just go ahead and spit it out
It's all the same, you see
It's coming out better
But it doesn't make sense
Is that a head on your shoulders
Or something you use for ornamentation

Take a look around this bar
Take a look around this place
Take a look around this hall
Think it's a fucking gym?
Kick and punch and kick and punch and kick and punch and kick and punch
Who's your friend? Who's your friend?
Who's your friend? Who's your friend?
Your enemy.

Take a look around this bar
Take a look around this place
Take a look right in the mirror
What are you, a fucking queer?
Kick and punch and kick and punch and kick and punch and kick and punch
Who's your friend? Where's your friend?
He's over there, he's gonna fuck it up
For everybody.

Kick and punch and kick and punch and kick and punch and kick and punch
Who's your friend? Who's your friend?
Where's your friend? I guess he'd rather be punch drunk.

Brick on the head from the top of the ceiling
Urban sniper, urban killer
Won't be finished until you're dead
Urban sniper, urban killer
Brick out the window, top of the head
Brick on the head 'cause you're a fuckhead
Brick at the window, top of my head
You're a fuckhead

Don't speak unless spoken to
And then you don't say much
You think you're so self-righteous
But your mind is out of touch

You're afraid, you're afraid of being wrong
Always be the passive one and go along
You're afraid, you're afraid to speak your mind
That's not for me, not for me, not for me

Living in a crystal maze
Fucked, you can't get out
Never be the agitator
Unless you know what it's all about

Sunshine Superman


Sunshine came softly through my window today
I could have tripped out easy but I've changed my ways.
It'll take time I know it, but in a while...
You're gonna be mine and I know it, we'll do it in style.

Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find.
Everybody's hustling just to have a little scene.
When I say we'll be cool, well, I think that, you know what I
mean.
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when...
I know a beach where baby, it never ends.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got, nothin' on me.
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea
You can just sit there thinkin', on your velvet throne
About all the rainbows you can have for your own.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.

I'll tell you right now...
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.

I'll tell you right now...

You're like a relic, you're like a ghost
Can't see a thing 'cause your eyes are closed
Dirt cheap love is a thing of the past
I feel hate 'cause I move fast

You think the whole world is incense, peace and love
You can't escape the signals from above

If I listened to the things that you said
Everything would fall apart
If I did all the things that you do
Everything could fall apart
Let's not listen to the things that they say
Everything can fall apart
Let's think about our actions before we do them
Everything will fall apart

I got nothing to do
You got nothing to say
Everything is so fucked up
I guess it's natural that way

Everything falls apart

If I did all the things that you do
Everything could fall apart
If I listened to the things that you told me
Everything would fall apart
Let's think about our actions before we do them
Everything will fall apart
If we do all the things as we say
Everything can fall apart

I got nothing to do
You got nothing to say
Everything is so fucked up
I guess it's natural that way

I got nothing to do
You got nothing to say
Everything is so fucked up
I guess we like it that way

If I listened to the things that
You said everything

On a date with Sharon Tate
I'm gonna pick her up in my new crate
Well we go to the movies, we go to the drag
The highway patrol puts us both in a bag

Wheels, wheels

Statue of Mary sitting on my dash
Mother, please protect me
Help me avoid the crash
I've got a really big engine
And it goes vroom, vroom
Could be a cradle, could be a tomb

You've seen it all before
You think it's passe
But you listen to the same fucking records
Every single day
You don't like the people who caught on late
If they're having fun,

Don't participate, be lethargic
You're a hypocrite, you're the target

Tell us we're obnoxious
You can't sell our product
Who asked you to?
Say we play too fast
The music's not gonna last
Well, I think you're wrong

You don't like the way we look
Obnoxious
You don't like the way we talk
Obnoxious
You can all go get fucked
Obnoxious

It's only getting darker
It may be moving faster
Well it won't stop spinning
But how long will it remain?

This repulsive world
The crimes we all commit
It's not your gravity
It's not your gravity
Gravity

The tension keeps building
The changes are rapid
We're through competing
Is it better to retreat?

This repulsive world
The crimes we all comit
It's not your gravity
It's not my gravity
Gravity

Government authorize education
[Don't mean a thing]
They'll teach you what they want you to think
[Don't mean a thing]
Saturation of stars and stripes
[Don't mean a thing]
The only freedom worth fighting for is for what you think

Why bother spending time
Reading up on things
Everybody's an authority
In a free land

What do I want?
What will make me happy?
Nothing

Time for a lottery, they got your number
Blood for fuel, and limbs for lumber
They just wanted more machines
For their modern war machine

M.I.C. Am I seeing it right?
M.I.C. Must be time to fight
M.I.C. The war machine is growing
M.I.C. I'm not fucking going

You get all pissed off and hang around with you so called friends
what is all about
do everthing you've got to do
tell me tell me tell me do
are you different are you new?
no you're just a statue
You hang around
Surround yourself beautiful faces
think everybodys

Don't run away (3x)
Why should I stay
And give my life away

You've picked my number
First thing I've ever won
But that's just my luck
Now you got me
Now I'm stuck
Stuck in a rut with
A knife in my gut

You've cut the odds
My chances have dwindled
Nobody wants me now
Gotta get out
Gotta get away
Escape to die
Some other day

Now I'm getting really confused
I wish I were you
Then I'd sit around and decide
Just who wins
And just who dies

I'm not easily amused
And I'm not easily amazed
Don't you do something different?
And I wont even be fazed.
Yeah got you're letter
Was it an invitation?
You created this situation
You're my friend, my dear friend
got your little project
wanna be that project?
JUST DO IT!
I'm not easily amused by you
Not easily amazed
Don't you do something different?
Won't even beat me
Yeah got you're letter
Was it an invitation?
You created this situation

We do it all for fun you know
Get loaded after the show, it's all part of the scene
Don't hate us, we're just kids
People say we're behind the times,
go ahead and see if I care
Do you remember?
When you were our age
Do you remember?
