They call it KFC,
Cause it's not really chicken.
Hot Cheetos for breakfast,
Make a young student sickened.
Did you ever think someone's tricking you?...you...you...you

And the guy in the pulpit,
Is a bigot and a liar.
Some kid walks into my school, and opens fire.
Heard any good jokes lately?
Cause we sure do need 'em.
My punk band's called Operation Iraqi Freedom.

So what's it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy ...creamer?

A new love,
Is burning up in me,
Cause one in four American girls has an STD.
And you can buy yourself some implants,
But you can't buy soul threat level orange.
(What's that?)
With your chest pumped out,
What are you so afraid about?
With your chest pumped out,
What are you so afraid about?
What are you so afraid of?
What are you so afraid of?

Uh what's it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy ...creamer?

And two gay guys got married,
Brought the family to its knees.
How did they blow us to smithereens?
Just a couple of queens.
How did they do it?
I'm telling you now,
They brought marriage to an end,
And I found myself some culprits,
It's two young gay republicans.
Young gay republicans.
Young gay republicans.
Young gay republicans.

What's it going to be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy... creamer?
What's it going to be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy... creamer?

Mission Accomplished.
Mission Accomplished.
Mission Accomplished.

Some, some of them we murder
Some, some we let go
Some, some of them we murder
Some, some we let go

(Sincerely, I wanna thank everyone for listening.
Thank you all. Thank you all.)

The police high beams froze her perfect face
In white glow for a while
The politburo's on high alert
And her name showed up on file
There's trouble with their war effort
And she's been speaking out
Checkpoint Charlie's radioed in
She's compromised in doubt
There's trouble with the war effort and she's crossed the party line
You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind

You were so pretty oh
And you were so pretty oh oh oh
Well I don't know...

The files have been filled
The regime won't be undermined
You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind

Quiet now don't make a sound
The system shut us down now, we'll find each other in the underground
She had the voice once of the people
Now she's timid as a mouse
I would kiss you on the mouth in a safe house

Cause you were so pretty, oh
hiding out
hiding out
Cause you were so pretty, oh
hiding out
hiding out
Walk on by
hiding out
hiding out
Walk on by
She's a red star
She's a red star

Tell me how did you let them in
We were silent secret agents
But the resistance is wearing thin
Dissent is now illegal
She must pay the consequence
In this thriller mystery baby
You are my suspense

Cause you were so pretty oh
hiding out
hiding out
Cause you were so pretty oh
hiding out
hiding out
Walk on by
hiding out
hiding out
Walk on by
She's a red star
She's a red star

You've come so far to back down now...

. . .


Are you frightened by the weight you possess or
Is this life just weightlessness
The smoggy twilight in LA
I can't think of one real thing to say
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
Forgets that we were friends
I guess it all depends on your mood
Why can't these meds be any damn good

And she said
Why can't you be
Like my waterpik shower massager
A sweet reliable machine
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
A water massagers the purest love I've ever known
Why can't you be
Like when I was 13

Why can't you be
Like an art house foreign movie
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And allude to me
And why can't you be
A little more of a mystery

Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Said we're perfect for each other
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone

Why can't you be
Like an outsourced government contract
I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything
Kicking some secret special powers
Illumination rounds in showers
Cause your tearing your hair out
While we can have a bed of flowers

And I said
Why can't you be
Like the chicks out on the road
Some girls are happy just to see me
Because you got moxie and a broken nose
Take him away from this pose
Sometimes a blow jobs not enough
Why can't you play
A little less rough

Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Said we're perfect for each other
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone

Can we... just leave it be
And we can live... our lives... separately
Could you forget... what happens to you
You and me

When we're dead... and we'll be dead
We'll have eternity
And I will spend it all... missing you
Seeing you and me
So while I'm alive... I will always be

Why can't you be
Lookin' a little deeper into me
Like JD Salinger
Why do I challenge her
In all these surface ways
That you displease
Why can't you be
A little more at ease

Why can't you be
Like a hand rolled cigarette
I'm not joking
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
And this city ditty
I keep provoking you to leave me

She said
Why can't you be
Like a candle I can snuff
You're still a diamond in the rough
And I swear to god I've had enough
How can I call your bluff?
