One Big Lie
I heard you I heard you
I hope you hear me
I want to believe you but I can't agree
I won't believe what I can't see
you can't fool me
One big lie
I talked to you all night
you told me your views
you made me an offer I couldn't refuse
but that doesn't mean a fucking thing
just a smokescreen
so don't try to tell us you've thought it all through
because we know the lie and we're smarter than you
I won't believe a fucking thing
you can't fool me

Just Your Way Of Saying No
I ask are you in love
you hit me with your glove
I ask do you feel blue
you hit me with your shoe
and then I realize
you look through different eyes
and then I realize
it's just your way of saying no
I ask am I your man
you hit me with a pan
I ask do you love me
you hit me with a tree

Marine Recruiter
Sgt. Smiles, marine recruiter
teach you to program computers
teach you all the skills you need
you can die with dignity
I got a phone call from the sergeant yesterday
he had a message from the good old U.S.A.:
"Good grades, high I.Q., you're one terrific guy
we'll let you push the buttons while the other people die."
no way, that's what I say
I don't want to be a marine today
Sgt. Smiles, marine recruiter
teach you to program computers
teach you all the skills you need
you can be a fucking pig
and that's why the sergeant smiles
everyday in high school when I got home
marine recruiters called me on the phone
oh god, never thought it would come to this
I get cards I get calls now I'm on the mailing list
Mom I'm not home if they call me on the phone

Sheep
I've got all of the symptoms
and I don't know wrong from right
I resist the itemized list
but it seems so hard tonight
I don't want to be a sheep
just because I'm told
I don't want to be a sheep
in complete control
you get into my headache
you regulate the pain
but I can't second guess you
you go directly to my brain
I can't believe they're on my side
I've been wrong too many times
I do anything you say
I don't know left from right
I think there's something in the water
because it doesn't taste quite right

Danny Partridge
I just read the news in the paper yesterday
Danny Bonaduce just got busted in L.A.
He used to be 10 years old now he's 25
busted for narcotics and he's facing 10 to life
"Danny Partridge Busted"
it happened just the other day
"Danny Partridge Busted"
now they're gonna lock him away
we'll never see his freckled face smiling anymore
they're gonna put him in a cell and doublelock the door
Shirley, Keith, and Reuben, I wonder where you are
next time you see Danny he'll be safely behind bars
and he got busted
it never happened to me
poor Danny
little Danny Partridge wasn't as innocent as he seemed
he finally found an outlet for his moneymaking schemes
I just can't believe it 'cause it seems so strange to me
the kid that we grew up with is a pusher on the street

Scientific
won't let me alone
your constant monotone
I'm trash, I know it's true
but what does that make you?
I want to know what the reason is
scientific
you thought you knew all along
you thought you knew but you were wrong
you thought that you knew me
but you don't know anything

Disconnection
my old girlfriend just went insane
disconnection in her brain
she was okay, now she's no
we're disconnected and I'm cut off
she talks and I can't follow
disconnection in your head, in your head
disconnection and it makes me feel so bad
disconnection in your head
why didn't you tell me I might have understood
you always make it sound so good
now there's nothing that's what I've got
we're disconnected and I'm cut off
and that's something I can't swallow
I wonder if she's alright
I think about it every night
such a waste of time

I'm In Love with Paula Pierce
I've got a brand new love
she's the girl I've been dreaming of
cute face and long blonde hair
tight pants and a vacant stare
I'm in love with Paula Pierce
I like the way she screams
in my perverted dreams
she makes me feel so fine
but I have to stand in line

Big Mistake
what the hell is going on
everything is going wrong
it's too much for me to take
just found out my big mistake
I thought I was safe
that was a big mistake
you can shake your little head
grind your teeth until you're dead
wring your hands until they breakbr>
can't erase that one mistake
if you don't know what's going on
take a look at everyone
we will look right back at you
and you won't know what to do

Pleasant Valley Sunday
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene, He's got a t.v. in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Ta Ta Ta...
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday...

Mary Mary
took a lot of time but I realized<
now it's clear to me Mary you're a freak
Mary Mary you're a freak
don't talk to me
Mary Mary you're so sick
I was doing fine, thought I knew your mind
now I know I don't and I'm all alone
don't look at me
you're a creep and a freak

The Empty Experience
I want to be real cool I don't want to follow the schedule
I want to eat my tv set I want to smell like aqua net
I want to know the human race I want to rub it all over my face
life is such a fucking joke I want to laugh until I choke
thought I saw you when I closed my eyes
but it was just an order of fries
thought I loved you yesterday but it was just a tv tray
I want to meet the aspirin lady I want to talk to Peter Brady
I want to be on my own I want to be fully grown
I want to be a celebrity I want to be like Mr. T
won't let people fuck with me every night on tv
