Why? vs. Why?

stonedferret Has a great sound and feel.
Reminiscent of Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, but made it their own.
Definitely one of new favourite albums. Not a single filler song.
Favorite track: Main Sewage Treatment Playground.

There’s no getting some without paying for it There’s always a price for fringe benefits Time and resources spent greasing the wheels Upping the ante to seal the deal Always the risk of hidden fees Variable interest, no guarantees It’s a business doing pleasure with you! Negotiate carefully to reach an accord Wheeling and dealing to reap the reward Nothing ventured, nothing gained But not all offers will be entertained Crossing the border might incur duties A small price to pay for valuable booty Not all transactions can be expensed But it shouldn’t come down to dollars and cents It’s a business doing pleasure with you!

Oompa Loompa skin tone from his spray-on tan Perpetual smirk of an arrogant man With the hair of a troll doll, the hands of an elf He makes everything about himself Racist, xenophobic, Republican stance A bombastic brand of irreverence A total man-baby in actions and words Now he’s leading a nation in his theatre of the absurd Lord P. Mad Nut Consults with himself because he’s got a good brain He’s praised the leadership of Saddam Hussein Rearrange the letters to see who you get A sociopathic millionaire buried in debt Lord P. Mad Nut Donald Trump – you’re fired! [I quit!]

Go ahead and stick it in Stick your head in the box Escape from this reality To live a new life virtually But who's in charge of what you see? Manipulated messaging Enhanced bio-controller Wrapped around your face More than propaganda Population control They get you with your empathy They know they've got you hooked You're giving them the keys To your heart and mind What reality will we choose for mankind?

The whole city’s complaining that we need more green space Luckily there’s a prime location down by the lake The vegetation thrives; could make a great escape Let’s build a playground to stop the complaints City Hall engineered More crooked politics To appease the people With dirty council tricks A rugby pitch, a skateboard park, a couple of baseball fields An oasis by the lakefront to keep ground zero concealed A picture perfect landscape, almost too green to be true But then again Chernobyl’s looking pretty lush now too They hid the evidence Known land contamination They covered up the mess With urban beautification What’s bubbling beneath the surface really isn’t pretty Sewage from the neighbouring plant; that’s why the air smells shitty Without a social outcry, the poisonous cocktail will stay put A toxic time bomb, ticking underfoot The soil records disappeared Now they can’t remediate It’s now a fact of life So enjoy and play safe!

Dixie 02:56
Dixie --- she’s a D-cup Skinny on the bottom and bigger on the top Covered with tattoos to make her look appealing Putting my lip to her’s is a satisfying feeling Sucking her plentiful bounty An orgasm of my mouth Breathing heavy and sweating A burning fire doused Some days I could fondle her all day long The touch of her soft exterior pressed against my palm Oh so refreshing, I need a second helping Tilting my head back, she fulfills my craving Ooo Baby, you feel so goddamn good You always hit the spot Yeah Darlin’, I’m ready for more I just can’t get enough Yet on other days, this might sound rough I fill her up --- bottom’s up; one taste is enough And when my craving’s satisfied, I don’t gently put her down I crush her sheer existence and throw her to the ground Hey Honey, you’re looking pretty worn Our relationship should end Hey Sugar, it’s time that I move on Do you have any friends? Oh, come on, give me a break! I’m not the pig you think I just described my procedure For taking a drink

Cap'n Punk 02:26
This is the story of the cap’n of the scene It’s a cartoon and not a human being It’s punker than fuck but what does that mean? We got Glenn Danzig as Count Chocula Stiff Little Fingers for the Lucky Charms The California Raisins and the Gimme Gimmes The Mr. T Experience has Teamed Up and It’s Cool! You can’t get away with that punk You can’t get away with that punk You can’t get away with that punk ‘cuz the punk always gives you away Chi Pig going cuckoo on Cocoa Puffs Snap, Crackle, Pop and Jello Biafra all won’t shut up Milo’s coffee and Bran Flakes made for good clean fun The surprise in the box was a Naked Raygun Striped shirt of the Cookie Crook on Joey Ramone Dig’em the Frog skanking to the Bosstones Bad Brains and Poison Idea are the Frosted Flakes Tony the Tiger shouts --- They’re great! You can’t get away with that punk You can’t get away with that punk You can’t get away with that punk ‘cuz the punk always gives you away

Walking around with your armour in place Hiding behind the mask on your face Let your guard down, drop the gloves And show us all what you’re really made of Thinking your new image is all concealing Like a window to your soul, it’s more revealing See through your facade like a plate of glass Running from your fears is just so crass Secure behind your emotional forcefield Be a man, drop the shield Lay down your weapons and just come clean Show your feelings, you’re not a machine Be yourself or you’ll end up dead Looking down and regretting the life that you led Life’s not a game, a great big charade So stop what you’re doing and admit you’re afraid

I’m hot yet cold, my throat is sore Kleenex scattered on the floor It’s a full-on germ war I’ve got the flu -- so stick a thermometer up my butt I’ve had more than my fill I’m sick of all these useless pills Sick of sweating and the chills I've got the flu -- so stick a thermometer up my butt Aches and pains, and stuffy nose Running like a firehose Being sick fuckin’ blows I’ve got the flu -- so stick a thermometer up my butt My eyes are filled with crusted goop I need noodles in my chicken soup I feel like i’ve got the croup I’ve got the flu -- so stick a thermometer up my butt Phlegm is settling in my chest I don’t need your fancy tests Tried and true works the best I’ve got the flu -- so stick a thermometer up my butt Stick a thermometer up my butt Don’t forget to lube it up I’ll grab my ankles, then jam it up I’ve got the flu -- so stick a thermometer up my butt
