he was the kind of kid in the neighborhood
who was always told he was no good
and everybody let him know it
and when he went to school you see
the kids would not let him be
they would make him grovel and cry
everybody knows
the emperor's got no clothes
but nobody really wants to see
the boy with the amplifier head
everybody thought that he was born that way
when they shut him down
he made that awful sound
the boy with the amplifier head
he was the kind of kid in the neighborhood
who always did just what he should
and nobody let him know it
when he went to class you know
they put him under glass you know
so they could see him grovel and cry
everybody knows
the emperor's got no clothes
but nobody really wants to see
the boy with the amplifier head
everybody thought that he was born that way
when they shut him down
he made that awful sound
the boy with the amplifier head

and your face in my head
i’ve got a new obsession

i’ve got a new obsession i do
that new obsession is you
you’re a hurricane tsunami
i know your gonna harm me
a nightmare a messy wet dream
i toss n turn with tremors, night sweats n devils
you make me wanna scream
that…I got a new obsession

i’ve got a new obsession it’s true
that new obsession is you
i cannot stop
the once i start
i am a more fiend
you had me right from the first shot
now i’m on repeat
the once i start
i cannot stop
i am a more fiend
you are the one that left a scar
now i must get clean
you came and went so fast
the kick was worth the blast
but can i get one more hit please

Two Headed Girl

life ain’t so easy with a two headed girl
she’s got me so dizzy i’m about to hurl
i met her when she was a side show attraction
all i wanted was a piece of action
life isn’t easy with a two headed girl
and taking her out is no small affair
because it takes 4 hours just to do her hair
friday night at the drive in double feature
everyone ran screaming from my creature
life isn’t easy with a two headed girl
one head likes to stay awake all night
one mouth swallows what the other bites
life ain’t so easy with a two headed girl
now we are happy in this house of freaks
with two of our own little pinhead geeks
but we sleep in separate beds
it’s hard to find a pillow for a girl with 2 heads
life ain’t so easy with a two headed girl

you can wash out my mouth with soap
but i’ll still say fuck
give me a hit of ritalin
i’ll still cause a ruckus
i’m a boy on a mission
i walk my talk
all i wanna do is
rock rock rock
tell me to be quiet
and i just gotta scream
take me to confession
i won’t be redeemed
i’m a boy on a mission
and i walk my talk
all i wanna do is
rock rock rock
i learned to wipe my own ass
from a bell swingin’ hunchback
with a fist for a pacifier
i learned to take a punch jack
i’m a boy on a mission
and i walk my talk
all i wanna do is
rock rock rock

everything is burnin' up
everything is breakin' down
religicide on the street
hard times all around
we don't care anyway
all we want to do is play
tonight we party like its the end of days
lets have a rave up
rave up
lets have a rave up
it's time to get down
there is a little joint
on up the street
where bands play
and people meet
to blow off all their daily blues
with neon lights and lots of booze
they drink their cares away
for just a little while anyway
and they party like it's the end of days
lets have a rave up
rave up
lets have a rave up
it's time get down
