The stars are getting in and out of automobiles
And we keep wondering when we're gonna feel something real Keep waiting for a Santa that will never come A real party not just people who're faking fun But everything gets erased before it's even said And all that glitters isn't gold when inside it's dead All that glitter is not gold All that glitter is not gold All that glitter is not gold All that glitter is not gold I went to your concert and I didn't feel anything I went to your concert and I didn't hear anything I went to your concert and I didn't feel anything I went to your concert and I didn't see anything (Oh Baby) Why won't you talk to me? (Oh Baby) You just want me empty! (Oh Baby) You don't say anything! (Oh Baby) Why won't you answer me? All that glitter is not gold All that glitter is not gold All that glitter is not gold All that glitter is not gold I sat through your movie but I didn't see anything. I went to your comedy club and didn't laugh at all. I went to your movie and I didn't hear anything. I went to your concert and there was nothing going on. You don't say You don't say You don't say anything....... |

We favor the simple expression of the complex thought.
We are for the large shape, because it has the impact of the unequivocal. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth. The artist was attempting to make art more than something to just look at, they wanted it something to be involved in, something too big to ignore. It is our function as artists to make the spectator to see the world our way, not his way. |

Nine years old,
and climbing out the house through a song played on piano by my neighbors Les and Ray. I put my head up against the wall to be closer to the music that they played. You were my oxygen, the thing that made me think I could escape. This is a thank you song for Les and Ray. You were my batteries, the thing that made me think I could escape. Here's a song for Les and Here's a song for Les and Ray. |

Play it so safe to stay on top. Shake it, imitate it, but it still sounds old.
We just can't understand why the man calls it lo-fi. So get your bags packed now and I'll meet you on the outside. "X"-out all self-supervision...get your keys out, now start the ignition. We're on the verge of...All right! When you're shipwrecked on your mattress I'll come in and show you how to hijack the past and wind up in the right now. Grag some clothes, three chords and a video camera. Maybe a mic, some handwipes, a typewriter, and a hammer. Why don't you come over now? I'll buzz you up. 'Cause you know when you're around I can't get enough. I'm gonna follow you, wait, straight into the late night. 'Cause you're so on fire and you already know. A-O-A-O do it so right A-O-A-O do it tonight |

Pipe down baby, why so fake loud?
You've lied now ten thousand times...it's show business anyhow. You make me sick, sick, sick, sick. Where'd you get all the attention? Your dad's money too base to mention? His coattails are looking word. You've had a nice ride, that's for sure. Better thank your brain-dead clientele for all the money that you'll spend in hell. Wanma percent of every nation, your'e the type to rise to that occasion. Stole the race, no surprise there. The elevator always beats the stairs. On a golf cart...wearing some uniform...bombing in the night-time...lying on tv...you make me sick |

We learned this lesson five times fine: fake left, go right, back-stabs read minds!
Taillights shine beautiful, they make halos on the road. Don't give our keys to the city to shark-suits, b-sides, free-things-please! I left the code at the coat-check pointed to the word on my neck. That's me, all night on stand-by. Three words, three things...oh please please! Don't, don't drink poison! Wolf Girl, poolside, I'm in the lobby. Gay concierge-spy high fives me. It's all cool enemy style, smile at the tv while you download her file. Watch for the quick slip, money shot, vid clip. Walk past slowly, pass me the nurse kit. Don't be fooled by the sister vocab...keep it light, put it on her tab. Heads up for this tonight...it's some you'll recognize. Looks like lips and feels like teeth, always waving to the people from the magazine. There's one thing they love to see...it's tear jearks for charity and blank smirks all the way to the airport. There's one drink, on ice, oh I think it's ... They say trouble comes in threes, I say Chicken Ceasar grows on trees. It could be lucky to be out of luck. I mean, better than to take the test where amnesiacs must write on napkins. Prepare for what might happen. In a trance from polished talk we think...coat throat, lemon lime, hot choc, oh! ... Fem Exec is right behind me. Almost there, through the glass doors, against the wall, on the third floor. We found a robot hand hidden in a potted plant. And we're not too nice to notice when white wine stinks and we're misquoted. |

I got your name and number, you seem kinda surprised.
Maybe it's 'cause I can be, you know, like cold as ice. In crowded situations I always want to go. And if I see you leaving, I beat you to the door. I'm gonna tell you something, you're better than fake-wild. I see the future. In it, they try to kill your style, your manner, and your motives. I've seen the way it goes. So memorize my number, that's why I got a phone. Call me after dark. I can make the sun rise daily right up from your landscape painting. I will be in the front row later when your brush becomes a mic. Maybe we could change this game forever. Shapes our breath makes in cold weather. They might say we're both crazy...I'm just glad I found you, baby. I don't want someone telling me no-oh-oh, "you're out of time" I don't mind being debated as long as you're with me tonight. I'm not gonna give up easy, we were made to cross the line. I don't want the things that we do...I don't want to let them die. |

We are gathered here, we come from so many different places. From different identities, different cultures. Different backgrounds different religions. And yet we can gather, under the guides of peace....now... Peace now! "We say no to war!" Peace up, war down! "We say no to war!" Peace up, war down! "We say no to war!" Peace up, war down! "We made it. We're here. We're here right now and we're not leaving." Now I feel you, I feel you people. Now I feel you, I feel you people. Now I feel you, I feel you people. Now I feel you, I feel you people. Now I feel you, I feel you.... "Now, we have reports that more and more people are just taking on ramps onto the bridge and are just taking it over.. it's just...just..." "I mean, i'm just like..ahh!" This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like! This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like! "Reports from protests from among Georgia... Amsterdam... and Bay Ruth Lebanon... East Seymour... Florence, Italy...London...Milano, Italy...Paris, France... Dozens of cities in Spain... Reports in Athens, Georgia... Austin, Texas... Westford, Virginia... Charleston, South Carolina... Colorado Springs... and Defiance, Ohio... Denver, Colorado as well as Durango... Geneva, New York and Houston, Texas... Cianis, Massachussetts...In Hawaii as well... Lawrence, Kansas... Los Angeles, California... AND I AM ONLY NAMING A FEW!" Peace...now! Peace...now! And as Eleanor Roosevelt said... "It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it" And we here today... are working at it! "Peace is possible, and even necessary. So drop the sword, pick up the hammer and the saw. And start building a better world!" No blood for oil! We will not be violent! No blood for oil! We will not be violent! No blood for oil! "We will not go to war, for a selected president, who wasn't even elected!" We must stand unbroken, unbound and unashamed We need healthcare! We need education! We need freedom in this nation! Freedom in this nation! Freedom in this nation! Freedom in this nation! "Thousands of people have taken over 3rd Avenue and are marching North. The crowd stretches at least 15 blocks from 44th street to 59th Street. The police have just simply... given up." This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like! This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like! peace now peace now (repeated behind next lines) "We will not sell out! We will not back down! We will not compromise! We will go forward, Until peace is on the world's agenda!" I started a theory that there were no more heroes in the World. But Today, I see all the World's heroes standing before me. "We say no to war!" No war! "We say no to war!" No war! "We say no to war!" No war! |

Ten short years of progressive change, fifty fucking years of calling us names. Can we trade title nine for an end to hate crime? RU-486 if we suck your fucking dick? One step forward, five steps back. One cool record in the year of rock-rap. Yeah we got all the power getting stabbed in the shower and we got equal rights on ladies night. Feminists we're calling you. Please report to the front desk. Let's name this phenomenon. It's too dumb to bring us down. F.Y.R. Fifty years of ridicule. F.Y.R. take another picture. . . . . Mrs. Doubtfire on mother's day. On-the-job stalker for equal pay. Toss us a few new AIDS drugs as national healthcare bites the dust. While you were on vacation black people didn't get reparations. You know these days no one's exploited. Sorry dude can't hear ya with my head in the toilet. Feminists we're calling you. Please report to the front desk. Let's name this phenomenon. It's too dumb to bring us down. F.Y.R. Fifty years of ridicule. F.Y.R. take another picture. . . . . . You've really come a long way baby. It's you, not the world, that's totally crazy. Cuz we really rocked the fuckin vote with election fraud in poor zip codes. Celebrate gay marriage in Vermont by enforcing those old sodomy laws. One step foreward five steps back. We tell the truth they turn up the laugh track. Feminists we're calling you. Please report to the front desk. Let's name this phenomenon. It's too dumb to bring us down.

Marching naked ladies We recruit, We recruit. . . . . There's noone telling us where to stand or where to be There's noone telling us where to stand or where to be There's noone telling us where to stand or where to be Resist. Shout it out. Resist, Resist, Shout it out.... There's no one telling us where to stand or where to be There's no one telling us where to stand or where to be There's no one telling us where to stand or where to be There's no one telling us where to stand or where to be We're just this huge strong mass of feminist fury. Resist, Resist. . . . . Feminist fury. Feminist fury. Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Proud to be a dyke Resist, Resist, Resist, Resist..... Feminist fury... It was a lifelong dream I had as a child And it's actually come to pass in my adult life. |

When you're walking down the street
No one sees a V.I.P. I.E. - genious artist of our time well, I'll be the first on line to say "I get it, I get it, I get it" "I get it, I get it, I get it" "I get it, I get it, I get it" I've been waiting for so long to see your face I tried this one time and there was a huge line And now we're standing in a very small space No need to worry about getting rain on your brain Getting fun on your sun Getting sleet on your feet 'Cause todays the day "I get it, I get it, I get it" "I get it, I get it, I get it" Tres bien, tres bien, tres bien, tres bien All the critics tend to blast you Dumb ideas will outlast you Moneys gone Youve got no grants I'll push your work with my bare hands (Because they will try to convince us that we have arrived, that we are allready there, that IT has happened. Because we need to live in a place where we are truely alive, present, safe, and accounted for. Because we refuse to allow our writing, songs, art, activism, and political histories to be supressed, Because we refuse to be embarassed about the mistakes and faults and choose to move forward with a political agenda bent, on the freedom, for all.) |

(Intro skit) Don't fuck with me I'm the fuckin manager!
And don't forget your fuckin daily planners. You better write down everything you accomplish. And lemme see your fuckin smiles around the office. You "grrrls" look tired were you out late last night? I heard you were some kind of underground electro feminist performance artists. Is that right? Right. . . . . In five years you won't remember getting fired or whatever and until then and forever I'm proud to be associated with you. I know 40 hours a week would suit you fine but your application's been denied, suprise! This is how it feels to be free. Turn around, turn around, turn around and take a look at the crowd and say: It's okay to hate your job after all it's fucking wrong. Turn around, turn around turn around and take a look at the crowd. You know All my friends are fucking bitchs best known for burning bridges do you need a character witness I say I'm proud to be associated with you. When I look around, I see your face in the crowd, I see the girls are out, a lot of freaks in the house. Le Tigre family and friends, I hope this feeling never ends cuz you're beautiful. And your boss is an asshole and I don't give a shit what the dick thinks. We will survive as thieves we will survive as freaks. Turn around, turn around turn around and take a look at the crowd. . . . . I think it looks all right we got friends in sight yeah tomorrow we fight so let's have fun tonight. . . . . . Turn around, turn around. . . . . |
