the music industry pumps through your head
all the stale trite clichés that you want to be fed
all the violent garbage and the macho trash
and now i'm here to tell you that it's balderdash

some people look around and they don't like what
they see stale singers whining something
'bout some birds and some bees i think that
what they need's a swift kick in the ass
i need to hear something obnoxious and fast
so you cut of your hair and you're
ripping your clothes and we all try to look
as if a pose ain't a pose i think that
what we need's a swift kick in the ass
i need to hear something that's gonna last
and so you walk into this club and you're lookin' at me
and you look a little longer and you don't like what you see
and now you want to leave and you got to go
because my hair's too long and this song's too slow
commercial radio has killed rock'n'roll
with their pretty boys in pretty suits
that got no soul
i think that what they need's a swift kick in the ass
i need to hear something that's gonna last
and now you wanna leave and you got to go
because my hair's too long and my song's too slow
