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
