10-24-2017 So, I woke up this morning with Anti-Flag "Die for the Government" stuck in my head. I'm not sure why-- I haven't listened to music that stupid since I was in my early twenties?? Anyway, I decided to write an article about how stupid the lyrics are (because, well-- they are incredibly stupid). So, I found the lyrics online. But, man-- the lyrics to "Die for the Government" are so stupid, I can't justify wasting time writing about them. I can only urge people to read the lyrics for themselves. The stupidity is undeniable. Don't listen to punk rock!! Oh, my God! So, I decided to rag on Dead Kennedys instead. The only Dead Kennedys song I could think of on the spot was "Trust Your Mechanic." I have to admit, though-- Dead Kennedys' lyrics are pretty stupid too. It's hard to read biased, communist, groupthink lyrics like DK's and keep a straight face. Even people with a room temperature IQ are capable of thinking for themselves better than Jello Biafra gives them credit for. The lyrics for "Trust Your Mechanic" are printed below. I've inserted my "corrections" where necessary: Dead Kennedys - Trust Your Mechanic TV invents a disease You think you have (Such as?...) So you buy our drugs And soon you depend on them (This always happens??) Pain is in your mind Got you coming back for more (Nah, they won't refill my prescription. :( ) Again and again and again and again Gonna rip you off Rip you off Doctor says you need surgery now Feeling good 'til the side effects Fuck up something else (Because-- this happens??) You're ensnared by the medicine man Paying up the ass Again and again (No, you're not. wtf?) Gonna rip you off Trust your mechanic to mend your car Bring it in to his garage He tightens and loosens a few spare parts (Except, the initial problem is fixed??) One thing's fixed, another falls apart (So, it's under warranty??) And the rich eat you A magazine says your face don't look quite right Unless you wear our brand new wonder creme tonight (And, people are incapable of making up their own minds. ;) ) Never look right again Unless you grease your skin Again and again and again and again (Nope. This doesn't happen.) Gonna rip you off Told you're depressed So of course you see the psychiatrist (Actually, depressed people rarely seek treatment.) Right when you hit your neuroses' roots He confuses you (Confusing patients is not the job of a psychiatrist. Talk therapy and medication-- sure.) He fucks your head up worse Gotcha feeling helpless You're coming back for more Again and again (Nope. Psychiatrists are usually trying to get people out the door so they can bring in new patients.) Gonna rip you off Rip you off Trust your mechanic To make you well (Sure, if they have a good reputation.) You're seeing an awful lot of him now The quicker he makes your life fall apart The more money you put in his pockets (And, you can't take your business elsewhere.) Trust your mechanic To plug your holes (If the mechanic is trustworthy.) Trust him to make more Somewhere else (Oh-- we wouldn't want that.) Trust your mechanic He'll always come through And rip you off (Probably not. People will stop bringing the mechanic business.) And, I figured I'd share the song itself in case you are not privy: A final note: You can pay for a product designed to help people. Or, you can pay to listen to a psychotic (possibly schizophrenic??) socialist shouting lies while phony "musicians" bang on guitars and drums with little understanding of how to play them. Who's *really* ripping you off?? :D Lyrics available courtesy of Genius Lyrics: http://genius.com/Dead-kennedys-trust-your-mechanic-lyrics |
