Bad Birthday Bash

House all to myself
it was my birthday present
But total wrack'n'ruin
soon became apparent
I just wanted a band
to play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
but boy was I wrong
I thought they'd played the cowboy song
(I heard it on the radio)
I thought it could be mellow
(but how could I know)
I just wanted a band
to play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
but boy was I wrong
Asked to bring some friends
In walked in 50 mohawks
As the band began to play
they started to throw rocks
Now I thought that this was cool
til they threw me in the pool
The sofa must of missed me
cause now it's in here with me
I just wanted a band
to play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
but boy was I wrong
I thought they'd played the cowboy song
(I heard it on the radio)
I thought it could be mellow
(but how could I know)
War declared on furniture
still no mercy shown
Anything not nailed down
was immediately thrown
Final damage toll
is better left unspoken
By the time they left my house
there was nothing left unbroken

Mohawk Town

Now Mohawk John knew he did wrong
when he went and killed some men
They sent for the marshal to bring him in
they sent for Marshal Skin
He rode into town,
and pulled his cowboy hat down
Cause everyone knows that skinheads,
skinheads aren't allowed
(skinheads aren't allowed)
in Mohawk Town
The sun was high and his mouth was dry
So he rolled up to the saloon
He ordered himself some red eye
he knew he'd meet John soon
Checked out all the Mohawks
sitting round the bar
He knew he found the Mohawk town
and John couldn't be too far
He rode into town,
and pulled his cowboy hat down
Cause everyone knowsthat skinheads,
,skinheads aren't allowed
(skinheads aren't allowed)
in Mohawk Town
He walked out of the saloon
and there stood Mohawk John
He didn't have no time to speak
both guns had just been drawn
Now Mohawk John was quick
but Skin shot straight and fast
He put a slug right through his heart
and laid him on his back
He rode into town,
and pulled his cowboy hat down
Cause everyone knows that skinheads,
skinheads aren't allowed
(skinheads aren't allowed)
in Mohawk Town

Come here little boy
I'm a friend of your mother's
I'll give you a candy bar if you get in the car
Okay
He's got his camera
and deep seeded obsessions
His Nordic heritage
and sexual frustrations
He wants to be Lief Eriksson
True discoverer of America
but he's not
He's just a photographer
who likes little boys in viking suits
He likes to take the little boys
walking home from school
in his neighborhood
Take them to his studio
and dress them up in viking suits
Words of wisdom
Each one rings true
Watc your little brothers, it could happen to you
So don't grow up to be a guy
Who takes pictures of little boys in viking suits
Come here little boy

Help me! Help me! I'm a fly! I'm a fly.
Help me! Help me! I wanna die! I wanna die!
The world is the shit I land on. It's got nothing to give.
The world is the shit I land on. I don't want to live.

driving in our airstream
we're a band on the road
with equipment, roadies, a manager
we've got a heavy load
airstream! airstream! airstream!
get out of my lane!
airstream! airstream! airstream!
on our way to your town
cause you've never seen us play
with our airstream's aerodynamic design
we should be there any day
airstream! airstream! airstream!
get out of my lane!
airstream! airstream! airstream!
airstream is so shinny
and it's made out of aluminum
you can't tell if it's a '64
or an '81
I know that it's American made
So my chest just swells with pride
Then I grab that stainless steel handle
And I pull myself inside
double insulation
diamond tuck n roll
toilet, shower, refrigerator
we're completely self contained
airstream! airstream! airstream!
get out of my lane!
airstream! airstream! airstream!
airstream is so beautiful
we can hardly keep the foxes out
when we round that final corner
we can hear them shout
airstream!

I live in the land of the freeways
Home of the smog and traffic
The sun and the air
The mountains and sea
Streams and palm trees
The valleys...
The canyons...
The mountains...
The beaches...
Hollywood, downtown, the valley
Are all places you should see
The city at night, the city so bright
a short time away a campfire sight
The missions...
The mansions...
The farmlands...
Punk rock bands...
People come from all over
to work and live in the sun
It's always so nice
my own paradise
The desert , the snow
So many places to go
The people...
The places...
The weather...
The faces...
That's for me

Frog Stomp

Do the Frog Stomp! Do the Frog Stomp!
I loath those creatures with their staring eyes so I stomp those things I despise.
They're green and they're hoppin'
They're not so mean. We can stop 'em.
Do the Frog Stomp!
I saw the late show how they all attacked.
Now my frog-phobia has me fighting back.
It's not the commies that I'm worried about.
It's those green slimy things. I can take them out.

In 1993 I was 11 years old, I remember the neighbor kid who was a good 6 or 7 years older than me made me a mix tape of his favorite punk songs, and they were all Sub Hum Ans. I fell in love with punk that day. Thanks.
