A5 (Dedicated to Apartment 5) (ISO standard 8 bar jam) | words: AFTim musak: just about every boring old blues band | |
Dedicated to Apartment Five | ||
They're still rocking - still alive | ||
Crack their plates and jar their brains | ||
Cause now they're louder than the trains | ||
Dead squirrels - downstairs | ||
What a show | ||
Dedicated to Apartment Five | ||
The band downstairs still tries to jive | ||
Drums offbeat and strings out of key | ||
Thank god they're not what they try to be | ||
Dead squirrels - downstairs | ||
What a show | ||
Dedicated to those upstairs | ||
Broken plaster strewn everywhere | ||
The mice left home, the roaches too | ||
If we were downstairs, wouldn't you? | ||
Dead squirrels - downstairs | ||
What a show | ||
Bamberger Punk | words and muzak: Al Duvall | |
Yesterday she was a disco queen | 2xD - B - D - C -X- C - D - C - B - 2xG bass: G - E - G - C | |
Then she saw a punk in a magazine | ||
It's in Tiger Beat or Seventeen | ||
Fashion models think its really keen | ||
Chorus: | ||
She's a Bamberger's punk | 2xG - E - G - 4xC | |
She's a Bamberger's punk | 2xD - B - D - 4xG | |
The alligator left for the miniskirt | ||
New styles' cool - she tries so hard it hurts | ||
All day long she found 15 different shirts | ||
She looks in the mirror then tries to smirk | ||
chorus |
||
Her boyfriend is a jock | 4xA - 4xC | |
But he didn't like punk rock | ||
But when she's at school | ||
She doesn't dress so cool | ||
She wears it for the night | 4xD - 4xG | |
and that makes it alright | ||
So her boyfriend deals | ||
With the way she feels | ||
chorus |
||
She likes Flock of Seagulls and Adam Ant | ||
To her, music shouldn't take a chance | ||
She tells the guys she really wants to dance | ||
But her makeup runs and she has tight pants | ||
chorus |
||
And she'd never put a safetypin through her nose! | ||
Dumpster Luv (to the tune of Jungle Love) | words: Marv Monotone, muzak: Steve Miller Band | |
I met you in somebody's dumpster You thought you had smelled me before I brought you a crate of maggots They waited all night by your door You probably wont remember I probably couldn't forget Dumpster love in the trash And the rotting garbage Everything's better when putrid |
||
Chorus: | ||
Dumpster luv, its making me mad It's making me crazy Dumpster luv - It's making me crazy |
||
But lately you live in a dumpster I never see you alone We need no definite answers So I thought I'd bring you a stone The question to nobody's answer Isn't asked from within But the patterns of life and the lies that they contain Have written a life on your skin |
||
chorus |
||
You treat me like I was your
cesspool You swim in my swill when its warm My cycles of angular motion Leave you to deal with harm You live in a world of illusion Where everything's just the same We all face a putrid conclusion But spend all our time in a mist |
||
chorus |
||
Food | words: Al Duvall, muzak: Al Duvall | |
I've got a new obsession | 3xC - G - 3xF - Bb | |
It's not women or money | ||
It's a craving I get | ||
That special feeling in my tummy | ||
It's food - No substitute | ||
I've got to have it every day | ||
Chorus: | ||
Nothing like a plate of food | 3xE - D - 4xC | |
When you're hungry its better than sex | E - G - A - C | |
Man can't live on life alone | E - D - C | |
Food! Food! It's the best | A - G - A - G | |
I read in the National Star | ||
That food is bad - what a laugh | ||
A new idea whose time has come | ||
I would even wrestle for food | ||
The only reason I eat lunch | ||
Why talk to friends when you have food? | ||
chorus |
||
repeat first paragraph |
||
chorus |
||
Food! | C | |
Food! | C | |
Food! It's better than sex! | C | |

Lost Out | words and muzak: Al Duvall | |

She doesn't care - about your misery | 4xG - 4xD# - 2xD-2xA - 2xBb - 2xF | |
She doesn't know how you want things to be | ||
Something inside - made you wait | ||
Now it's a lesson you learned too late | ||
Chorus (repeat twice): | ||
You sit around | 5xB - 3xA | |
You're holding out | ||
You wait too long | ||
- Lost out | 8 x G | |
You see her through a one-way mirror | ||
You never spoke - but she could hear | ||
You call her a slut - you just can't cope | ||
With the fact that there's no hope | ||
chorus |
||
Why the hell you complaining? | ||
It's nothing ventured, nothing gained | ||
Know all the lines, be cute and sweet | ||
That's all you need - to compete | ||

You never learned | ||
You never try | ||
You never learned | ||
- Lost out | ||
MT-V | words: Al Duvall & AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
Kids today have no tomorrow | 2xE - 2xB - 2xD - 2xA - 8xG | |
Running wild in the streets | ||
If we gave them what they want | ||
We could keep them in their seat | ||
Chorus: | ||
Watching TV's cool again | 2xG - 2xA - 2xG - 2xA | |

Give them what they want to see | ||
Empty, empty MTV | 4xE - 2xG - C - D - B | |

Empty minds and idle hands | ||
We have music on the market | ||

But today we have their minds | ||
We can profit from their boredom | ||
Hang put with us and keep in line | ||

Love | words: Al Duvall, muzak: Al Duvall | |
What is it that makes me act so stupid? | C# - A - Ab - E | |
What screws up all my dreams? | B - A - Ab - Ab | |
What makes me waste all my money?| | ||
Talk to me God, what does this mean? | ||
Love! Love! Love! Love! Scream the song of love | F# - E - E - E - A | |
What is it that makes me sick to my stomach? | ||
Makes me do things I don't wanna do | ||
What the hell is wrong with me | ||
I'll have to think it through | ||
Love! Love! Love! Love! Scream the song of love | ||
I though it was maybe a disease or something | ||
I had this girl to blame for it | ||
I went to see the doctor | ||
He had a name for it | ||
Love! Love! Love! Love! Scream the song of love | ||

Newark's alright if you like the Stone Balloon | ||

Newark's alright if you like odd epidemics | ||

Newark's alright if you like living next to loud idiots | ||
Newark's alright if you like lousy college food | ||
Newark's alright if you like the exciting college scene | ||
Newark's alright if you like George Thorougood | ||

Nobody Listens to the Lyrics Anyway (Dick Clark's Law) | words and muzak: Al Duvall | |
stairway to heaven: 2 x {4xD - D - A - D} | ||
You can sing about girls or you can sing about driving cars | 4xD - 4xA - 8xD | |

You can scream about hate and scream about having a war | D - A - D | |
Just scream it till they cant stand it anymore | G - A | |
Chorus: | ||
No one cares - if you got - something important to say | 4x Bbm - 4x F - 4xD | |
'Cause nobody listens to the lyrics anyway | G -X- 4xA - 8xD | |
You can tell 'em how to kill and tell 'em how to cheat | ||

So what's the use - people just like to hum | ||
Don't pretend your smart 'cuase everyone else is dumb | ||

Love ya baby - let's go out tonight | ||

PACMAN | words and muzak: Al Duvall | |
I dont feel like doin nothin | Amdim D - Db | |
Walk around try to find somethin | ||
My TVs broke what a beat | ||

What am I good at? Wheres my fame? | ||
Ill put money into a video game! | ||
Chorus: | ||
PACMAN its something to do | C - F - E | |

||
Join the crowd
and play the game |
||
chorus |
||
Peer Pressure | words and muzak: Al Duvall | |
If you're not happy as you are | 4xB - 2xC# - 2xF# - 8xA | |
Why don't you get up and go? | ||
You might not like waht you see | ||
For reasons only you can know | ||
Chorus | ||
Do what you must do | 2xE - 2xC# - 4xA | |
Your best friend isn't you | ||
Can't let peer pressure | ||
Block your view | ||
If you want to cut your hair | 2xE - F# - E - 2xG - F# - E | |
If you want to let it grow | ||
If you dont do beer or pot | ||
You hear the laughing - it will stop | ||
chorus | ||
You can stay a stupid punk | ||
You can stay young dumb and drunk | ||
Don't look at the person next to you | ||
He's probably looking back at you | ||
You can join a frat | 8xE - Am | |
Wear a sweater on your back | 8xB - C | |
Hitting keggers - drinking gin | 8xE - Am | |
Just so you can blend right in | 8xB - C | |
Buying fashion new wave clothes | 8xE - Am | |
Spend big money on a pose | 8xB - C | |
All your friends get you stoned | 8xE - Am | |
But don't you feel like a clone? | 8xB - C | |
(dum dee dum) | E | |
chorus |
||
Read and Right | words: AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
I wan't to learn how to read and write | ||
I wan't to learn how to kill and fight | ||
Join the service and earn my stripes | ||
I wan't to learn how to read and write | ||
E 1 2 3 4! | ||
Lost my hair and I lost my cool | ||
Uncle Sam said I want you | ||
Look so good dressed in blue | ||
Lost my hair - I was a fool | ||
I want to fly a fighting machine | ||
I want to be in that combat scene | ||
Drop the bombs and hear them scream | ||
I wanna fly a fighting machine | ||
The Red and the White and the Blue | words: AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
You want to buy the world for yourself | F - FAUG - 2xC | |
With black dollars from the coastal shelf | F - FAUG - 2xC | |
And we must pay what you want us to | G# - F - C - F | |
Cause you're the red the white and the blue | G# - F - G# - Bb | |
Chorus: | ||
The red the white and the blue | Eb - Bb - F | |
Just the red the white and the blue | ||
Rest of the world really hates you | ||
Cause you're the red the white and the blue | ||
Presidents turn their heads when they hear your name | ||
And you bought a Congress to help your game | ||
You bought an Air Force to protect you too | ||
You're the red the white and the blue | ||
chorus |
||
You sell us back the bounties of our land | ||
And whip our backs with an oily hand | ||
Its our mineral rights that interest you | ||
You're the red the white and the blue | ||
chorus |
||
We try to conserve but we cant concede | ||
But you charge us more the less we need | ||
Damned if we don't, damned if we do | ||
Cause you're the red the white and the blue | ||
chorus |
||
Seven Eleven Lover | words: AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
Sev-lev baby I get my Slurpees from you | ||
Drivin' around I can drop in anywhen | ||
Skidding down the street there ain't nuthing to do | ||
Playing Space Invaders over again | ||
Chorus: | ||
Seven eleven's 24 hours a day | C | |
Night people love you, you're somewhere to stay | Dm | |
I'll buy my junkfood from your shelves | C | |
Try to beat the night home by myself | Dm | |
Big gulp beckons with a soda smile | ||
Bright lights fend off the night | ||
National Enquirer cover is really vile | ||
Godzilla and Burt Reynolds having a fight | ||
chorus |
||
The night never makes it through your door | ||
I come to hear your register beep | ||
I like to see those shiny tiled floors | ||
And who ever needs - - - to sleep? | ||
chorus |
||
Seven eleven - lover | ||
Seven eleven - lover | ||
Seven eleven - lover | ||
And who ever needs - - - to sleep? | ||
Shep the Irish Pup | words and muzak: must have been Satan himself | |
Oh Shep was a little Irish pup | C - G - X - C - G - F | |
His master watched him grow up | ||
A finest friend you ever had | ||
His wee friends they were always glad | ||
Fed on fruit and bread and meat | ||
He tagged along a Johnny's feet | ||
His master, he was still a lad | ||
But Shep was older by a tad | ||
His coat was grey and that's a fact | ||
He soon developed cataracts | ||
His sad expression was a sign | ||
That Shep was going to die at nine | ||
The doctor said that Shep was dead | ||
No longer sleep in Johnny's bed | ||
No more fetch a stick | ||
Cause Shep was really sick | ||
Botulism, Botulism, Bolutism | ||
Shit List | words: AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
Chorus: | ||
Shit list, shit list | a capella (or however you spell that) | |
Now I'm on her shit list | ||
Shit list, shit list | ||
And she wont talk to me | ||
guitar into | ||
Silly, silly boy you've really done it now | 2xE - G - F# - C# - C - 2xB | |
You're on her shit list - I don't know how | ||
You can't get off it - so don't cry and shout | ||
Walk around the town, feel so left out | ||
chorus |
||
It's a cryin shame you gotta act this way | ||
Gettin harder to know who's your friends each day | ||
To be on a shit list and never knowing why | ||
Did I say something wrong or wink the wrong eye? | ||
chorus |
||
Its a dull aching pain - it eats me to the bone | ||
And you still scowl at me when we're alone | ||
I really want to know what prompted this | ||
If I can't talk to you, why are you still pissed? | ||
chorus |
||
Silly, silly boy you've really done it now | ||
Silly, silly boy you've really done it now | ||
chorus |
||
Sneaker Heaven | words: AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
Do you know where old shoes go when they die? | ||
They gave you their soles and the best years of their life | ||
But there is some redemption I'm telling you | ||
For the sneakers who's day is through | ||
Bad sneakers go to hell and good sneakers go, | ||
To sneaker heaven | ||
The laces start to rot and the treads get blown | ||
But for footgear there ain't no retirement home | ||
So give them some respect and fling them higher | ||
Above Main Street on the burial wire | ||
Bad sneakers go to hell and good sneakers go, | ||
To sneaker heaven | ||
Boat shoes, hightops you'll find them all there | ||
Dangling by their laces in the cool night air | ||
Above the streets they used to roam | ||
In a place of honor - their new home | ||
Bad sneakers go to hell and good sneakers go, | ||
To sneaker heaven | ||
Student Life | words: Ira S., muzak: Al Duvall | |
Tom meets Sheila at a dance | C - Am - F - G | |
Feeling horny he takes a chance | ||
Come up to my place for some drinks | ||
Okay she says, cute she thinks | ||
In the dorm and up the stairs | ||
Lounge room strewn with broken chairs | ||
In his room they lock the door | ||
Soon they're f**king on the floor | ||
Chorus: | ||
Student life | ||
Student life | ||
F**king students - filthy floor | ||
Frat boys are picking up the whores | ||
When she was young she used to suck her thumb | ||
Now she's on her knees throating down on Tom | ||
A young coed learns the ways of the world | ||
Its girl eat boy and boy eat girl | ||
chorus |
||
Chalk another one up for Tom | ||
In the morning when she's gone | ||
Name forgot and number lost | ||
Three cheap beers his only cost | ||
What is life? Who gives a shit | ||
I never even think of it | ||
Find a hole a stick it in | ||
A lost chance, the only sin | ||
chorus |
||
Trilobites (I Wanna be a Trilobite) | words: Marv Monotone, musak: Al Duvall | |

War Crimes / Your Crimes | words: AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall | |
I got a medal | ||
For shooting a baby | ||
A Communist baby | ||
A threat to our land | ||
And I got a medal | ||
For torching a village | ||
It looked suspicious | ||
Might get out of hand | ||
They gave me a medal | ||
For being a hero | ||
I picked a ground zero | ||
But God said it's okay | ||
I got a medal | ||
For protecting Exxon | ||
Hey don't you see it? | ||
It's the American way | ||
There should be a medal | ||
For not dying guilty | ||
Why should I suffer | ||
And bleed where I fell? | ||
I hope there are medals | ||
When I get to heaven | ||
But there won't be no Russkies | ||
They'll all be in Hell! | ||
Work Buy Consume Die | words: AFTim, muzak: Winslow | |
I got this job and they pay me well
(work, buy, consume, die) I'm preparing for my trip to hell (WBCD) I march to work and to my tomb (WBCD) Just a number from a forgotten womb (WBCD) |
||
Chorus: | ||
Tune in to fade away Just remember to have a nice day |
||
I got money but it don't make me
free Take the wagon to the A&P Got up this morning and I couldn't think My only hope was to have a drink |
||
chorus | ||
The world is sloping and its not my
fault I'm just doing what I was taught Suburban greyness with grass to tend Backed into a corner waiting for the end |
||
chorus | ||
The neighbors are staring, but
they're the same No one escapes the suburban game Shop around, read the chemical signs Processed foods for your processed minds |
||
chorus | ||
Have a nice day! Have a nice day! |
