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

Harrington Beach Blanket Bingo words and muzak: Al Duvall

Join The People (Who Joined the Army) words: Al Duvall & AFTim, muzak: Al Duvall

Sitting in this Army base
My college days I can’t erase
Goin to school ain’t no excuse
To skip the draft – this ain’t no truce
Any place is fighting ground
Where Soviet forces can be found
Hey! We’re all Americans
We’re gonna stay any where we can!

Chorus:

I wondered what those tanks are for
And all those jets – I wasn’t sure
Eight years since our last war
Hey, were in El Salvador!

We know the draft’s just a precaution
We should be prepared, it’s really nothing
Climbing mountains, shiny gun
College was never this much fun
What are all these demonstrations
When we all get a paid vacation?
All my friends are leaving fast
I’m glad I took a Spanish class

chorus

I should have taken military science
Learn to work a war appliance
I’ll be gone after this year
They gave me a brand new career
I’m pretty sure they’re gonna send us
The only ones that will defend us
But my life isn’t over yet
With any luck I’ll be a vet

chorus

Lost Out words and muzak: Al Duvall
3 x {4xB - 4xA - B - A - B - A - 8xG}
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

chorus

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
Fill their idle hands
Give them what they want to hear 2xB - 2xC - 2xB - 2xC
Give them what they want to see
Empty, empty MTV 4xE - 2xG - C - D - B
Empty, empty MTV
Kids today have no tomorrow
Empty minds and idle hands
We have music on the market
They will like to buy these bands

chorus

Kids today have no tomorrow
But today we have their minds
We can profit from their boredom
Hang put with us and keep in line

chorus

Reo and Rush 4xE - 4xB - 8xD  (MTV theme music)
You will stay with us
There is no escape F# - C# - E
From the videotape
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 Mainstreet) words: Marv Monotone, muzak: Fear
Chorus:
Newark's alright
Newark's alright
Newark's alright - If you like Main Steet
Newark's alright if you like drunk college kids
Newark's alright if you like southern rock cover bands
Newark's alright if you like freezing to death
Newark's alright if you like the Stone Balloon

chorus

Newark's alright if you like townies at Sam's
Newark's alright if you like walking everywhere
Newark's alright if you like crowded bars
Newark's alright if you like odd epidemics

chorus

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

chorus

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

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

chorus

Baby baby baby yeh yeh yeh
La la la la la la la la la
Israeli jets - rock and roll all right!
Love ya baby - let's go out tonight

chorus

PACMAN words and muzak: Al Duvall
I don’t feel like doin’ nothin’ Amdim – D - Db
Walk around – try to find somethin’
My TV’s broke – what a beat
Can’t stand the quiet – hit the street
Always screwing up at school and work
Gotta show everyone I’m not a jerk
What am I good at?  Where’s my fame?
I’ll put money into a video game!
Chorus:
PACMAN – it’s something to do C - F - E
PACMAN – just a quarter or two
PACMAN – time flies past
PACMAN – it’s a blast
Just hoping that my money lasts

So now I found a substitute for life
A steady way to waste my time
In time I had to keep it up
All summer I couldn’t get enough
You can play it anywhere
Put the quarter in and stare
High score makes me feel great
Reality – just cant wait

chorus

Join the crowd and play the game
You’ll lose your mind, you’ll lose your name
Buy the shirts, the mug, the cap
Blow your wad on all that crap
Play it at the beach or A&P
Buy Atari – play it on TV
Be a zombie in your own home
With Pac-man you are never alone

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

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

You’ve all heard of trilobites
Swimming around – sifting the mud
Owning the Cambrian Sea
Well that’s me

Chorus:

I wanna be a trilobite
I wanna be a trilobite
Trilobite, trilobite - That’s me

I need a cephalon and a thorax
I need a pygidium and telson too
Genal spine, pleural lobe
I just need the right parts

chorus

I wanna be any ole trilobite
Redilichia, opistiparian
Agnostida, protoparian
I just need the right parts

chorus

(long version contains certain portions of Alley Cat and Marv doing the worm dance on the floor whilst hooked to Wilma the synthesizer)
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!
