lyrics

WHAT YOU ARE

Seattle flannel suicide gun X-treams
Candy colored Docs and recycled dreams
Cookie cutter kids dressed up in mamma's clothes well

Did your God forsake you?
I did not mean to break you
Another big mistake
You'll never get a clue now will you

Baby sister can't convince her
This deception has no ending
Straight and narrow - do not question
We don't care just tell me what you are

Tell me what you are

So let me introduce the Kids from the cast
Here we go another blast from the past
You'd think the shit you do was never done before well

I don't know how to tell you
I do not want to hurt you
Your TV set now owns you
You'll never give it up now will you?

Baby brother can't convince him
Bored beyond his own complexion
X-Ray tubes are more redeeming
We don't care - we know not what you are

What you are
Tell me what you are
What you are
Tell me what you are
What you are
What you are

Crash the party
Make a citizens arrest
Steal another classic
Put me to the test
I never got this generation X idea
And I know they never gave a flying fuck for me
