Staring At The Wall 02:11
lyrics
buy track
Got no vision at all No ambition at all No car to take to the mall I've had no cash since sometime late last fall Got no mission in life But to listen to Shonen Knife Watching Gilligan's Island In my jeans you'll find my hands Now a word from our sponsor: You want a great career? Program VCRs, drive rigs Or maybe gun repair? I don't care I just stare at the wall Staring at the wall Staring at the wall I try to say, "I can!" But I just can't get up and clean that pie pan Maybe When I'm 33 I'll go out and earn my G.E.D. Once applied for a job but they won't return my call They shut off my cable Electric, gas and all And my furniture's been moved to a truck that's marked, "U-Hall" So I just stare at the wall Staring at the wall Staring at the wall I have no equal when it comes to Staring at the wall (4x) wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall-wall wall!

Guaranteed Hit 02:19
lyrics
buy track
I wrote a song It isn't very long but I took such cautious effort that it just can't go wrong. My backup band is good Singing only when they should They'd play better If one possibly could (Possibly could) You'll effectively Enjoy the melody It's been scientifically tested to appeal Cross-demogrqphically We're slick marketeers (Oh, yes) We'll date Britney Spears The press will love to publicize us Like no one's been in years Oh, baby... We don't resort to subliminal tracks That's an underhanded disgrace So we threw discretion our the door And sold product placement space Sold product placement space Buy Pepsi! Buy this score at the music store But wait! There's a whole lot more We've obscure mixes galore For you to procure We've researched the other smashes They lack genius or wit Still we distilled and combined their secret traits To create the next guaranteed hit The next guaranteed hit You cay it can't be done But when we're number one For the next fifty years, you'll wish (Number one) For the next fifty years, you'll wish (Number one) For the next fifty years, you'll wish You fired that gun Fired that gun And this song is done.

Cell Phone 03:20

I am never alone When I am with my cell phone I can call you broadband From the palm of my hand When I am with my cell phone I am never alone From the palm of my hand I can call you broadband With my cell phone With my cell phone I am never alone When I am with my cell phone Through my digital line I'll interface any time When I am with my cell phone I am never alone interface anytime From my digital line With my cell phone With my cell phone Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Turn on the juice Watch movie clips When not in use Clip to my hip When I am with my cell phone i have total access To arcade games and the bank News, weather and IRS When I am with my cell phone I feel snug and secure I can reach out and touch From the 83rd floor With my cell phone With my cell phoone Ah ah, etc.

AID$ Quilt 02:28
lyrics
buy track
As I sit on the toilet just-a taking a doo-doo I realize I'm all fresh out of toilet tissue CHORUS: Hand me the AIDS Quilt I gotta wipe myself Hand me the AIDS Quilt I gotta wipe myself Hand me the AIDS Quilt I gotta wipe myself Hand me the AIDS Quilt Right now They say you can't get AIDS from a toilet seat NO Nor can you from the bit of a mosquit... O CHORUS We AIDS groups want from you millions in cash, please But don't you think we'll use it to fight the disease 'Cause if we found a cure Well, then we'd be poor CHORUS ANOTHER CHORUS

Desktop Pop 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Who needs a multi-million studio When it's costing me a hundred dollars or below A tape recorder with condenser microphone And a Casio keyboard are all that I own A click of a mouse A press of a button Composing hot tracks And it's costing me nuttin' CHORUS: Desktop Pop Desktop Pop (4x) The drum loop is synced to a droning bassline And I manage to write lyrics that happen to rhyne Repeat the same notes again and again and again and again But be sure to program them to change now and then Don't have to be clever Don't have to be witty It's okay if it sounds Like a Windows-based MIDI CHORUS You don't need some kind of music degree Just a sequencer manual and reading ability i pressed all the right buttons, and oh, by the by I'll tell my good friend Grammy that you said hi. Don't need talent Don't need wit Don't matter if it sounds Terrible CHORUS
