"Trust Your Mechanic" lyrics
"Trust Your Mechanic"
TV invents a disease
You think you have
So, you buy our drugs
And soon, you depend on them
Pain is in your mind
Gotcha comin' back for more
Again and again and again and again
Gonna rip you off, rip you off
Doctor says you need surgery now
You're feelin' good till the side effects
Fuck up something else
You're ensnared by the medicine man
Paying up the ass again and again
Gonna rip you off
Trust your mechanic to mend your car
Bring it into his garage
He tightens and loosens a few spare parts
One thing's fixed, another falls apart
And the rich eat you
A magazine says
Your face don't look quite right
Unless you wear
Our brand-new wonder cream tonight
Never look right again
Unless you grease your skin
Again and again and again and again
Gonna rip you off
Told you're depressed
So, of course, you see the psychiatrist
Right when you hit your neuroses' roots
He confuses you
He fucks your head up worse
Gotcha feeling helpless
You're comin' back for more again and again
Gonna rip you off, rip you off!
Trust your mechanic to make you well
You're seeing an awful lot of him now
The quicker he makes your life fall apart
The more money you put in his pockets
Two, three, four
Trust your mechanic to plug your holes
Trust him to make more somewhere else
Trust your mechanic, he'll always come through
And rip you off

Minor Threat - "Small Man, Big Mouth" Compete, compete, do it for the boys
Empty barrels make the most noise
You're always on the move
You've always got something to prove
What the fuck are you fighting for?
Is it because you're five...
The Damned - "Born To Kill" I get a calling time of day
Beat a lot a lot of crime away
There's nothing baby I can't take
With that crime I'm gonna make your body ache
It's no kind of big deal
No carnegie steal
I don't feel...
The Adicts - "How Sad" A boy loved a girl but the girl said no
She ran away with a handsome Gigolo
He loved her but they were through
So he fed himself to the lions at the zoo
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh how sad
Oh,...
Germs - "Manimal" I came into this world like a puzzled panther
Waiting to be caged
But something stood in the way
I was never quite tamed
I crossed the paths of right and wrong
And saw them take their toll
I saw...
