1.POLICE TRUCK
Tonight's the night that we got the truck / We're goin' downtown, gonna beat up drunks / Your turn to drive, I'll bring the beer / It's the late late shift no one to fear / And ride, ride how we ride / We ride, lowride / It's round-up time where the good whores meet / Gonna drag one screaming off the street / And ride, ride, how we ride / Got a black uniform and a silver badge / Playin' cops for real, playin' cops for pay / Let's ride, lowride / Pull down your dress here's a kick in the ass / Let's beat you blue til you shit in your pants / Don't move, child, got a big black stick / Theres six of us, babe, so suck on my dick / And ride, ride, how we ride / Let's ride, ride, how we ride / Let's ride, lowride / The Left newspapers might whine a bit / But the guys at the station, they don't give a shit / Dispatch calls, Are you doin' something wicked? / No, siree, jack, we're just given' tickets / As we ride, ride, how we ride / Let's ride, lowrid

3.CALIFORNIA ÜBER ALLES
I am Governor Jerry Brown / My aura smiles / And never frowns / Soon I will be President / Carter power will soon go away / I will be Führer one day / I will command all of you / Your kids will meditate in school / Chorus: California Über Alles / Über Alles California / Zen fascists will control you / 100% natural / You will jog for the master race / And always wear the happy face / Close your eyes, can't happen here / Big Bro' on white horse is near / The hippies won't come back you say / Mellow out or you will pay / (Chorus) / Now it is 1984 / Knock knock at your front door / It's the suede/denim secret police / They have come for your uncool niece / Come quietly to the camp / You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp / Don't you worry, it's only a shower / For your clothes here's a pretty flower / Die on organic poison gas / Serpent's egg's already hatched / You will croak, you little clown / When you mess with President Brown / (Chorus)

13.STRAIGHT A'S
Sixteen, on the honor roll / I wish that I was dead / Parents hat me, I got zits / And bruises 'round my head / Pressure's on to get good grades / So I can be like them / Do my homework all the time / I can't go out just then / People they ain't friends at all / They tease me and suck me dry / Yell at me when I fuck up / And party while I cry / I look so big on paper / I feel so fucking small / Wanna die and you don't care / Just stride on down the hall / Suicide, suicide / Read the paper, wonder why / Turn the light out, then you cry / It's your fault, you made my die / Touch me won't you touch me now / So frozen I can't love / When I was born my mama cried / And picked me up with gloves / Girls, they kick me in the eye / Want answers to the tests / When they get them they drive off / And leave me home to rest / Hold my head / Make me warm / Tell me I am loved / Give me hope / Let me cry / Make me feel / Give me touch / The window's broken, bleeding screaming / Lying in the hall / I'm gone no one remembers me / A picture on the wall / He was such a bright boy / The future in his hands / Or a spineless human pinball / Shot around by your demands / Suicide, suicide / Goin' to sleep and when I die / You'll look up and realize / Then look down and wipe your eyes / Then go back to your stupid lives / Aw shit
14.KINKY SEX MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
Greetings this is the Secretary of War at the State Department of the United States We have a problem. The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic situation profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property. It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job It's about time we did something constructive with these people We've got thousands of em here too. They're crawling all over The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together - start another war The President? He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro Napalm People running down the road, skin on fire The Soviets seem up for it The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years: Hell, Afghanistan's no fun So whadya say? We don't even have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population Now look. Just start up a draft: Draft as many people as you can. We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some speed, give em an hour or tow to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send em on their way Libya? El Salvador? How bout Northern Ireland? Or a moderately repressive regime' in South America? We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East - we need that oil We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up. I tell ya That man in unreliable. The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one Now just think for a minute - we can make this war so big - so big The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queues if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls Now don't worry about those demonstrators - just pump up your drug supply. So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. Kept the war functioning just fine It's easy. We've got out college kids so interested in beer they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn't even know what oit looked like So how bout it? Look - war is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going to collapse The Soviets are in the same boat. We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!? that's excellent. We knew you'd agree The companies will be very pleased.
