Reagan Youth : Live at CBGB's Vol. One

Lyrics


1. DEGENERATED

What's Johnny doin' out on Tuesday night?
When Johnny can't read and Johnny can't write
Johnny just don't understand
Johnny don't care about this world
As long as he can fuck his girl
And prove that he's a man

Johnny wastes his days eatin' ludes
He's a teenage vegetable
Getting high proves that he's cool
Johnny hates to think, he's ignorant
He's a mindless brainwashed pig
Ring a bell, he starts to drool

Degenerated! Degenerated! And you minds have vegetated!
Degenerated! Degenerated! And your thoughts are constipated!

He's got P.C.P. in his veins
He's got a void in his brain
He's addicted to the T.V.
And when he's old, he's gonna have a son
They'll both grow old deaf and dumb
What's to become of young Johnny ?


2. GO NOWHERE

You're a gonowhere! And you don't care!
You're a gonowhere! You're not even there!

Living your life on the conveyor belt
No time to think so your brain just melts
No destination you're lost inside
Standing still, deaf dumb and blind! Go!...

A whole generation of gonowheres
The living in 3-D life
A whole generation of stagnant lives
Standing still, deaf dumb and blind

You're a gonowhere! And you don't care!
You're a gonowhere! You're ing lost!


3. I HATE HATE

I hate up and down
I hate hangin' round
I hate here and there
I have everywhere
I hate this and that
I hate where I'm at
I hate near and far
All you hate is all you are

Why waste the life you live
Hate makes waste - I'm positive
Why hate the live you live
Life's to love - I'm positive

I hate 1 & 2
I hate the world and you
I hate a to z
I hate the life in me

Why hate the life you live
And hate yourself on top of it
Why waste the life you live
Life's to love - I'm positive

I hate hate
I hate hate
I hate hate

Is life a losing war
There's nothing worth fightin' for
You don't have to lose no more
Stop lovin' hate
And hatin' love
When the fighting ends
The war is won

Stop lovin' hate
And hatin' love
When the fighting ends
And all is one

I hate hate!


4. U.S.A.

In U.S., A's for apathy
Not bullshit democracy
Red white and blue is all you see
But does it mean you're really free?

In U.S., A's for anarchy
Not bullshit democracy
I want total liberty
I want peace and anarchy

They tell us how to act and be
Fuck that mental slavery
With standards and authority
How can you think you're really free?

Do what you want be what you be
Don't fall for their hypocrisy
Open you mind! Wake up and see!
True freedom is anarchy


5. BRAVE NEW WORLD

Oh, brave new world
That has such people in it
How beauteous mankind is

Oh, brave new world
That has such robots in it
How beauteous mankind is

I see a perfect alpha-plus
I see an epsilon-minus
Everybody in their place
I take a soma holiday
To be born without face
Problems conveniently erased
And the matter of and play
I take a soma holiday
Is this utopia, the dream of mankind?
Livin' your life on a factory line
Is this utopia, the dream of mankind?
Livin' your life from nine to five

And the word was given,
That Babylon was destined to fall,
So hear the word and remember now...

Ending Is Better Than Mending,
Ending Is Better Than Mending,
Ending Is Better Than Mending,
[Whispered]
Ending is better than mending...


6. URBAN SAVAGES

We're urban savages, no one can manage us
We're gonna hit the street
We're urban savages, no one can manage us
We gotta rock the street

Locked inside your city like I'm locked inside your cage
Capitalist corruption polluting up my brain
Put locks on your cities, put locks on your stores
Gonna burn your city down right on the floor

Locked inside a city like a bird locked in a cage.
Capitalist corruption turning into rage
Put locks on your cities and locks on your floor
Gonna burn your city down and I'm no fool

Trapped inside a system like a bird locked in a cage
Capitalist corruption has got me turning up in pain
Better lock up your system, better lock up your door
Gonna burn your city down onto the floor

Escape!
