Veruca Salt - Straight lyrics

[Verse 1:]

That's Great, It starts with an earthquake

Birds and snakes, An Aeroplane

And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, Listen to yourself churn, World serves it's own needs

Dummy, Serve your own needs

Feed it off an aux speak, Grunt, No, Strength

Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height

Wire in a fire, Representing seven games, A government for hire and a combat site

Left of west

And coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck

Team by team reporters baffled, Trumped, Tethered cropped

Look at that low playing, Fine, Then, Uh oh, overflow

Population, Common food, But it'll do

Save yourself, Serve yourself, World serves it's own needs

Listen to your heart bleed

Dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right, Right

You vitriolic, Patriotic, Slam, Fight, Bright, Light, Feeling pretty psyched

[Chorus:]

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

[Verse 2:]

Six o'clock - TV hour, Don't get caught in foreign towers

Slash and burn, return

listen to yourself churn

Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting

Every motive escalate

Automotive incinerate

Light a candle, light a votive

Step down, step down

Watch your heel crush, crushed

uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier

Renegade steer clear!

A tournament, A tournament, A tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide

Mount St. Edelite

Leonard Bernstein

Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs

Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!

You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right?

Right

[Chorus]
