San Francisco
science fiction
so fun -
Speedy, speedy -- freaky tweaky!
A sang-froid
Suck-f-f-f-fuck
so fine, so fine, so fine!
Met the nicest social worker
Just my face/in the mirror
See the lines, feel the chrome,
getting followed by a robot cop
Canned laughter on the train PA --
A secret message just for me!
Got Herb Caen's head in a jar
Guyana trip - went way too far
Last days of the Barbary Coast
-- now you're shanghaied to outer space!
San Francisco's still, still doomed [STILL DOOMED, SO DOOMED]
if you can't pay for a room [GET A ROOM, GET A ROOM]
Stay for a while, but move out soon [SO SOON, TOO SOON]
San Francisco's still, still doomed [STILL DOOMED, SO DOOMED]
I gotta luxury
mortuary
Had a subsidized bohemia
I gotta getta
getta job
I gotta, gotta
so many memories
Seismic shock '89
Hear those hippies moan and whine
Dead ghosts rattle City Hall
Slick Willie missed the call!

TO ABANDON SPACE
02:45
|

I/have read/a bit too much/ science fiction
And can accurately/predict/the course of man/ and machine
One giant/misstep/ for mankind/ to abandon space!
One small leap/for men/to continue/ their mischief!
A technophile’s/naivete/trumps an old spook’s/manipulated fever dreams
Their nightmares: /the true wreckers/of civilization/ and a master plan
Laid out/who knows/ how long ago/ by mythical creatures
Traveling back/in time/from our best/ future imaginations

X-CITY ROCKERS
02:45
|
|||
They can’t stop/the Old Dads ‘84/
or Los Chicas Mohicas/bustin’ down the door/
We’ve got our tools, and our zine archives/
Food in the fridge, a beater car to drive/
We cast our votes/at the town hall/
while the lobbyists lobby/right down the hall/
Trekked back to tract homes/from generations ago/
Sound-proofed the garage/X-City Rockers are go
[1-2-3-4!]
Kids today/don’t know what they’re in for/
when the moms and dads start bangin' out the chords/
This bloody mess - we pass it on to you/
So get wild in the streets -
but don’t drop out of school/
Tonight at 11 we ignore....
The Persons of Interest, Persons Unknown/
Faceless Mask, untraceable voice on the phone/
The drinking brigades, the conscientious rejectors/
Curmudgeons USA, or Utopia’s Defectors/
The Constitution’s Co-dependents/
The Bill of Right’s pill-popping enablers/
as well as the Magna Carta... Historical... Preservation... Society.
