LORD GRUNGE:
sweet greasy hair and sweet grimy clothes
it was the year punk broke
in the year of our lord grunge
yeah yeah yeah no no no no no
yeah yeah yeah no no no no no
out on the west coast
Black Sabbath, Black Flag; meet the Beatles
it was the Seattle sound that made me proud
in the year of our lord grunge
yeah yeah yeah no no no no no
yeah yeah yeah no no no no no
smashing our instruments ala the who
diggin' on Keith Moon
and the voice of John Lennon
lumberjack rock star
jaggin' in the audience's mouth
it was the year punk broke
in the year of our lord grunge
yeah yeah yeah no no no no no
yeah yeah yeah no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no

RAPED:
everyone's makin’ a big deal
out of the fact that I raped
someone
what's the crime? i had fun
someone put me away
someone punch me out
someone let me play
let me get it out
after all she was a nun
and the priest wanted to watch
everyone’s makin' a big deal
over the fact that we raped someone
what's the crime we had
someone put me away
someone punch me out
someone let me play
let me get it out
after all she was a nun
and the priest wanted to watch
everyone‘s makin' a big deal
over the fact that we raped someone
what's the crime?
someone put me away
someone punch me out
someone let me play
let me get it out
everyone’s makin' a big deal
out of the fact that i raped someone
what's the crime?
what's the crime?
what's the crime i had fun

WEIRD ON THE AVENUE:
i think the handcuffs are a bit much
i don’t recall ever losing my touch
but just to hold you wouldn’t be fair
not only cavemen enjoy pulling hair
there’s a tattoo parlor down the street
a tattooed face often does look so sweet
they call it weird on the avenue
with all that's been done now what could be new?
they say you're a ten
i guess that means
ten dollars a night
your piercings say you’re on a crusade
but down that street baby there's no parade
they call it weird on the avenue
with all that's been done now what could be new
they say you’re a ten
i guess that means
ten dollars a night
i see your neck has found a noose
i’m not a cop, haven’t lived your abuse
the avenue has led me to here
i’m holdin' back all my tears for you Weird

STARBOY:
executive with his pants down sittin’ behind a desk
how bad do you wanna be a star boy?
be a starboy
that mansion on that hill could be yours, fancy cash and girls
how bad do you wanna be a star boy?
be a starboy
finish me off undo yourself, put this heroin in your arm
you’re on your way
i think we can do business boy, it’s a crazy business but it’s worth it
how bad do you wanna be a star boy?
be a starboy

I ONLY PLAY 4 MONEY:
i don't do interviews
i won’t sign autographs
don’t you love the star
when he's a prick
i only play for money
i don't give a fuck about the fans
i only play for money
i don't give a shit if you dance
‘cause you're diggin' on the star
‘cause you're diggin' on the one who's gone so far
if you take my picture your camera's smashed
if you send me fan mail i won't write back
don't you love the star
when he's a prick
i only play for money
i don't give a fuck about the fans
i only play for money
so keep your autograph books at home
i don't give a damn
cause you're diggin' on the star
cause you’re diggin' on the one who's gone so far

STARGIRL:
the sky don't need you anymore, and neither do i
stargirl you must go
you used to joke about the dark, but now you've fallen too
stargirl the sun is out and
stargirl you won't be seen
stargirl a dream's a dream and
stargirl you've had your dream
i used to clap when you would shine, but now that i am bored
stargirl you must go
