Dance Yourself to Death

Gabriel Mann


My Liberated Parents 
They're Going Out Tonight 
They Read the Happiest Magazines 
They've Loosened Their Uptights 
Dad's Wearing Real Tight Levis 
And Some Gucci Tennis Shoes 

He's Got a T-shirt Custom Made For Him 
Sayin' 'give Me Pot Not Booze' 

I Get a Kiss Goodbye 
I Get All Numb and High 
From All the Smoke Left On Their Breath 
I Smile and Wish Them Well 
Then I Pray Like Hell 
They Go and Dance Themselves to Death 

Mom's Hair's All Green and Dirty 
She Wears a High-tech Devo Suit 
She Changed Her Name to 'xerox' 
She Hides Quaaludes in Her Boots 
Oh, Me, I'm Real Embarrassed 
When I Hear the Things They do 
They Kinda Compromise My Social Position 
My Coolitivity Is Suffering Too 

Come On Momma, Come On Daddy 
Come On Skinny, Come On Fatty
