Songs For Swinging Nice Guys Lyrics

1. Too Cruel

I was there and you were, too

I was like a stupid kid in Sunday school

I hated where I was I didn’t want to go back

And then I heard your voice say, “Relax…

Because I was too cruel

As you were too cruel, too

And I was bleeding on the ground

And you were nowhere to be found

I was there and you were, too

We were making lots of waves in the swimming pool

We were baking in the sun,

Naked, flat on our backs

And then you cut me up with your axe

You were in my underwear

And I was really unaware

Of how you really felt inside

And then I spoke the words that made

you cry

I was there and you were, too

I was lying next to you and then I started to drool

I don’t mean it but I treat you like a piece of meat

2. Mannequeen

It’s time to go to bed and you need to fine a stick

Remove all of your makeup ’cause it’s 7 inches thick

Why do you plaster up your face?

 I’m almost too afraid to ask

You’d probably look as good if you’d just wear a rubber mask

Why are you trying to impress us

With the short lengths of your dresses?

What are you trying to prove

By donning those silicone boobs?

Baked skin is what’s in, so it’s off to the tanning bed

To turn your skin to leather and put scales upon your legs

Your black roots start to show so once again you bleach your hair

A golden crown to wear upon your head that’s full of air!

A mannequin brought to life with a suitcase for a purse

A life built on a lie, you’re riding on the fashion hearse

Rip off your phoney mask, just let it crack and disappear

Peel off your perfect skin and take a good look in the mirror

Who are you trying to impress?

Where is your self-respect?

What are you trying to prove?

We don’t need the Vogue attitude

Mannequeen!!! Mannequeen!!!

3. Teenage Zombie

I’ve been dead for 16 years

And now l’m crying zombie tears

I’m dead-alive, I’m petrified

I’m mummified, I’m on a diet

And it gets so hard sometimes

Yeah, I know so well I’ve died

And I just want to meet you

I’ll try hard not to eat you

I’m tempted by your living flesh

I need it!!!

I’m standing here, you’re over there

A poodle skirt and beehive hair

I wanna hold your hand, please understand

I’m not so bad because I ate your dad

I look outside through watered eyes

My appetite just will not die

I love you so, you’ll never know

I want a date, but I just ate!!!

4. Missy and Johnny

Missy and Johnny’s young, cute as can be

Missy and Johnny’s got a Christmas tree

Missy and Johnny’s got two little kids

Missy and Johnny’s been married 6 years

But now Missy, she don’t love Johnny anymore

And poor Johnny just misses Missy more and more

He’s still in love… She hates his guts…

He wants a kiss but all she gives him is a shove

Missy came home, she said she wants a divorce

Johnny feels like he’s been crushed by a horse

Missy started drinking, found a boyfriend at work

Johnny feels so mad he wants to beat up that jerk

Johnny’s all bitter, he’ll never marry again

He doesn’t want another man raising his kids

He’s gonna move on, he’s gonna be in a band

His troubles disappear with a guitar in his hand

5. Cowboy

Well you call me a queer

Because of the way that I appear

Well I call you a fuck

l’d love to smash your pickup truck

Call all your friends on your C.B.

Laugh and spit and point and make fun of me

You spend too much time down on the farm

Fucking the cows you keep in the barn

Well you call me a threat

Because of the chains around my neck

Well I call you a waste

I’d love to rip the beard off your face

(Honky tonk jamboree)

Well you call me a fag

In the mall behind my back

Well I call you a puke

Your fat-ass wife ain’t Daisy Duke

6. Used To Be Cool

You used to be my friend

You used to be my girl

You used to rule my world

Now you’re too cool for me

You used to be someone cool to me

You used to hold my hand

You used to hang around

But now you just make me frown

’cause you’re too cool for me

You used to wash my clothes

You used to make my bed

You use to shave my head

Now you’re too cool for me

7. Yay Jesus

Spiritual stupidity

In these Christian stores I see

“Jesus Loves You” pink frisbees

Goodness what a ministry

I can’t see people on their knees

Because you wear your Christian tees

This isn’t Christ, it’s Christianese

head up your ass bookstore disease!

Oi! Oi! Yay Jesus!!!

You’re living in your comfort zone

You Dial-a-Bible study from your phone

It’s nice and warm inside your home

While cold outside the homeless roam

You rip us off! You overprice!

Your bibles are $69.95

Plastic Jesus green nite lites

I thank God that I’m not your type

Gee, I really need that Peter puppet

I think the church kids are gonna love it!”

Take your puppet home and fuck it

A lard bucket makes a better puppet

Your Bible bookstores are such a big, big bore

You sell us nothing for much, much more

l’d love to close your stupid doors

But you’d just sav, “Praise the Lord!”

8. High School Sweetie

She was a high school queen, she was a teenage dream

She was the prettiest girl that you’ve ever seen

But now something has changed, she doesn’t want to shave

And now she has a beard just like Mr. T’s

She’s taking welding class, she’s got a hairy ass

She’s got a hot-rod Chevy that she drives real fast

She dates a boy named Sue, he wants a pussy, too

And they’re both really bored with sniffing glue

Life’s never black and white for a Hermaphrodite

Life’s never black and white for a hermaphrodite

She used to play with her dolls

Now she plays with her balls

Life’s never black and white for a Hermaphrodite

She’s on the football team, she’s wearing metal cleats

She’s the whole reason why the team has never been beat

She’s got a jockstrap on, she also wears a bra

You should see the guys staring in the shower stalls

The kids all point and laugh, they’ll never understand

What it feels like to be a teenage feminine man

She wants to be a wife, she wants a normal life

So she chopped her penis off with a Ginsu knife

Life’s never black and white for a hermaphrodite

Life’s never black and white for a hermaphrodite

She used to play with her balls

Now she’s back to shopping at the mall

Life’s never black and white for a hermaphrodite

9. Stacey’s Couch

I called you on the phone

You were eating pancakes all alone

And you were worried about the snow

You told me to hold on so you could change phones

Every time I try to get to you

Something happens and it makes me pout

I want you so bad I’m going crazy

I wonder when I’ll get to see your couch

I was going to see you today

But a blizzard came from miles away

And now I’m stuck inside

Writing this song I hope it makes you smile

Snow, snow go away

Come again some other day

Just go away to Japan

Because I need to hold my dear Stacey’s hand

I used to try so hard to try to get to you

But now l’ve learned to move on with my life

You disgust me with the stupid things you do

I’m so glad I realized that your “Love”was lies!

10. Cash In

Prejudice, hate, and judgment, mixed with fear

Let’s pollute your head with how we think you should feel

A love song to keep your free thinking in line

We’re out to water down your brain, we’re doing just fine

We’ve been working on you since the day you were born

We’re gonna mold you so you won’t stray from the “norm”

Hey nyah nyah nyah FIT IN!

Hey nyah nyah nyah… BE COOL!

Turn the radio on, personality’s gone

Yeah yeah yeah, you’re gone

“Alternative” culture’s destroying our youth

Let’s try to market it, let’s make it cool

We’ll replace “dangerous” bands with some bands of our own

Put some dye on their head, put a ring in their nose

Pump up the drugs ’til the youth become blind

To the fact what they hate’s what’s controlling their lives

Your ignorance has made us rich, we own the superstars’ asses you lick

The more money you spend on us (the majors)

is less money you spend on them (the underground)

Don’t buy records from them!!!

11. Teenaged Punks On Talk Shows

Teenage punks on talk shows are really fun to see

It’s right up there with incest and midget wrestling

They wear their punk rock hairdos, they wear their punk rock clothes

When somebody asks them why, they don’t even know

They make us all look stupid, they make us look insane

I hate it when a shaven head is absent of a brain

Teenage punks on talk shows yell at their moms and dads

They call it “teen rebellion,” it’s just another fad

They wear their punk rock hairdos, they wear their punk rock clothes

When somebody asks them why, they don’t even know

Don’t tell me you’re just being yourself

when you just look like everybody else

If it’s such a statement tell me what you’re trying to say

Stop trying to be just like Green Day!

Teenage punks on talk shows, they’re full of shit to me

Teenage punks on talks shows, they’re dressed up for TV

They wear their punk rock hairdos, they drool on Jenny Jones

When somebody asks them why, they just pick their nose

12. Kitty

This song was written by Michael G Knott and was used because we like the song so much.

The original version appears on Michael Knott’s second solo album, Rocket and a Bomb.

It’s not punk but it’s really good.

13. Yesterday

Yesterday I was happy

Yesterday I was clean

Yesterday I was smiling

Yesterday I could see

I want yesterday today!

Yesterday I was there

Yesterday I was with you

Yesterday I was tearless

Yesterday I was true

14. Better Than Me

Bitch all the time about how everything’s lame

Running your mouth because you know everything

Ugly motherfucker, you’re no better than me

Can’t you see through your hair that you’re not fooling me?

Everyone thinks that your band really sucks

King of the Scene? You’re just King of the Schmucks

Anyone smart knows you’re so full of shit

Zip up your pants, we don’t care about your dick!

Everything in the world, you’ve done it better than me

Everything on the planet, you’ve done it more times than me

15. Somehow

You made my world go ’round

You made it inside out now

You made me make these sounds

You made me want to blow up

You know you do it

You know you do these things you do

You tried, you blew it!

I used to love you so and I guess I still

do somehow…

You were the girl for me

You were just what I needed

Oh yeah, but now I see

I’ve been robbed, pillaged, and cheated

Why do you do it?

Why do you do these things you do?

You know you’re stupid

I used to love you so and I guess I still do

somehow…

You lied to me and now I see that

You’re not for me and now I see that

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong

Maybe this song’s misdirected

I knew it all along

l’d eat these words I’m spraying

You know, so do I, that we can’t escape from the magnetic pull

It grows, increases, it draws me to you although I hate your fucking guts

You stupid slut… you fucking cunt..

I hate you now!

16. Kill Me In My Sleep

I don’t even know why I have a girlfriend my oh my

We’re always in a fight we always make each other cry

You know, sometimes, I think she wants me wants

To go out and hang myself, I think she wants me dead

She says I make her miserable, a bullet in my head

She’s gonna cut my throat someday

because I hurt her oh so deep

She says someday she’ll make me pay

She’s gonna fucking murder me!

She’s gonna kill me in my sleep

I don’t even know what she sees in me, I’m such a slob

We hate each others’ guts, I pinch her butt, she kicks my nuts

You know sometimes, I think she wants me dead

To go out and hang myself, I think she wants me dead

She says I make her miserable, a bullet in my head

She’s gonna cut my throat someday

Because I hurt her oh so deep

She says someday she’ll make me pay

She s gonna fucking murder me!

17. Wimp Boy

Well I’m a wimp boy, a weakling, a nothing, so bite me!

A wimp boy, a weirdo, a bozo, so go home!

No, I won’t fight you ’cause I’ll just get beat up

I’ll fall to the ground in a puddle of blood

Does that make me a fag ’cause I’m not so tough?

Does that make you a man ’cause you fight so goddam rough?

My arms look like they belong Popeye

Beat me up and I’ll probably just cry

You’ve picked on me for enough of my life

I’m not strong now but someday I’ll make you die!

I’m a wimp boy, a retard, a loser, so fuck you!

I’m a wimp boy, a dickless, a chickenshit, so what?!?!

18. Girls Are Always Mean To Me

Girls are always mean to me

They never hardly speak to me

I can’t help it that I’m a geek

With zits on my forehead and cheeks

They’re always throwing rocks at me

Their boyfriends all beat up on me

I’ve got blood on both my knees

From scraping them on the concrete

Whoah-Whoah

And I can’t take it anymore

I’m gonna go find me a whore

The kind of girl who won’t ignore my needs

A girl who won’t ignore my needs

A girl who won’t be mean to me

Girls are always mean to me

They never go on dates with me

Spit in my eyes so I can’t see

Their faces making fun of me

The only girls I get are freaks

Fat girls with braces on their teeth

Broom Hilda’s not the girl for me

’cause I think she’s so damn ugly

Whoah-whoah

And I don’t care about the fee

19. Julie’s Got A Fetus

She’s got a bun in the oven

It’s right where you left it

So why the hell are you running

Away from her?

Sh’e got a gun in her pocket

It’s aimed at your manhood

Funny how your “love rocket”

Caused so much pain

She was everything you needed

She was queen of your back seat

Until you learned she had a fetus in her womb

What will she do?

What will she do?

Sh’e getting bigger and bigger

She’s thought about abortion

Man, she almost pulled the trigger to end it all

She’s still at home with her parents

Mom wants her grand-baby

At school Julie feels embarassed

She’s seventeen

She’s got a job at the bakery

She’s working on the night shift

Man, it’s tough to raise a baby

All by yourself

She’s gonna act a little tougher

Save her tears in a bottle

Never let you see her suffer

It lets her win

Where the hell are you?

20. Froggy

On Friday night she is his date

On Saturday, he thinks she’s great

But Monday morning back to school

He’s way to busy being cool

To notice her

That mixed up girl

She thinks of him

She don’t exist

She’s just a conversation

Fuel for teenage masturbation

High school locker room sensation

But he’s a ‘prince,” a “gentleman”

At least in her imagination

All his friends think she’s a slut

But truth is that have never fucked

They’ve kissed five, six, or seven times

But he’s too busy going blind

To notice her

That mixed up girl

She thinks of him

She don’t exist

But he’s a ‘prince,” a “gentleman”

She’s fuel for teenage masturbation

21. Boy Of The Month

It’s getting close to that time of the month again

No, not your period, it’s time to find a new boyfriend

I’ll take a number and I’ll wait my turn in line

I’ll wait forever, I’ve been waiting all my life

You’re boy crazy, I know it’s true

But I’m crazy, crazy for you

It sounds silly, I know it does

But I’d really just love a month to waste on you

I’ve had a crush on you since 11th grade

And now I’m 20 and I still feel the same way

I’ve never said it, but I’d love to take you out

My heart’s a mess, I’d love your hand to rip it out

I’d love to be Boy of the Month to you

Yes, it’s true

I’d love to be Boy of the Month to you

And see all the stupid things you do

I’d love to be Boy of the Month to you

Yes, it’s true

I’d love to be Boy of the Month to you

I had a dream about you again last night

You finally liked me for the first time in my life

I was so happy just to hold you in my arms

I tried to kiss you then I heard my damn alarm

22. Twenty Years

It’s been twenty years and I’m getting older

Twenty years and I’m going nowhere

Twenty years and I’m growing colder inside

It’s been twenty years and I’m not back in school

Twenty years and I’m tired of being cool

Twenty years what am I gonna do

With my life?

It’s my life!

Fuck this life!

I hate my life!

I don’t wanna sit on my ass

Don’t wanna join no working class

Don’t wanna grow up too fast

<b>I don’t wanna be an adult!</b>

I wondering what I’m gonna be

I’m always broke

I spend my money on tapes,  CD’s and putting out a zine

I don’t wanna fit in your mold

Don’t wanna do the things I’m told

Don’t wanna live life being old

<b>Don’t wanna be an adult!</b>

I know that I’m just a lazy bum

Never held a job for very long

I always quit when I’m just catching on

23. Weiner

I hate this town, there nothing to do

Save for hanging around with a bunch of goons

I play my stereo loud, I shake the walls of my room

I hate this town, there’s nothing to do

Save for hanging around with the local goons

I keep my head to the ground, my ass sleeps ’til noon

And I’m not gonna change nothing

‘Cause I’m too busy being bored

No, I’m not gonna do nothing

I spend too much time drunk on the floor

No, I’m not gonna change the world

I do good just to change my clothes

And I’m not gonna change nothing

‘Cause I’m stuck in the twilight zone

I hate my job worse and worse every day

I’d like to start my own band, but I can’t play

I’d like to write me a zine, but I ain’t got nothing to say

I hate my job worse and worse every day

I’d like to start my own band, but I can’t play

My contribution to the scene is a mere verbal complaint

24. Medicine

It keeps on getting worse every single day

Sometimes I wish you’d pack your bags

And move real far ways

I’m just a boy, I’m not a man

Just take me for the mess I am

Or leave me here all alone

Sometimes I wish you’d understand

Sometimes I just want it to end

Sometimes I don’t want to be friends

I’m feeling all fucked up again

I need to take my medicine!

I wanted to play golf with you again last night

But you said no, so I jacked off,

You turned it to a fight

It’s a guy thing, ask any man

Sometimes I like to fuck my hand

It doesn’t mean you’re ugly

25. Showgirl

Last night I went to Gumby’s

Local club for local dummies

But I couldn’t watch the show

‘Cause she was watching me, oh oh

She looked real cool

She had punk hair

Dyed red in steaks

Just down to there

She had some pretty cool tattoos

I didn’t talk, I wanted to


I wanted to ask her her name

But I just sat there feeling lame

I wanted to ask her out

But I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth

My brain was getting messed up

And my hair was really fucked up

I couldn’t watch the show

She was still there I stood alone

Every time I’d look her way

She’d smile and I’d just turn away

I thought maybe it was the booze

That would attract her to a stooge

But then she walked right up to me

And then she talked to me

I wanted to ask her out

But I could’nt get the words out of my mouth

I spent the night on her friends floor

I’d like to see that girl some more

I’m glad I went to that stupid show

Even though the band they really blowed

But now Gumby’s is closed down

And that cool girl’s from out of town

She’ll never know it now

I really wish she’d stuck around

I wish that she could be around

I wish that we could hang around

I wanted to ask her out

But I never got those words out of my mouth
