Lyrics

1. SCHOOL'S OUT

Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
Cause they found new toys

Well, we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Well, we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
My school's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not come back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely


2. LOONEY TUNE

I slipped into my jeans
Lookin' hard and feelin' mean
I took a spit at the moon
It's all in this luney tune

Just a little insane
A couple of shots, I can't feel no pain
Hey, where have I been?
And who are these scary men?

Is this all real?
Is this all necessary?
Or it this a joke?

Many know
I don't regret at all
They locked me up for good
Pinned me against the wall

I can't find the exit
I quit lookin' for doors
I stole a razor from the commissary
I just couldn't take it no more

I'm swimmin' in blood
Like a rat on a sewer floor
No longer insane
Just part of this crazy dream


3. GUTTER CATS VS THE JETS

I met an alley cat
Pussyfootin' around
Till the break of dawn
Found me knocked out flat on my head

Some feline beauty
Waved her tail my way
I just had to stay
I couldn't get the blood off my hands

She made my eyes bug out
Her tail stand up
And I ain't even in heat for a month

Meow
House cat
You really got it made
Sleepin' all night
And perfect delight of day

Some feline beauty
Waved her tail my way
I just had to stay
I couldn't get the blood off my bed

She made my eyes bug out
Her tail stand up
And I ain't even in heat for a month

Meow
Mrreow
Meow
Meow
Meow

Some bad cats from 4th Street
Come down to our alley
Well, we say that's cool
But just stay away from me and my boys

Eyes clash
And claws slash
And green-eyed fur goes flyin'
Midnight
Cat fight
Neck bite
Die

When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way
From your first cigarette till your last dyin' day
When you're a jet, let 'em do what they can
Little boy, you got friends, you're a family man
The jets are in gear
They're always well respected
You're never alone
When company's expected
You're well-protected

Here come the jets like a bat out of hell
Somone gets in our way
Someone don't look so well
When you're a jet you stay a jet


4. STREET FIGHT

(Instrumental)


5. BLUE TURK

Blue hot
I'm lazy
You know it
I'm ready for the second show
Amazing
Thing growing
Just waitin for the juice to flow

But you're so very picturesque
You're so very cold
Tastes like roses on your breath
But graveyards on your soul

I'm hurting
I'm wanting
I'm aching for another go
You're squirming wet, baby
Nothing bad comin' very slow
And it's burning holes in me

You're so very picturesque
You're so very cold
It tastes like roses on your breath
But graveyards on your soul

Whoa...
Mmmm

One spastic explosion
Two pressure cookers go insane
It makes me act crazy
I shiver, but I love this game

You're so very ordinary
You're so very lame
Tastes like whiskey on your lips
And earthworms rule your brain


6. MY STARS

My stars
So far
No one's callin' me home
Space brain
Vagabond
Livin' on my own

Come all ye faithful
You know all you people should come to me
I'll make you arms work
And I'll make your legs work
I'll make you see
Ladada...

Well, I swear by the air
I'll be made to breathe
You'll pay very dear
For this banishing deed
The power alone
Stored in my little hand
Could melt the Eiffel Tower
Turn the Sphinx into sand

Oh no
Thar she blows
Spreadin crazy news
All night
Cannonball
Loves to light the fuse

And everyone blows up
And nobody grows up to fill Dad's shoes
But that doesn't matter
Cause no little boys really wanted to
Ladada...

I stared at the squall line
I stared at the fault line
I see a funnel black there
I think I see a crack there
Landscapes alive
And it's movin my feet
All I need is a Holocaust
To make my day complete

Klaatu
Barada
Nikto


7. PUBLIC ANIMAL

(Hey hey hey)
Me and G.B., we ain't never gonna confess
We cheated at the math test
We carved some dirty words in our desk
Well, now it's time for recess

Old man waitin' by the monkey bars
Tradin' all his ball cards
And they promised him a gold star
And they told him he could go far

Hey Mr. Bluelegs
Where are you takin' me?
I'm like a lifer
In the state penitentiary
If I keep my nose clean
I won't get my eyes shined
But I'm proud to be
Public animal number nine

License plates are, are runnin' out of my ears
I'd give a month of cigarettes for just a couple of lousy beers
Or even a bottle of real cheap wine
But that's the price you pay to be
Public animal number nine, number nine

Hey Mrs. Cranston
Where are you takin me?
I feel like a lifer
In the state penitentiary
She wanted an Einstein
But she got a Frankenstein
Yeah, I'm proud to be
Public animal number nine

Public animal number nine...


8. ALMA MATER

Rain is falling down my cheek
Searching for the sea
Tomorrow, like the rain
I'll be back home again

I watch the bus
As it pulls out of view
Someday like that bus
I will be leavin', too

But you know it breaks my heart to leave you
Camelback, my high school

And now, alone
Cryin in my beer
Cause old friends said goodbye
I guess I'll be leavin', too

But you know it breaks my heart to leave you
Cortez, I'll miss you

Yes, I will
Yes, I will
You know I will

Yes, I will
Yes, I will
You know I will

Well, so long everybody
I hope that I would see you again
Goodbye everybody
I finally grew up
They finally let me out of school

Hey, remember the time, member the time
We took that snake and put down little Betsy's dress?
Now, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Now, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Well, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed

Oh, goodbye everybody
I hope that I would see you again
So long everybody
How do you like that?
They finally let me out of school
Goodbye
Ah, I wanna get out of here
They let me out of school
How 'bout that, uh?
Goodbye
Hey, goodbye guys
Maybe I'll see, maybe I'll see you around some time, uh?
'Ay, don't make a stranger of yourself, uh?
Remember the Coop, uh?
May, I ho, I hope you don't forget me or nothin'
Goodbye
