Don't Kill Yourself, Kill Your Parents Instead

from Kidnoise by Ripcordz

/

about

At the time, Judas Priest was being sued by some family because their kid was a metalhead who committed suicide. So this is our solidarity with Judas Priest song. (Incidentally, they were eventually found not liable for the kid's death).

lyrics

Can’t understand the way you dress
You lousy slob, you room’s a mess
Don’t like any of your weirdo friends
Get a job, the free ride ends
Why can’t you be just like mom and dad?
Looking so good, follow the fads
Things were so perfect when they were young
No one thought, so nothing went wrong
Home sweet home
All alone, escape the danger zone

CHORUS
All you ever need is just a little time
All you ever get is just the same old line
Take a look around, the madness never ends
Don’t blame yourself, you’ve got nothing to defend
Don’t kill yourself, kill your parents instead

Sit down and get rated, opinions aren’t tolerated
Rules aren’t debated
Think of the mess that could be created
The golden rule, back to school
Train to be a fool

And now a message for all you censors
Kinda wish you’d develop a funny bone
This ain’t no Goddamned li-te-ra-ture
It’s just for fun, why don’t you leave it alone?

Can’t trust anyone at the polls
Plasticized, they’re all too old
Never listen to you anyway
The public trough is where they play, public sough
Where can… where can you turn to now?
