Recipe for Bait

We're not metal anymore
We're the punky rockin' whores!
Born to make the girls go crazy

Let us in the latest fad
We'll be the best you've ever had!
Even though we're losers baby!

(This music) scares the hell right out of me!
Even thought it makes you feel alright
You're not punk and you never will be!
And you put a number on us all!

Oh, don't it make you sad?
Oh, don't it make you mad?
It's everything I hate

I'm here lying on the floor
'Cause I can't fake it through the door
I've learned the recipe for bait!

It's everything you're meant to be
Stuff Mom and Dad will never see
My excuses to be lazy!

'Cause we're not babies anymore!
Gonna start a fucking war!
Anything to make you crazy!!

(Generation) X is a consumer fallacy!
(And I hear you say) why push yourself if there's no hope at all?
Well just count the things you'll never be
And pass them over as you fall!

Oh, don't it make you sad?
Oh, don't it make you mad?
It's everything I hate

I'm here, fall inside the door
'Cause I won't hold it anymore
I've learned the recipe for bait!

I've gotta get right to a phone
I can't stand another minute alone
I gotta know who's making it right now!

Hey this is Jimmy Rickles for CFUH radio
And you know this is amazing
We're down here witnessing the phenomenon that is Punky Brüster
All the people here are going crazy and it's just
It's amazing, they sold a hundred thousand albums
In the past two and a half hours
The world is going wild for these guys

You know, I was doing this about 15 years ago
And now they're just capitalizing on
What should've been my money

I can't believe these bloody kids
They think they're punk? That's not punk!
Punk hasn't been punk since WE were bloody punks!

This is crap dude!
You can't just take an attitude
Wrap it up in a little plastic bag
And sell it to corporate America!
That's not punk! Punk is something ya feel!
I was punk 10 years ago, and I'm still punk
Because there's nothing that's gonna stop me from lifting weights
And writing books, and makin' things outta earwax

Yes, well the PMRC quite approves of the new movement
That the young people of today call 'punk!'
It offers more positive solutions to negative problems
That plague society in America today
And yes, for one, I quite like it!

Oh, don't it make you sad?
Oh, don't it make you mad?
It's everything I hate
I'm here lying on the floor
'Cause I can't stand it anymore
I've learned the recipe for bait!
I'm here lying on the floor
'Cause I can't take it anymore
Learned the recipe for bait!
