Mum Changed The Locks (1998)
Returning home, I look forward to the thrill
Of another lecture or another pointless drill.
Ascend the front steps dreading further war
Why the fuck is my key not fitting in the door?
I guess I'm not wanted, I wonder what I'll do
I've already been banned from my friends houses too.
I wonder what I did to make my mum so mad
No perfect homelife but the only one I had.
Oh my god, mum changed the locks.
Now I've got my freedom but no place to go
No prospects or money to go to a show.
I haven't got on well with my mum all year
Can't use the phone to call my friends for a beer
Hope you don't think I'm rude
Fuck You
Hope you don't think I'm precious
Fuck You
Hope you see I'm well adjusted:
I can't stand the sight of you
Don't wanna be startin somethin
Don't want to antagonise,
All I said was something simple:
I can't stand the sight of you,
I can't stand the sight of you.
Don't believe, don't believe the words
I don't believe all the things I've heard about you.
I will be saying this in your defense:
I'd rather eat a fridge full of arses than know you.
And I've tried with all my might to see past
all you failing but I've failed to give a fuck
You're a fuck-up, you're a joke,
You're a clown, take your pants down,
Get fucked you fucking fuckwit
no you can't move into my house.
With a range of ethics that are quite perverse
You're sitting in the centre of your own universe
Not content to sit upon the fence, you'll fall
either way ignoring common sense
I look into your eyes and seen a haze
of your twisted sensibilities and little saving grace.
[Chorus]
I believe, I believe the words, of your
best friend when he likened you to a steaming turd.
And when he said he wished that you were dead,
It was the most intelligent thing that anyone's ever said.
And I've tried with all my might to see past
all your failings but I failed to give a fuck.
[Chorus ad nauseum]
Can it be true?
I'll leave it up to you
That when you're straight
You're always late
Cause you only like me when you're stoned
You only like me when you're off your face
You only like me when you're stoned
You only like me when you're off your face
Never make a sound
When you're coming down
Only satisfied
When you're high
You can't be blamed
For the stupid game
So if you're all alone
Just pack a cone
Why are you so conservative?
Why have you got nothing to give?
You're so suspicious in every way
Why have you got nothing to say?
Who can you trust?
Why are you always in control?
We used to hide all your stuff away
When i come round wanting to play
You're never open in any way
Why have you got nothing to say
Who can you trust?
Why are you always in control?
We used to have so much fun before you learnt to use your gun
You make me worry 'till i feel sick
I have to run so far away
Who can you trust?
Why are you always in control?
How can you be seeing clearly?
How can you be seeing straight?
Live with me and go your own way
???
Cause if you can't live without me, why aren't you dead?
I never bought you clothes or earrings
I never bought you drugs to taste
That's OK cause friends all told me
You only like me when you're off your face
Don't come crawling back to me cause
If you did I'll have to literally
Sell your stuff, your bed, your clothes
Even your sonic youth CDs
And those stupid little boxes that you keep your jewellery in
I'll send Jahovah's Witnesses around to your house and tell them that you wanted saving
I'll tell them that you always wondered what it's like to be a christian
Then I might come round and kill all your pets and leave them under the staircase
You might wonder what the smell is but you would not find it for weeks
So maybe it would be in your best interest to fuck right off and leave me alone
Maybe you should move to another city, that would be better
Cause if you think that we're good together
You're fucking stupid cause we don't relate
I'd never do anything to hurt you
If I had a shotgun I wouldn't hesitate
I know you're wanting things to change
Why can you see that they're just the same
We could be so strong if we tried
Why can't you just see the other side
There must be a million
There must be a million
There must be a million ways to try
Why can't we talk about what went wrong
When you're face to face with a uniform
I don't have to trust what you believe
It's not that difficult to see
There must be a million
There must be a million
There must be a million ways to try
Why can't we talk about what went wrong
When you're face to face with a uniform
I don't have to trust what you believe
It's not that difficult to see
There must be a million
There must be a million
There must be a million ways to try
