Maximum Rock & Roll Magazine Thinks We're Hopped Up On Goofballs

 

some sort of hang-up
or just a mental block
a magazine that wants to playl cop to punk rock
and maximum rock and roll tells the world i smoke pot
fork tongue lies false alibies
thanks a lot

you won't eat meat
but you'll kill a cow
blood upon the street capped doc that you bought from the mall somehow
lace up your red or white or blue symbols
paint yourself into a corner on the cover of your next issue
shaky codes
misuse your laws
like fake tattoos and swastikas
my hairdo make you think i'm hopped up on those damned goofballs
while your circulation falls

so a movement's not dead no it's not
you shot it in the head with that mouth you got
maximum rock and roll says i smoke the pot
i never have never will
but do you feel better while you're throwing lies my way
and is it such a bitter pill
smoke screen gossip so your flock won't say goodbye

you won't eat meat
but you'll kill a cow
with your steel capped doc from the mall
somehow you got your red or white shoe laces
and codes and laws
and fake tattoos and swastikas
bringing down your own movement but claim i'm high
won't look in the mirror
but you'll print the lie
arrogance of the captain on a sinking boat
as you choke the life out of your own movements throat
judge a book by cover that you never see
publish up a lie when you don't know me
all based on some bunk scoop you got
how many others do you lie about
are there a lot
never have never will
but do you feel better when you're throwing lies my way
and is it such a bitter pill
smoke screen gossip so your flock won't say goodbye

fake tattoos and your swastikas
OI! OI OI!
