Hello (10x)

Hello operator- Please connect me
To the human race- I'm disconnected
I don't wanna hang up- Won't you help me
Mrs. O

I had a really bad day- Can't you listen
Everybody's on drugs- but mine won't kick in
Everyon's mad, dumb or wicked
Mrs. O please help, don't go

Hello operator- Please connect me
To the human race- I'm disconnected
I don't wanna hang up- Can't you help me
Mrs. O

Well we're not united- in the USA
Its a total joke- in the USA
I guess my middle finger is my only hope
I wanna live and let live- live the good life
But I'm told no way- where's the good life?
The only explanation is "You'll learn someday"
Not me- No way!

Hello operator- Please connect me
To the human race- I'm disconnected
I don't wanna hang up- Can't you help me
Mrs. O

When you got a bad connection- FIGHT BACK!
When there's no connection- TURN YOUR BACK!
We've got no connection! Turn your, turn your, turn your back!
When there's no connection

Hello?
(Operator) Hello?
Um, yeah I'm trying to
(Operator) Please speak up sir, I can not hear you
Um, yeah I'm trying to get in touch with a human being
(Operator) Please hold I have to get my supervisor
What do you mean?
What?! NO!!

Hello operator- Please connect me
To the human race- I'm disconnected
I don't wanna hang up- Can't you help me
Mrs. O

We are so disconnected- I want some human touch
If I don't get connected I'm gonna cry!

4 people in the club
Ima robot; what, no love?
Backstage she came rolling up
She said, "Do anything and I love ya."

Well, there must be a mistake
Girl, you're way too hot
You could make a million dollars with the face you got
Don't you know my last number was a flop?
She said, "Do anything and I love ya."

Well, I don't do love letters
I'm no good with flowers
If I forget your birthday
Will you still love me?

Well, what are the odds of
One true love?
You say "high"
But I have my doubts

What are the odds of
Me letting you down?
Please don't cry; it's just your love
It creeps me out

Now she can't stop from loving me
Making me food, touching me
I told her, "I ain't got money on me."
She said, "Do anything and I love ya."

Yeah, I know your mom makes fun of me
And you caught your best friend under me
I guess this means you're done with me
She said, "Do anything and I love ya."

Well, I go out all hours
You get strange phone calls
I'm so A.D.D. with you
But you still love me

Well, what are the odds of
One true love?
You say "High"
But I have my doubts

What are the odds of
Me letting you down?
Please don't cry, it's just your love
It creeps me out

You're creeping me out

She don't screw my friends
And she cleans up my house
All of this love girl is creeping me out

She don't screw my friends
And she cleans up my house
All of this love girl is creeping me out

Well, what are the odds of
One true love?
You say "High"
But I have my doubts

What are the odds of
Me letting you down?
Please don't cry; it's just your love
It creeps me out

You're creeping me out
You're creeping me out
Girl, you're creeping me out
Girl, you creep me out.

Every time they bomb a baby I go insane
Breathe it off but don't feel the pain
Start thinkin' to start drinkin'
Numb yourself to kill the brain
But I still got pain; I can't stop the rain
(Can't stop the rain, can't stop the rain)
Fuck that, what about the thriving
but it's hard to be alive
When everybody's just jivin'
All eyes on me, I'm gonna set the truth free
Contradictions

‘Cause it's a cool cool cool cool universe
And all the wonderful things just make it worse
I've gotta (oh oh oh oh oh) it hurts
it's such a cool cool cool cool universe
Aww…

Every time they tell me to vote I lose my hope
You represent me? Now that's a joke
Start rootin' for some shootin'
No solution for what's broke
But I still got hope; I can't shake the hope
(Can't shake the hope, can't shake the hope)
Don't give me the lies
Man, I know there's no rhyme or reason
Still everybody's schemin'
To prove they know the meaning of this big mess
Well, I'm not impressed
Disillusioned

‘Cause it's a cool cool cool cool universe
And all the wonderful things just make it worse
I've gotta (oh oh oh oh oh) it hurts
It's such a cool cool cool cool universe
And it's a cool cool cool cool universe
And all the wonderful things just make it worse
I've gotta (oh oh oh oh oh) it hurts
It's such a cool cool cool cool universe

Oh. Ow.
Stop. It hurts.
Pretty things
make it worse.
Soon ima hit the dirt
So unfair, such dispair.
Poetry, beauty, desperation of love
I'm talkin' ‘bout romance, slow dance, can't get enough
I've climbed all the highest mountains
I've done every drug in reach
I've made love to pretty women
While the sun set on the beach
But no good time goes unmourned
No good heart goes untorn
Good or bad, it's all sad
And my acceptance is born

‘Cause it's a cool cool cool cool universe
And all the wonderful things just make it worse
I've gotta (oh oh oh oh oh) it hurts
it's such a cool cool cool cool universe
And it's a cool cool cool cool universe
And all the wonderful things just make it worse
I've gotta (oh oh oh oh oh) it hurts
it's such a cool cool cool cool universe
Aww…
Break my heart

Julie's clocking out at the station
hurry up and get your pay
a two day vacation
friday, saturday
down in the basement
shower up in the sink
throw on some lipstick and
look pretty in pink
short skirts in the cold
to the club
oh the night is waiting
getting closer you feel it shaking
on the dance floor
this is the beat, the beat we fight to
this is the beat we live and die to
here's to the kids that get it off
we work all week to sweat it off
this is the beat we beat the pressure
throwing away the world with pleasure
we're working hard to burn it off
so dj won't you turn it up
beat beat, beat beat
beat beat, beat beat
Julie's doing shots at the counter
thinking 'bout his great escape
from his stupid job telemarketing
but he never can shake the weight
a little tap on the shoulder
the prettiest girl in pink
"Oh no, I can't dance," he told her
as she dragged him from his drink
freeze frame in the heat
she moved
oh and it's close to shaking
so close but the crowd is breaking
on the dance floor
this is the beat, the beat we fight to
this is the beat we live and die to
here's to the kids that get it off
we work all week to sweat it off
this is the beat to beat the pressure
throwing away the world with pleasure
we're working hard to burn it off
so dj won't you turn it up
and we can be for city boys
and summer girls who dream
just like the kids with chinese rocks
and beating hearts
thank you boys
make some noise
make some noise
this is the beat, the beat we fight to
this is the beat that we get high to
this is the beat, the beat we fight to
this is the beat we live and die to
this is the beat, the beat we fight to
this is the beat we live and die to
here's to the kids that get it off
we work all week to sweat it off
this is the beat to beat the pressure
throwing away the world with pleasure
we're working hard to burn it off
so dj won't you turn it off

. . .


whether we are together
we weather the party together
it's better, better with the lights off
mañana, we don't know what that means
all aboard!

we don't care where we're going as long as we don't arrive
we're all on my bad machine and prove that we are alive
take us on great adventure drive, eskimo drive
party on the eskimo ride

either just jagged a dandy
the ether sticks just like candy
we're passing Pluto
Carl Sagan eat your heart out
la negra, we like the way that sounds
la negra, spasiba, für alles

we don't care where we're going as long as we don't arrive
keep on my bad machine and live a wonderful life
take us to happy endings, drive, eskimo drive
party on the eskimo
we don't care where we're going as long as we don't arrive
we're all on my bad machine and prove that we are alive
take us on great adventure drive, eskimo drive
party on the eskimo ride
have your fun on eskimo ride

. . .


I want the chip off the old block
I want a girl who I can talk to
stumblin' through your neighborhood
defacing walls just like I should

ooh, I wanted to be you
dirty like the skies
you live in space
your life's a waste like mine
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh but what if right before the end we quit
now, why don't we just stop before we die?

we saw our names in the lights
chasing dragons through echo park
raising hell on a quiet afternoon
sandbox heros, we lonely fools

ooh I wanted to be you
take that and put your lips like mine
'cause here in space we're wastin' all our time
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh, but what if right before the end we quit now
die or tell the truth
and don't you lie and tell the truth
before we die
always needed love
all I needed was love, was love
and I always needed you
all I needed was you, was you
was you, it's you
it's you

ooh, I wanted to be you
dirty like the skies
you live in space
your life's a waste like mine
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh, but what if right before the end we quit
let's try
and what if they're right and it's darkest before the light
come on tell me your truth 'cause you see I told you mine
or let's just stop before we die
before we die
before we die
before we die
before we die

Happy Annie
Wakes up scared
It's such a big day
She's unprepared

She's wanted this since
She was a girl
More than anything in
The whole wide world

Go get your Mom's
White Wedding Dress
And play bride with the family pets

In her bedroom
Bells are ringing (oh)
She imagined everyone singing

But she never thought it's this way (this way)
'Cause she loved (she loved)
She loved (she loved)
She loved him

- Oh how she loved
- Look how she loved him

Wake up Tommy
Do you feel the
Pain that you've got inside

Find your Mommy
Spread her legs and
Climb back up inside

Boys who trap
Animals are
Animals themselves

So wakeup Tommy
Don't you know that
You're gonna burn in Hell

But he never thought it's this way (this way)
'Cause he loved (he loved)
He loved (he loved)
He loved her

- Love, love, love
- Love, love, love

Happy Annie
So much pain
She can't break free
From the chain

She's thinkin' bout
What she never did
She wants adventure
But she loves her kids

Love with her man
Has slowly died
Don't talk about it
She'd prefer to lie

In her bedroom
Bells were ringing (oh)
She imagines everyone singing

Wake up Tommy
Can you see the pain
That you caused inside

Look at Mommy
As she finds a
Place for love to hide

Boys who trap animals
Are animals themselves
So set her free and
You will see that
You'll be free as well

But they never thought it's this way (this way)
'Cause they loved (they loved)
They loved (they're lovers)

. . .


We're playing games
I'm not your man
All this romantic shit I can't understand
You say you love me
Well you should know
I got a history of playing it touch and go
Yes, we are friends and we can f**k
And we may learn to like each other
If that's our luck
It's life and death
It's sun and rain
Come on and gamble
We'll dance in the pouring pain

(Chorus)
Swing high, swing low
Dance dance in the pouring pain
Girl, rock to that or rock alone
Dance dance angel for me

Call me your lover
Call me your man
All this possessiveness, I can't understand
I got a name, my name is Alex
You wanna chill with me it won't be in no place
We on the run
The time will come
To ditch the glamour and learn how to handle a gun
I ain't insane it's sun and rain
Come on and gamble
and we'll dance in the pouring pain

Chorus

Dance angel with me
So painful to be

Angel let's tango with rainbows
LIke riders on the
Rainbows we tango like angels we're
Riders, we're riders on the storm

Tracy 2 Step, what a shame
I step 2 step she couldn't hang
Wendy Walts talked the game
Left her crying in the rain
Jen Jitterbug what a dame
3 step 4 step went insane
And none of them know what beauty sprang
And only grows in the pouring pain
Sue Sue, Rockin' Sue 5 step 6 step
Sad and blue
Gorgeous Grace always true till that day
I told the truth
Pretty Paula you had the flame, 7, 8 step
Then the same
And none of them know what beauty sprang
And only grows in the pouring pain

Chorus

. . .


information when we were so young
that we're the nation that's free and fun
information you get on the tube
from the corporations straight to you
medication to keep us numb
to the sodomization of everyone
education to blind and dumb
our generation for years to come

tear it down, I wanna
a new life, I wanna
tomorrow
baby I'm goin down

oh, no no no
no salvation on the corner
oh, no no no
walkin tall with a big boner
it's that time for making love, my friends
so let's go stick it to the man

don't touch that dial!
Wolf Blitzkrieg
the O'Reilly cracker
it's your f**kin house, niggers

the decimation of native land
in the name of the Christian man
soul salvation from religion
just a small donation will get you some
instigation to fight and stop
the castration of our sweet
desperation to learn and talk
our proclamations will be the spark

tear it down, I wanna
a new life, I wanna
tomorrow
baby I'm goin down

oh, no no no
no salvation on the corner
oh, no no no
walkin tall with a big boner

yeah, it's that time for making love my friends
so let's go stick it to the man

. . .


I got a fear in me and I can't get up
Today I woke up crying
Memories of when we were growing up
Yesterday we were flying
But now we are men and we've given up
Tomorrow we'll be dying
But I'm awake again, and I cannot pretend
My silence is my violence

Afraid of - Tomorrow
Afraid of - Pain and Sorrow
Afraid of - Nothing to Follow
Never we know what comes tomorrow

And it's a bleeding ground
It's a screaming sound
Tomorrow, tomorrow yeah
And it's a consequence of honesty
Tommorrow, tomorrow yeah
I've got a feeling I've
Done a mayor change
Tomorrow, tomorrow, yeah
There's got to be a better way
I see a better day
Tomorrow, tomorrow yeah

And the things we can't explain
How the trees grow from rain
Wash the world so clean again

Afraid of - Tomorrow
Afraid of - Pain and Sorrow
Afraid of - Mano a Mano
Never we know what comes tomorrow

What comes tomorrow
What comes tomorrow

Afraid of - Tomorrow
Afraid of - Pain and Sorrow
No future - Nothing to Follow
Never we know what comes
Never we know what comes
Never we know what comes tomorrow!

. . .


Oh babe
the intoxication
Is gone
We got
Morals
But there's no consolation
Where we go
We got
Car crash
Contemplations
And that's wrong
We got
Wrought iron
Aggravations

In this home
We're lovers in captivity
Yes I have her and she has me
Won't you like to come and see the place that we call home?
We're lovers in captivity
We're dying from eternity
Hurry up to come and see the lovely couple moan.

Do you remember when?
Our sweet
Desperation
Was strong
There were hours of
Pure sin
Operation
Uh hu
We never had
Much luck
With all the conversation
Uh uh.
But girl now,
Think it's time
We talk emancipation
From this home

We're lovers in captivity


We're dying from eternity
Won't you like to come and see the place that we call home?
We're lovers in captivity
We're comfortable with enmity
Hurry up to come and see the lovely couple moan
We're lovers in captivity
Yes I have her and she has me
Wont you like to come and see our model bungalow.
We're lovers in captivity
We're dying from eternity
Bring your kids to come and see
This lovely couple moan

Well, it's been fun
Hahaha
I'm only laughing cause I'm nervous
But I do have to say this
Ahem
Bye baby bye bye
I'm going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free
Bye baby bye bye
I'm going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free
Bye baby bye bye
I'm going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free
Bye baby bye bye
I'm going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free

Just called to say
Just called to say
Love you for the rest of my life
It's cold in space
So won't you stay?
I'll always be a lover in captivity.

. . .


Say, can't you see?
The outside is a lie
Come inside - We can hide
Out of reach

And back out the day
We invite you to die
Out of time, out of mind
Trez cool!

(Pre/post chorus)
We're changing
Rearranging
Love with strangers
SUCH A DANGEROUS LIFE!

(Chorus)
If you wanna die
From all the lies
Then say goodbye
Come on, let's go!
For a little ride!
We'd love to help you lose your mind!
Come on let's go!

Post chorus

Say that it's a dream
Tell me I am not involved,
Take my name up off the wall

And I won't scream
'cause tonight this is our world
Forget the war and what it's for
Just shut the door
and lose the key

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Post Chorus

We'd love to help you lose your mind! (x4)

Chorus

DANGER DANGER!
DANGER DANGER!

We'd love to help you lose your mind! (xinfinity)
