Slogans [live, Philadelphia 1993]

[STAGE BANTER]

WEASEL:  For those of you who want us to go home, uh, and don't know who we are, we're Screeching Weasel, we're from Chicago, and this is "Slogans."

[SONG BEGINS]

Words are stirring, your anger's really burning

You could really use a slogan right now

Eighteen and feeling kinda mean

'Cause you're sick and fuckin' tired

Of being pushed around and around

Up and fucking down

Wanna believe there's an answer?

Well there's not

And the funny thing about it is

That two hours later

They're just words that you seem to have forgot

Don't think about what's right or wrong

(Na na na na)

Just leave the thinking to your boss

(Na na na na)

And do what you're supposed to now

(Na na na na)

Heart is pounding, your feet hit the ground

You wanna see some action right now

Feeling strong, gonna right some wrongs

Gonna raise your banner and stand up tall and proud

Try to tell me ideology has a thing to do with this

Think you're so much different

But you're all on one big fucked up power trip

And I don't really give a shit

(Na na na na)

About your views on politics

(Na na na na)

Now you can finally begin

(Na na na na)'

To feel like you fit in

Don't ever listen to yourself

(Listen to yourself)

You'll fuck it up just like you always do

(Listen to yourself)

Someone will be there to explain your job

(Listen to yourself)

So do it, dummy

Heart is pounding, your feet hit the ground

You wanna see some action right now

Feeling strong, gonna right some wrongs

Gonna raise your banner and stand up tall and proud

Try to tell me ideology has a thing to do with this

Think you're so much different

But you're all on one big fucked up power trip

And I don't really give a shit

(Na na na na)

About your views on politics

(Na na na na)

Manipulated, now you can begin

(Na na na na)

To feel like you fit in
