Electric Needle Room

Walking down the hall to my first class is quite the adventure 
Everyone is staring at me or I think I'm not sure 
A foot sticks out from nowhere and now I am on the floor 
I look up the whole world is laughing I can't take this anymore 

Everything, everything, everything matters in high school 
The way you look, the way you talk, the way you dress, the way you walk 
And I'm going crazy 

After lunch I go up to my crush with confidence 
I invite her to prom and she has not talked to me since 
I will not go to prom alone for I did that last year 
But my self-esteem is crushed I am just not popular here 
(and that's what matters)

I went to the dentist the other day

He said, "Matt, I've got something to say"

"You should floss once a day, to prevent tooth decay! You should floss!"

I went to the supermarket the other day.      The cashier lady shook her head at me and said

"You should floss once a day, to prevent tooth decay! To get rid of gingivitis and reduce plaque! To have your healthy gums back! You should floss!"

I went to church on Sunday.  

The priest pointed his finger at me and said

"You should floss!" 

Well you're trying to run  but you can't get away  

You can hide for years but in the end they'll get their prey 

They're the I.R.S.

So you'll pay your taxes and you'll pay all of your bills

Then you'll go see the doctor and he wants you take pills

So there's insurance

Everyone wants your money

Hahahahahaha Nope, this ain't funny

Even when you're broke they'll keep asking for more

And charge interest, they don't care, they're not poor

They are corporate. They're the government. 

Why do I have to eat? Why do I have to sleep? It takes too much time. Too much time.

Go go don't stop. Shop 'till you drop. Energy drink will get you through.

Look there's fast food. And it's a drive-thru! When microwaves just won't do.

Why do I have to eat? Why do I have to sleep? It takes too much time. Too much time. 

You feel guilty if. You don't multi-task. 'Cause life's just too fast to waste seconds.

When you're too busy. To take a deep breath. I say seperate soul from body.

Why do I have to eat? Why do I have to sleep? It takes too much time. Too much time.

I have a nosehair sticking out of my nose
Everyone is staring the longer it grows
Well it grows it grows it grows
Well it grows it grows it grows
I trim that nosehair but it grows right back
I wish it would cut me some slack
But it grows it grows it grows
But it grows it grows it grows
(here we go) (uh-oh here we go)
It wouldn't be so bad if I had a mustache
Boy that sucker grows really fast
It grows it grows it grows!

You're a midwestern city, you're so out of place, in the middle of nowhere, you dominate. St. Louis, Omaha, Des Moines, and Wichita. Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, yes you're all midwestern cities.                                                            You're a midwestern city, standing tall and strong. All the neighboring farm towns will all soon be gone. You're a midwestern city, always looking to grow. Especially your suburbs, for that will keep costs low.           You're a midwestern city, where it's cheaper to live, but you have the same problems that those coast cities have. You're a midwestern city, a gateway to the West. You don't mean to brag but you know you are the best.  

 Let's manipulate some evidence, and create some truth out of it. We can make everyone believe that we're telling the truth when we're not. Let's push some propaganda. Let's shove it down their throats. Because everyone knows that you all can't think for yourselves.                                                    Our goal is mass hysteria. Let's give them lots to fear. They'll believe every word that we say 'cause there's no way we'd lie about that.

Let's push some propaganda, let's fool them that it's not, because everyone knows that you all can't think for yourselves. 

Mediocre bands all over the place
When I listen to them it's time I waste
I try really hard to give them a chance
But they're mediocre bands that think they're the best

Some say Electric Needle Room
Are so mediocre
Yes this might be true
But at least they try to be original

Just take a look at the mainstream
Cookie cutter copycats
Yes it's as bad as it seems
And yes it's all of your faults

There's this little bar in Omaha At 50th and Saddle Creek They host many indie rock bands Almost every single day of the week We played there two weeks in a row The first show went fairly well But the second show there was no sound guy And I admit that we did not play well Two months later I email them Asking if we can play there again Well I guess I made the booking guy mad Because we never heard from him again Oleaver's Pub Won't Let Us Play There Anymore I guess we're not cool, not hip, not good enough I beg and pleaded for so long For us to play there again But I never got one reply They blew me off again and again I guess it's just politics But they sure acted like elites Well you know what? I don't need them. I can always play at Barley Street. Oleaver's Pub Won't Let Us Play There Anymore I guess we're not cool, not hip, not good enough.

Let's make fun of everybody
It'll make us feel better about ourselves
Let's make fun of everybody
It's not like anyone has feelings

It could be your class or religion
Or it could your ethnic group or even gender

I'll find a different way to make fun of you
My ignorance will guide me through

Let's make fun of everybody
It'll make us feel better about ourselves
Let's make fun of everybody
It's not like anyone has feelings

It could be your abilities
Or it could be the color of your skin

I'll find a different way to make fun of you
My ignorance will guide me through
I'll find a different way to make you feel bad
Make you sad, make you mad, but I'll be glad

Let's make fun of everybody
It'll make us feel better about ourselves
Let's make fun of everybody
It's not like anyone has feelings
Well it's plain to see
That you're not with me
So I'll call you names
'Cause your pain's my gain
I will get you back in the most personal way
