Minor Disturbance Ep

Teen Idles Minor Disturbance Ep Lyrics
1.Deadhead

Deadhead, deadhead, take another toke
Deadhead, deadhead, you're a lousy joke
Friend of the devil, who you trying to kid
Friends of the devil are dead like Sid

I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
So don't stick around too long

Riding that train high on cocaine
The music is really lousy, the fans are a pain
Troubles behind, troubles ahead
The only good deadhead is one that's dead


2.Fiorucci Nightmare

Fiorucci nightmare, asshole's dream
Spend all your money on the fashion machine
Spots and stripes and spandex pants
Pay a hundred dollars to learn how to dance

Spend fifty dollars on a sweater
Think it's gonna make you look better
See how tight your pants will fit
What you gonna do when they start to split

Learn your fashion from a magazine
Do you rally think you're in our dreams
Down in Georgetown in a fashion race
For the guys to see how high you rate


3.Fleeting Fury

Cries of anarchy, cries of freedom
Cries of fury in the United Kingdom
Started out loud, started out young
Started out poor and just for fun

Tales of youth fighting back
Just another load of crap
The clothes you wear have lost their sting
So's the fury in the songs you sing

Walking with a goose-step, rose up high
Making sure you're seen in the public eye
You're acting mean, you're acting tough
You shoud have been happy with just enough

A loaded pistol at your head
You won't be satisfied 'til you're dead
Playing your game, apparent cheap thrills
An image to live by, an image that kills

There goes your fury, out the door
Don't expect our respect anymore


4.Getting In My Way

My vision's clouded, the sun is dark
I've lost my way, I've lost my mark
Chased by something in another way
Hoping to see the light or another day

Getting, getting, getting
In my way
Broad horizons, but my skies are gray

Getting, getting, getting
In my way
Don't know what it is, but it ain't gonna stay

Blind punches, invisible blows
My patience shortens, my temper grows
I'm taking over, I'm not myself
I'm tired of the cards I'm being dealt

Pissed-off as I should
I can't do all that I know I could
The things I see have different shapes
I can't remember what it takes


5.Get Up And Go

You keep talking about talent
Talent? What do you know?
Instead of studying theory
We're going to get up and go

Get up and go
Get up and go
Get up and go
Get up and go

A bit too much distortion
The feedback hurts your ears
You say we need mors practice
Maybe in a couple of years

We've got no time for judgement
Not interested in what you say
Keep up your verbal criticism
We'll go out and play


6.Minor Disturbance (Too Young Too Rock)

Nine o'clock, no stamp on your hand
It's hard to rock when you can't see the band
You have enough money to pay the rates
But you can't get in because of your age

Minor Disturbance, stopped at the door
Not new to you, cause it's happened before
Friends are on the floor, band is on the stage
You missed another show because of your age

Go down to another part of town
Just so they can't turn you down
Not because of a sold-out house
You're not eighteen and that's what counts

We're too young to rock
We're too young to rock


7.Sneakers

You're sixteen going on thirty-two
Confusion of age surrounding you
Cigarette dangles from your painted lips
You wear the shoe because it fits

Put on your sneakers and be a kid
Why don't you try and have some fun
Put on your sneakers and be a kid
You're not fooling anyone

Why you wanna grow so old, so fast
Let your teenage ignorance last
Put away all those rings and chains
Come back and enjoy the growing pains

When I saw you the other day
You saw me but turned away
Why didn'y you acknowledge me
Was it cause your date was thirty-three


8.Teen Idles

Life has been the same for a long time
Go to scholl and wiTness the crimes
Go home and see it on the evening news
Then we got nothing to do
If there were a concert we would go
Usually end up watching the prime time shows
Hours in front of a t.v. set
We're as idle as teens can get

Teen Idles, Teen Idles
Fuckin' bored to tears
Teen Idles, Teen Idles
Waste of 20 Years

Teen Idles, Teen Idles
Doin' nothing all day
Teen Idles, Teen Idles
Nothing to do anyway

Hanging out at the record shops
Go to a concert the boredom stops
Went to the Bavou they said 'no'
You're not 18 you can't see the show
Went to a movie it was o.k.
Don't want to do it everyday
Hours in front of a t.v. set
We're as idle as teens can get
