Dead Kennedys - Halloween lyrics
[Dead Kennedys - Halloween lyrics]
So, it's Halloween and you feel like dancing
And you feel like shining
And you feel like letting loose
But what are you gonna be?
Babe, you better know and you better plan
Better plan all day
Better plan all week, better plan all month
Better plan all year
You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that
I can see your eyes, I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
I can see your eyes, I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
Because you're hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow your mold goes back on
After Halloween after Halloween
You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow shitfaced tonight
You'll brag about it for months
Remember what I did, remember what I was
Back on Halloween
But what's in between? Where are your ideas?
You sit around and dream for next Halloween
Why not everyday, are you so afraid?
What will people say?
Why not everyday, are you so afraid?
What will people say after Halloween?
Because your role is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and think it through
But what will the boss say to you?
And what will your girlfriend say to you?
And the people out on the street
They might glare at you
And what do you know
You're pretty self-conscious too
So you run back and stuff
Yourselves in rigid business costumes
Only at night to score is
Your leather uniform exhumed
Why don't you take your social regulations
Shove 'em up your ass?
Why don't you take your social regulations
Shove 'em up your ass?
Why don't you take your social regulations
And shove 'em up your ass?
And you feel like shining
And you feel like letting loose
But what are you gonna be?
Babe, you better know and you better plan
Better plan all day
Better plan all week, better plan all month
Better plan all year
You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that
I can see your eyes, I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
I can see your eyes, I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
Because you're hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow your mold goes back on
After Halloween after Halloween
You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow shitfaced tonight
You'll brag about it for months
Remember what I did, remember what I was
Back on Halloween
But what's in between? Where are your ideas?
You sit around and dream for next Halloween
Why not everyday, are you so afraid?
What will people say?
Why not everyday, are you so afraid?
What will people say after Halloween?
Because your role is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and think it through
But what will the boss say to you?
And what will your girlfriend say to you?
And the people out on the street
They might glare at you
And what do you know
You're pretty self-conscious too
So you run back and stuff
Yourselves in rigid business costumes
Only at night to score is
Your leather uniform exhumed
Why don't you take your social regulations
Shove 'em up your ass?
Why don't you take your social regulations
Shove 'em up your ass?
Why don't you take your social regulations
And shove 'em up your ass?
