[Dead Kennedys - Night of the Living Rednecks lyrics]
Chemical warfare, chemical warfare
Chemical warfare, warfare, warfare!
Ray's guitar broke no, we won't play Rawhide
Won't play anything we'll play
The theme from the
Dinah Shore show who wants to be
Dinah Shore? Who's alter-ego is
Dinah Shore? Oh, his fists didn't go
Up so quickly this time yawnyawnyawn
Put them headphones on, it's be-bop time
I want to tell you a story about
The last time I was in
Portland the night before we played at
The Long Goodbye i was
Walking on the street about 10: 30
At night a lot of people
Go to bed around here at 10:
30 at night and well, i was walking
Along when suddenly these jocks in
This bright blue pickup
Drove up it had KC lights, tractor tires
Everything but the CB it was a life-size Hot
Wheels car for some dumb
Rich kid, right well, they drove up to
Me and they yelled what dumb rich
Kids usually yell, "Hey faggot
" and showered me with water
"Alright!"
So, I stood there thinking, what
A bunch of fuckheads
And picked up a rock now, I waited
Walked down about a block
To where the Kentucky
Fried Chicken is, on Burnside
And sure enough they drove around again they
Said, "Hey, faggot
Where's the nearest McDonald's?"
I said, "I don't know"
And they squirted me again so
I threw the rock and
Put a nice-sized dent in their
Giant Hot Wheels car
They screeched to a halt in the
Parking lot of some department store
Who's name I don't remember, it's up
The street from Fred Meyer
And they got out their clubs
And they ran after me, yelling "We're
Gonna kill you, you god damn
Faggot, we're gonna kill you
You motherfucker" So I got
In a phone booth by the
Kentucky Fried Chicken on Burnside
Held my legs straight out like this so they
Couldn't open the door to the phone
Booth so they began charging the phone booth
Beating on it with their
Clubs, yelling, "We're gonna kill you, you
Motherfucker! We're gonna kill you
You goddamn faggot!" I just looked at them
So, there was a crowd gathering
By this time and
These kids were standing nearby
And they said, "Oh, look at him, he's
Insane" I thought, aha
Here's my way out! I yelled at them, "Take
Me to a mental hospital right away i wanna be
Be put away please, put me away, c'mon
Call the cops and put me away please, put
Me away now" They said, "Alright, faggot
We're calling the police"
So they called the police the cop comes
Out and I go "Ah, my savior
I'm away from these jocks"
He opens up the door, "Get outta there, you
" throws me up against the car, frisks me
Shoves me in the back
Then he goes over to the
Jocks "Now what happened here?
It looks like we're going have to take him to
Jail but we got to have
The full story first" So
The jocks, who had an ace in the hole
Ace in the hole
(take down on the bass, a little
Bit down on the bass
Yeah) , ace in the hole
And they go, "Well, goddammit
The motherfucker put a dent in my
Truck, a $5000 truck, right, so
I got my club, i went out and I
Wanted to kill him! I want to
Kill him! Let me kill him
Goddammit! Let me kill him!"
So the cop made them go home
And he drove me home
And he confiscated their
Club and my rock as further evidence and
I thought, so this is Oregon, huh?
Tolerant Oregon? Ray
Are you done with your guitar yet?
He isn't done yet so what
Else do you want to hear, I'm out
Of stories that's a true story
Too just ask Bruce Loose
Chemical warfare, warfare, warfare!
Ray's guitar broke no, we won't play Rawhide
Won't play anything we'll play
The theme from the
Dinah Shore show who wants to be
Dinah Shore? Who's alter-ego is
Dinah Shore? Oh, his fists didn't go
