Dead Kennedys - Pull My Strings lyrics

[Dead Kennedys - Pull My Strings lyrics]

"Hold it! We've gotta prove we're adults now
We're not a punk rock band
We're a new wave band!"

I'm tired of self-respect
I can't afford a car
I wanna be a prefab superstar
I wanna be a tool, don't need no soul
Wanna make big money playing rock and roll

I'll make my music boring
I'll play my music slow
I ain't no artist, I'm a businessman
No ideas of my own
I won't offend or rock the boat
Just sex and drugs and rock and roll

Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!



You'll pay ten bucks to see me
On a fifteen foot high stage
Fat-ass bouncers kick the shit out of
Kids who try to dance
If my friends say I've lost my guts
I'll laugh and say, "That's rock and roll!"

But there's just one problem

Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star?
Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far
Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far

And when I'm rich and meet Bob Hope
We'll shoot some golf and shoot some dope

Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star?
Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far

Guitar!

"Everybody, put your hands together!"
Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star?
"Everybody sing it one time!"
Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star?
"Shut up and dance, everybody!"

Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star?
Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far
"One more time!"

Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far

And drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!

"Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
We sure
Do love you, we'll see you next time
Having a good time playing good
And loud rock and roll!"
