Dead Kennedys - Straight A's lyrics
[Dead Kennedys - Straight A's lyrics]
"Brain death, mind death, school damage
Straight A's"
Sixteen, on the honor roll
I wish that I was dead hate my parents
I got zit's and bruises around my head
Pressure's on to get good grades so
I can be like them
Do my homework all the time
I can't go out just then
People they ain't friends at all
They tease and suck me dry
They yell at me when I fuck
Up and party while I cry
I look so big on paper yet
I feel so very small
Want to die and you don't care
Just stride on down the hall
Suicide, suicide read the paper, wonder why
Turn the light out, then you cry
It's your fault, you made me die
Touch me, won't you touch me now
So frozen I can't love
When I was born my mama cried
And picked me up with gloves
Girls, they kick me in the eye
Want answers to the tests
When they get them they drive off
And leave me home to rest
Hold my head, make me warm
Tell me I am loved give me hope, let me cry
Make me feel, give me touch
The window's broken, bleeding, screaming
Lying in the hall
I'm gone, no one remembers me
A picture on the wall
"He was such a bright boy
The future in his hands"
Or a spineless human pinball shot
Around by your demands
Suicide, suicide
Going to sleep and when I die
You'll wise up and realize
Then look down and wipe your eyes
And then go back to your stupid lives
(Aw, shit)
Straight A's"
Sixteen, on the honor roll
I wish that I was dead hate my parents
I got zit's and bruises around my head
Pressure's on to get good grades so
I can be like them
Do my homework all the time
I can't go out just then
People they ain't friends at all
They tease and suck me dry
They yell at me when I fuck
Up and party while I cry
I look so big on paper yet
I feel so very small
Want to die and you don't care
Just stride on down the hall
Suicide, suicide read the paper, wonder why
Turn the light out, then you cry
It's your fault, you made me die
Touch me, won't you touch me now
So frozen I can't love
When I was born my mama cried
And picked me up with gloves
Girls, they kick me in the eye
Want answers to the tests
When they get them they drive off
And leave me home to rest
Hold my head, make me warm
Tell me I am loved give me hope, let me cry
Make me feel, give me touch
The window's broken, bleeding, screaming
Lying in the hall
I'm gone, no one remembers me
A picture on the wall
"He was such a bright boy

Or a spineless human pinball shot
Around by your demands
Suicide, suicide
Going to sleep and when I die
You'll wise up and realize
Then look down and wipe your eyes
And then go back to your stupid lives
