Sonic Youth - C.B. lyrics
[Sonic Youth - C.B. lyrics]
I'm the emcee hmmm so I'm supposed to be
Saying "let's hear it for Sonic Youth
All the way from the
States" Except uh actually
I'd like about two minutes of your attention
Shut your fucking face
I want just two minutes of
Your attention i have
A very interesting little story to tell
You two minutes, not very long
Right? And it's a it's a
Very instructive little story
Hmm sonic Youth, um, are a band
Uh, they're about to put out a record
In this country except their Record
Company has decided to put a "no
No" on the record necause of
Uh the cover which is
Offending some people at
Rough Trade and now, it's not i mean
It's not very offensive cover, it's uh
It's got a naked lady, a naked Puerto
Rican lady, it's not very obscene
She's not doing anything weird
Uh it has nothing to do with you know
In this day of AIDS, an Ethiopia and
All that shit, uh, you
Would think the major alternative record
Company would have better things
To do than worry about the
Shape of our bodies, you know?
So, I thought I'd let you know, uh, so um
Next time you go and buy a record, and
You think you're really alternative
And groovy, and uh, everybody is in is into
The alternative charts, remember it's
Just like the other side except it's
A bit, a bit stranger
You know but just remember it's not
Uh there's no fucking culture there
You know? There's
Just as much censorship among people our age
Or you know than anyone else
We'd like to thank Claude
For that delightful speech
This song is called "The Green
Light" it's about green love
Saying "let's hear it for Sonic Youth
All the way from the
States" Except uh actually
I'd like about two minutes of your attention
Shut your fucking face
I want just two minutes of
Your attention i have
A very interesting little story to tell
You two minutes, not very long
Right? And it's a it's a
Very instructive little story
