Let's Get Radical Lyrics

(Good morning!)
Oh! Fuck!

She says, "Let's go to Brighton Beach
And then tap our foot to disco
Just tap the foot and eat the food"

Well that would be great fun of ironic kind
For your self-collapsing ironic mind
But, hey girl, we've got the cure for you
Provided of course you will ever make it through!

So let's get radical, and not sporadical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!

Well you know, mother
Some things are actually sacred
And tapping your foot to the ceremony just won't do!
So hey girl we've got the cure for you
Provided of course you will ever make it through
But, hey boy, we've got the cure for you too
Provided of course you will ever make it through!

So let's get radical, and not sporadical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!
Let's get radical, and not sporadical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!

yay. Eugene's at it again. Protesting the canned culture, the zombie-like way so many people simply fall into step with it. I'm amazed no one else has commented on this one. If nothing else, the opening is hilarious! I want that on my alarm clock in the morning! I'd always wake up with a smile!!!

She says, "Let's go to Brighton Beach, And the TAP OUR FOOT TO disco. JUST TAP THE FOOT AND EAT THE FOOD."

"[Ukrainian] radical!" should read: "and not sparatical"

"And tough for you ceremonic just won't do!" should read: "and tapping your foot to the ceremony just won't do"

I don't see Eugene going on a "normal" date. He might be referring to the fact that he will challenge her sense of normalcy by letting himself go to the radical side of his personality. And "provided of course you will ever make it through" being that he will be asking her to cross the line out of her comfort zone. In the process, he will also deal with his own issues of being out of control/radical. Definitely NOT GOING TO BE A NORMAL DATE. He considers himself to be the cure for her bland normalcy. Does she know what she's getting into?
