Telling Them Lyrics
Well I love the sound when I smash the glass,
If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass.
My mommy is worried about the way I drink,
My daddy can't figure out the way I think.
They wake me up, tell me, "to get to work,"
I slam the door, say, "shut up you jerk!"
I can't wait till the show tonite,
CHORUS: They're telling me, but I'm telling them,
"I'll do it my way, & I'll always win."
"When the sun goes down I'm ready to play,
It doesn't matter what anybody says!!!"
Well I love the sound when I smash the glass,
If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass.
My girl stands very close to me,
That's just where I want her to be.
They say it costs $6 to get in this shack,
I'll go around & sneak in the back.
I hope the police won't show up here,
Then we'll have to hide out of fear...
REPEAT CHORUS:
If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass.
My mommy is worried about the way I drink,
My daddy can't figure out the way I think.
They wake me up, tell me, "to get to work,"
I slam the door, say, "shut up you jerk!"
I can't wait till the show tonite,
"I'll do it my way, & I'll always win."
"When the sun goes down I'm ready to play,
It doesn't matter what anybody says!!!"
Well I love the sound when I smash the glass,
If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass.
My girl stands very close to me,
That's just where I want her to be.
They say it costs $6 to get in this shack,
I'll go around & sneak in the back.
I hope the police won't show up here,
Then we'll have to hide out of fear...

i prefer the 1979 demo its alot faster, has anyone heard it
This brilliant song is about doing what you want to do, going were you want to go, and doing what you want to do!
This brilliant song is about doing what you want to do, going were you want to go, and making your own rules!
Very idealistic, but nevertheless a good tune
Very idealistic, but nevertheless a good tune
punk rock...right there.
Loooove it :D
yeah ive heard the demo... think i like the orig. lil better
ANTI SOCIAL/ANTI SOCIETY SONG plain and simple. Just like mommy`s little monster
Pure genious, that's all I have to say.
I like the version on Hell Comes to Your House the best.
