Lexicon Devil Lyrics
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
I want toy tin soldiers that can push and shove
I want gunboy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way cold men and politics dead...
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
I'll get silver guns to drip old blood
Let's give this establishment joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on this rancid mill
I'm searchin' for something even if I'm killed...
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
Empty out your pockets - you don't need their change
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop... away...
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
I want gunboy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way cold men and politics dead...
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
Let's give this establishment joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on this rancid mill
I'm searchin' for something even if I'm killed...
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop... away...
And I'm lookin' for a future - the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
Gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
Gimme gimme tha-yea-yea-t...

Wonder if anyone can tell I love this song. Hahaha.
its quite easy to understand Darby was, as stated before, sort of a dictator; a leader. he could make ANYONE do ANYTHING. He was a master of PERSUASION. and to persuade someone to do something, you use yor words
LEXICON DEVIL- being benevolent using words
the first germs song I ever heard... got me addicted
i think this is about would-be dictators and how ambition can cloud judgement...but then thats me again. i think the fact that hitler is on the cover of the single supports that
I think it's about Darby/Paul/Bobby. He liked to think of himself as a banevolent dictator.
this is an awesome song i love it so much
Lexicon is something to do with the way words are formed I think. It's also the name of a company that makes sound equipment. I don't know if this helps or not, but it's vagually interesting, nonetheless.
great song
If anyone knows much about Darby Crash, I guess you'd know his dictator like ways, and how charismatic he was. I read somewhere that if Darby asked you for anything, people would just automatically give it to him, whether it was drugs or their shirt. you know, "gimme gimme this, gimme gimme that"
I like plastic_scones' idea that the song was about Darby himself, not political dictators. this is why i think it was about him, and of course i just got all this info from the internet
gimme your minds: Jan Paul Beahm and Georg Ruthenberg were expelled from Santa Monica Community College for mind control and antisocial behaviour, after having convinced class mates that Paul was Jesus and George was God. Paul later referred to this as 'having their own religion'.
wreck this club: the germs totally trashed a lot of venues, it got violent and they were banned
lexicon devil: darby crash was obsessed with the english language and memorized all the different definitions of "the."
