Best of L7: The Slash Years

Glade told her ma, "Home scene's lame"
"I gotta go head into town, blow some steam at the rock show"
Sneak through the back door and head for the pit
Then some drunk, stupid loser started giving her shit

Redneck's on parade
Don't cross my line
Says Everglade
Everglade

He was whipping through the pit
Knocked her into the stage
She said, "Have your fun,
But stop being so lame."
This guy was drunk, stupid
And he must have weighed a ton
Said, "Get out of here girly,
I'm just trying to have some fun."

So you want to have some fun
Well, break out the big guns
Redneck's on parade
Don't cross my line
Says Everglade
Everglade

He kept it up, his fists started flying
They dodged each punch, as he kept trying
Tripped on his own feet and hit the floor
Glade got to pushing and rolled him out the door
So you want to have some fun?
Well break out the big guns
Rednecks on parade
Don't cross my line
Says Everglade

I've got word of thanks
That I'd like to say
For the way that I feel
The way that I feel today
Got stacks, got stacks
Stacks of chips on my shoulder
In everything I do
Cos I made, I made
I made the mistake
The mistake of trusting you
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just do
You liar
You liar
You liaaaaar
You liaaaaar
Yeah, my layers are thick
And I've got bad attitude
Yeah that knife in my back
Has fingerprints that belong to you
Got a grudge, got a grudge
Got a grudge that I'm holding
For as long as I like
Cos you red, you red
You red to my face
And that's something that I can't forgive
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
People like you just burn
You liar
You liar
You liaaaaar
You liaaaaar
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just fuel my fire
People like you just fuel my fire
Yeah, people like you just do
You liar
You liar
You liaaaaar
You liaaaaar

Come on over
It's getting late
It's time to fish
No time to cut bait
Ghoulish passion you inspire
With your kind of trouble
I'll never tire

Monster
(monster in me)
Bring out the monster
(monster in me)
Monster
(monster in me)
Bring out the monster
(monster in me)
You bring out
The monster in me

In a world full of disposable icons
All the jokers with the phony come-ons
I know I can depend on you
Cause when we're together, we're hurtin' crew

We don't need to look for trouble
My partner in crime, my insanity double
When life takes a turn from bad to worse
You're always there, my loveable curse

What's up with what's going down
In every city, in every town
Cramping styles is the plan
They've got us in the palm of every hand

When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead

Turn the tables with our unity
They neither moral nor majority
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality

When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead

Come on, come on, come on come on

When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead

stranded in the streets of san francisco
a rust car pulled along side of me
i looked behind the wheel
and i started to squeal
an idol's face was staring at me

don't preach to me
Mr. integrity

sittin' shotgun,
out of my brain
our muffler draggin'
through the art ghettos
stepped on the gas
gums started to flap
punk rock manifestoes
spittin', fumin',
streets are filled with so much glass
that i wanted to break
eyes spinnin' 'round
as my feet shook the ground
like the san francisco earthquake

don't preach to me
Mr.. integrity
don't preach to me
Mr. integrity
i'm not the enemy
please don't preach to me
Mr. integrity

don't preach to me
Mr.. integrity
i'm not the enemy-- no
please don't preach to me
Mr.. integrity

I suppose I should say a few words here
Let it all out
Try to let it all out

I like the sign with the blinking light
I like the sign it makes me feel alright
I like the lights yeah they're soothing me
I like the lights when they get blurry

But something out there's messing with me
A strange dose of reality

I had some things I had to do today
I had some things my head got in the way
I thought a drive might make it okay
I thought a drive would take it all away

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't shake it this brain freeze
Something out there's messing with me
Bad things come in more than threes

Bad things bad things
I just want to
Bad things, bad things
I want to want to
Bad things, bad things
Come on, I want to
Bad things, bad things
I just want to feel good
And I feel so bad

I like the sound of the urban din
I like the sound it fits the mood I'm in
The city plays it's manic song
The city plays I want to sing along

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't shake it this brain freeze
Bad things keep happening to me
Bad things come in more than threes

Bad things, bad things
I just wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I want to, wanna..
Bad things, bad things
Come on I wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I just want to feel good

I had some things I had to do today
I had some things my head got in the way
I can't shake what's hanging over me
I just can't shake what's hanging over me

Bad things bad things
I just wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I want to, want to
Bad things, bad things
Come on I wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I just want to feel good
