The Tubes - Genius Of America lyrics

rate me

(Cambra/Prince)

Gazworks/ASCAP/

Wongo Songo/BMI

Soft cell, hard trade

They'll steal the deal we made

Take to the sun and make it work by the hour

Talk like us 'til everyman turns sour

New improved, buy now

You can own the sacred cow

Recycled theme park dazzle me with fun

Gold mine garbage dump buy it by the ton

It's an exhibition, crucifiction,

an advertising dessicration

It licks away like the tide on a stone

It ticks away at you Genius of America

Break even, burn gas

Buried in waste right up to your ass

Turn a bottle to a bag on the ground

Get used to living in a cardboard town

A visionary luminary future's lookin' kinda scary

It licks away like the tide on a stone

It ticks away at you Genius of America

Quality, you mean quantity

Make it bigger, make it better

Spill it on the land

Spell it over, sell it over

It's a terrible thing to waste
