Breaking Point

Screeching Weasel · Television City Dream [1998]

do you ever shut up do you ever shut up why not gossip

about martina hingis you can rhyme her name with cunnilingus

"the u.s. open's a piece of piss when you're a little

swiss miss" she's at break point this song's about

my breaking point at the point of this break in the

song why can't we all just get along like martina and

her mom women tennis players aren't all dykes and so

what if we're on fat mike's record label 'cause our

cards are on the table and you can say that it's just

a house of cards and we can say that you're just a

bunch of retards but you know that the truth is that

our hearts are in the right place you know we try hard

we give it our best shot then we give up and go home
