Fall · Other Songs - Fall
Yeah? well don't make a career out of it
Up tonight
You are chockyou are popyou are pop-stock
[backing vocals] (mix my pop-stock)
Pop-stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stockmix my pop-stock
We like pop-sick stickers
We like weak tv
We like chocolate animals
We eat porky piggies
Pop stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stocktry my pop-stock
Pop-stockbuy my pop-stock
Now all the bourgeoisie
They hate our crazy scene
'cause we dig pop-sick stickers
We like weaker tea
But they're the product of the same systems
Beyond their control
They stayed on at school
And tolerate bad manners
Pop stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stocktry my pop-stock
Pop-stockbuy my pop-stock
Now come on kids
You don't need a '77
You don't need lee cooper
You don't need three cosmic boots
You don't need no cosmic shit
Lets get this thing together
And make it bad
Why are you smiling
Why are you laughing
At or with this song
It's not like your sceneyour scene
Pop stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stockmix my pop-stock
Pop-stocktry my pop-stock
