The whispering may hurt you
But the printed word might kill you
The whispering may hurt you
But the printed word might kill you

So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you
They're just gelignite, loaded and aiming right between your eyes
CDs and T-shirts, promos, God knows, oh, you know I couldn't last
Someone please take me home

The teenagers who love you
They will wake up, yawn and kill you
The teenagers who love you
They will wake up, yawn and kill you

So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you
They're just gelignite, loaded and aiming right between your eyes
CDs and T-shirts, promos, God knows, oh, you know I couldn't last
Someone please take me home

There's a cash register ringing and it weighs so heavy on my back
Someone please take me home

The critics who can't break you
They somehow help to make you
The critics who can't break you
Unwittingly they make you

So don't let the good days of the gold discs creep up and mug you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
With evil legal eagles, oh, you know I couldn't last
Accountants rampant, oh, you know I couldn't last
Every ist and every ism thrown my way to stay
And the northern leeches go on removing, removing, removing

Then in the end your royalties bring you luxuries
Your royalties bring you luxuries
Oh but the squalor of the mind
The squalor of the mind
The squalor of the mind
The squalor of the mind
