lyrics

Sometimes I'd like to rip off your face;
Strip away the make-up, join the human race.
Dilation of the things you crave,
Leads the rest of us into an early grave.

Brush your pearly whites with Pepsident.
Don't know who you picked for President.
Just woke up from a bad accident.
All your dreams down the heater, heater vent.

Hard headed girl hates her family life.
They just keep calling never let you out of sight.
Three more years is a long, long time,
For the rest of us to stay alive.

Brush your pearly whites...

Send a message from your telephone.
Like picking scabs won't you leave it alone.
The words are wrong in so many different ways.
You got no brains I think its safe to say.

Brush your pearly whites....

Your life's the grease on a barbeque grill
Leftover leavings all the others had their fill.
Don't come a running, don't complain to me.
You wouldn't believe the things I've seen.

Brush your pearly whites....
