Cool Zero

(album: Wide Awake In Dreamland - 1988)

Art attacks from subway walls
Sprayed like bullets into concrete face
Everywhere you turn, knuckles are cracking
Suburban monkeys break ghetto habits
Body guns loaded for a dime
See 'em shed their celebrity skin
For a life of trash and crime

Cool zero
You wanna know where the wild ones go
Cool zero
You wanna know where the bodies are burned
Crawling under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot
Cool zero (cool zero) cool zero

Nothing stops the hit parade
Money makers will be shaken down
Everywhere you go, fingers are snapping
Commercial prophets shout revolution
Throwing dirt upon a good mans name
Watch 'em sell his soul for shoes
And dance upon his grave

Cool zero
You wanna know where the wild ones go
Cool zero
You wanna know where the bodies are burned
Crawling under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot
Cool zero (cool zero) cool zero

In this junk food civilization
They will eat and not think twice
For a dance in the dragons jaws
They will gladly pay the price
An' eat their fill ooh, ooh hey

Headlines turn in violent days
Run like blood across the printed page
Everywhere you look, atoms are smashing
Politicians smiling for the camera
And the pictures make you wanna scream
Maybe baby, we'll just play it cool
Like Elvis at 19

Cool zero
You wanna know where the wild ones go
Cool zero
You wanna know where the bodies are burned
Crawling under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot
Cool zero (cool zero) cool zero

Cool zero (cool zero) cool zero ....
