Brian Wilson Says SMiLE a.k.a. Beard Of Defiance

(アルバム： To Leave Or Die In Long Island - 2005)

I'm twenty-two and I live at home
And I hate my shitty job and shitty wage
I feel like I need an attitude adjustment
When the transformation's over you can see it on my face

Grow a 'stache and a beard and move out to the woods
Do the H.D. Thoreau-thing and start feeling good
Disconnect the phones and sever all the credit cards

You hate the options they present to you
And everything is owned by someone lame
Here's a lesson how to deal with corporatization:
Stick it to the man because the man don't own your face

Grow a 'stache and a beard and move out to the woods
Do the H.D. Thoreau-thing and start feeling good
Disconnect the phones and sever all the credit cards

You say they're not much different than me
I disagree. They're buying 200-dollar designer jeans
They drink martinis. I can't afford a shot of whiskey
The joke's on everyone but me

So, you wake up everyday
You go to that job interview
Before you go to that job interview, shave off your beard
But do you know what happens when you shave off your beard?
Ten kids die in third world countries
Fifteen kids die in communist countries
And twenty kids die in socialist countries
Don't conform to Gillette
Don't conform to Schick
Don't conform to the Mach 3 Turbo
Don't conform to the Venus
Don't conform to the Mach 3
Don't conform to the Mach 3

My beard of defiance!
My beard of defiance!
My beard of defiance!
My beard of defiance!

And then when you wake up in the morning
You go into work and your friend says, "That's a shitty beard"
You say "Fuck you, you're a shitty fucking not-beard-having fuck"

My beard of defiance!
My beard of defiance!
My beard of defiance!
My beard of defiance!

Take back the beard! Take back the world!
Take back the beard! Take back the world!
Take back the beard! Take back the world!
Take back the beard! Take back the world!
