Fountain Of Filth

(album: Hardcore Devo Vol. 2: 1974-1977 - 1991)

There it was
Just like old faithful
The eternal fountain of filth

I took a walk
Straight out of town
But then I stopped
And took my time for pleasure

I was alone
I looked around
I heard a voice
So I buckled up for safety

I saw myself
There on the ground
A pool of sound
It showed my own reflection

In a fountain of filth
It was a fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

I tried to run
I couldn't move
Frozen stiff
While the thoughts of men threatened me

Out of my head
The fountain shot
And drowned me in a serum
That I couldn't put a stop to

It was me
Myself and I
Locked in a struggle
With the talking head below me

I got a hunger
That makes me do things
I got a hunger
That makes me say things
I got a hunger
That makes me want things
I'm just a victim of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

But, nowhere are we safe
From the power of
From the reach of
From the appeal of
Eternal fountain of filth
Fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

I got a hunger
That makes me do things
I got a hunger
That makes me say things
I got a hunger
That makes me want things
I'm just a victim of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

Nowhere are we safe
From the power of
From the reach of
From the appeal of
Eternal fountain of filth
Fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

I got a hunger
That makes me do things
I got a hunger
That makes me say things
I got a hunger
That makes me want things
I'm just a victim of filth
Fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

I got a hunger
That makes me do things
I got a hunger
That makes me say things
I got a hunger
That makes me want things
I'm just a victim of filth
Fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth

I got a hunger
That makes me do things
I got a hunger
That makes me say things
I got a hunger
That makes me want things
I'm just a victim of filth

I I
