official lyrics to

The Micronotz "Beast that Devoured Itself"

these are the lyrics as transcribed by Jay Hauptli--appearing on the 8½ x 11 one-sided insert that came with the record. This is exactly the way they appear on the lyric sheet.

Way Too Long- way too long,it's over now,way too long,bend over now,
It's way too long Invisible-my baby thinks that I'm invisible,I know
because I'm feeling so miserable,she walks right through me,now I feel
like Houdini,I come along just to say hello,then I know that I'm just
invisible Born to Kick Ass-Police station,I don't hate them,I just pity
them,they hate themselves,it's just an idiom Your Mind is Empty-he's 42,
he's still in school,his mind is empty,he's eighteen,,the son on the run,
his mind is empty,see her around,another ghost in your town,but her mind
is empty Brain Arrangement-come a little closer,I'll rearrange your
brain,just try and put me on the floor,you pin head trash bag,just try
War-let's start a war,just a little war,let's start a war between two
people,and I think it's funny,I saw the war,the four minute war,the
battle raged between two commercials,and I think it's money Decide
Tomorrow
-it's amazing I ever wrote these words,I even have the time,
procrastination's not a crime Tied to the Tracks- I'm tied to the tracks
just beyond the horizon,the rope that binds me feels so secure,there's
been many here before me,tied to the tracks of rock and roll,the tracks
are worn,I could have sworn they spoke to me Run My Life-Icould get me
a job selling cars in town,or working in some factory,sometimes I feel
so old when I'm driving by my school,in strangers faces I see me,
getting paid,getting laid,that's the way I want to run my life Polyester
Slave
-I'm just a guy with nothing to do,needed some bucks to buy my brew
at first I thought it would be some fun,now I'm stuck here forever
flipping burger buns,cheeseburger!!!fries!!! Oh Baby-they're dog food
for the rich,they're dogfood,instead of watching her,why not consume her,
love and destruction go hand in hand,I hope this pop tune don't bring
you down,oh baby Whatcha Trying to Do-blood pressure going up,will
power going down,put me on a leash,lead me right uptown,whatcha trying
to do Proud to be a Farmer-being a farmer is a pretty dull life,cows
corn kids and a wife,a pickup truck and a pocket knife,I'm proud to be
a farmer,I like to feel the dirt on my hands.
