X-tal - A Lemon Song Lyrics

I'm in the corner, sucking on a lemon
Trying to put a curse on the marching band
The trumpet players' lips get stuck
The drums implode and the flags curl up
I'm in the corner, sucking on a lemon

A salamander slithers into the spotlight
A creature slimy enough to thrive in hellfire
He's come to save us from ourselves
I can't wait to see my cell
All aboard for the tent city in the desert

Suddenly all we see is you
Philosopher king of the evening news
The channel changes when you wave your wand
This land is your land, we just work here!

Human social nature abhors a vaccuum
Vote for Satan, at least he stands for something
I can see the future: a 500 foot high marquee
It flashes one single word over and over
COLLAPSE COLLAPSE COLLAPSE COLLAPSE

The wind is insane tonight, just hear it roar
Hurling fat tree limbs into my front door
But the rain falls so gently in the midst of it all
And neither one cares a bit what you or I think

Rage is all the rage, in the '90s rage is money
The righteous fury of a baby who won't share his toys
It's so easy to climb those charts
It's so easy to win those votes
Selling pointless phony blind cheap stupid powerless anger
(And while we're on the subject...)

Everybody digs it when you're angry
After all, anger is a vital component of rock and roll
But dare to tie that anger
To something that actually matters
And Americans will hate you and tell you you're too preachy

We're so cute, we're so cute when we're angry
We're so cute, we're so cute when we're angry
And by itself that's nothing, absolutely nothing
We're so cute, we're so cute when we're angry
