“Colin?”
“I’m alright.”
“What happened?”
“What do you mean what happened? I just slipped down these damn stairs!”

Dexys Midnight Runners – Geno Lyrics

Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno!
Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno!
Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno!

Back in ’68 in a sweaty club (Oh, Geno)
Before Jimmy’s Machine and The Rocksteady Rub (Oh-oh-oh, Geno)
On a night when flowers didn’t suit my shoes
After a week of flunking and bunking school
The lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practicing steps and keeping out of the fights

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover, the fighter that won
But now just look at me as I’m looking down at you
No, I’m not being flash, it’s what I’m built to do

That man took the stage, his towel was swinging high (Oh, Geno)
This man was my bombers, my Dexys, my high (Oh-oh-oh Geno)
The crowd they all hailed you, and chanted your name
But they never knew like we knew, me and you were the same
And now you’re all over, your song is so tame, brrrrrrr
You fed me, you bred me, I’ll remember your name

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover, the fighter that won
But now just look at me as I’m looking down at you
No, I’m not bein’ flash, it’s what I’m built to do

Oh, Geno (Woah-oh-oh Geno)
Oh, Geno (Woah-oh-oh Geno)

Dead Kennedys – California Über Alles Lyrics

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president

Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!

California Über Alles
California Über Alles
Über Alles California
Über Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can’t happen here
Big Bro’ on white horse is near
The hippies won’t come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!

California Über Alles
California Über Alles
Über Alles California
Über Alles California

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It’s the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes here’s a pretty flower.

DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent’s egg’s already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

California Über Alles
California Über Alles
Über Alles California
Über Alles California

Every morning before high school, my friend and I would roll down the windows of her Dodge Daytona, crank up the heat, and blast this song while speeding recklessly along the country roads. It felt like a taste of freedom to us callow youths.
