Bob Wire: Music

Skin Deep Boogie

(Bob Wire)

Ednor C. Therriault

Well, this should lose me about half my fan base.
I'm playing all the instruments on this, and I pushed all the buttons for the drums.

I saw you on the street last night
I recognized your overbite
Laughing, smoking with your crew
Showing off your new tattoo

Passing around a paper bag
You took a pull, you took a drag
Trying hard to look so cool
I don’t know who you’re trying to fool

Chorus
A skull on your shoulder and a spider on your wrist
Oh, you’re such a rugged individualist
You can’t stand out if you don’t fit in
A generation posing on the head of a pin

That big old tattoo on your neck
Has made your mom a nervous wreck
No way in hell you’ll find a job
‘Cept as a hit man for the mob

Where will you be when this fad ends?
You and your technicolor friends
A brand new trend will sweep the nation
They call it laser dermabrasion

Chorus
A Japanese sleeve and a nipple ring
A face full of metal and that earlobe thing
You think you’re outrageous but it just looks silly
“Maybe chicks will dig me if I pierce my willie”
All that shiny hardware and all that ink
It’s about as attractive as a clogged up sink
There’s one simple fact you sideshow freaks don’t see
A needle can’t give you a personality
