WHAT WE DO IS SECRETThe Germs lyrics
(UNTITLED 1975 LYRICS)
Astrio was from a planet blue
He spoke of love for me and you
He could set your mind ablaze
With sparkling eyes and visionary care
He stood like a remnant from an outbreak past
Wore a ring in his ear and boy was he fast
Had hair like a rocket's nest
But when he cheered he gave his best
He made a noise that stirred our souls
Got us moving out of control
When Astrio moved he changed our tunes
The filled his arms with needles bare
Shot him up and cut his hair
Tied him to an evil plot
Told the kids that he was not
their man
He gave us life and dealt us love
Sold us out for the great above
He was
On a starry night in mid-December
Astrio cried you might remember
Live it to the end
Share it with a friend
Deny me not
Cause now you're caught
I'll be with you in the thought
Beyond
FORMING
Rip them down Hold them up
Tell them that I'm your gun
Pull my trigger I am bigger than...
Mr. Prez in his big white house
Listen he says we're coming out
Infiltration - we're numbing your minds
Concentration - we've done time
Over there the queen she says
Let's stamp them out and dry those tears
Saturation - we want it in taxes
Flagellation - we've got gashes
In the cold, the czar's claimin'
Just protectin' rockets aimin'
Alteration - the Earth is changin'
Observation - we want action
I the Emperor proclaim
Us the masters we rule this game
Inclination - somethin to dream on
Deprivation - we are sons
SEX BOY
I take it anywhere, any time that I can
I'm the fucking son of a superman
I got a weapon that's as deadly as life
It's a well trained tool of a master guy
Every day it's the same regime
A dozen boys are on my scene
Say sex boy will you come into my hand
They're all on the floor, I better do what I can
Take a number, it's supply and demand
Any time that I can
I put my knife into your gut
You gotta be above when you wanna make love
Say it exactly, sex boy, such a sideshow poster
After such a sweet sweet slut
Any time that I can
I'm the fucking son of a superman
I know what it takes
What in the time I can and can't do
I know what it takes to satisfy you
I know what it takes
That's why your time is due
in the house of fortune
I take it out and you know
it's gonna come from behind
Just like you, and you, and you, and you
GET A GRIP
I'm the only thing you need
I'm so real you can feel me bleed
I'm the coat you left behind
I'm the one you'll never find
Get a grip, get a grip on me
On the streets another thing
I'll push your knife and pull your string
Put your thoughts into my mind
I'll show your things of another kind
Get a grip, get a grip on me
SUICIDE MACHINE
Just a pill and a dream
Died yesterday
Put a gun in his mouth and blew his way out
Just a pill and a dream
It's a suicide machine
She danced all night to the storm in her mind
She waits in the gutter
Someone she'll never find
Just a sill and a scheme
It's a suicide machine
She cried about the world
She slit her throat to fight it
Someone had told her she'd had it
Just a sill and a scheme
It's a suicide machine
Bobby had lost his secret identity
He saw his masculinity in a glass of Bordeaux
Just watch the show
It's a sparkler to his child eyes
It's a suicide machine
You find his wish
Get yourself some ammunition
Click!
It's a suicide machine
LEXICON DEVIL
I'm a lexicon devil with a battered brain
And I'm lookin for a future-- the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme your hands
gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this
gimme gimme that
I want toy tin soldiers that can push and shove
I want gunboy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way cold men and politics dead
I'll give you silver guns to drip old blood
Let's give this established joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on this rancid mill
I'm searchin for somethin even if I'm killed
Empty out your pockets
you don't need their change
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run it to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop... away...
NO GOD
I've read every book in the Bible Story
And all it ever brought me was another worry
Don't want God, give me a jury
See - there's no God to make up my mind
No God givin me time
I peered in every window where I saw a cross
But I could never see just what they saw
In that piece of plaster on the wall
See - there's no God to fear
No God to hear your cries
I'd pray to anything out there
If only I was given some sign to bear
But while I wait I'm gonna live
See - there's no God to watch over me
No God for human beings
When I was small I obeyed his every word
Handed down to me by some thoughtful blur
But now I am as big as he
See - no God bigger than I
No God frightening me
In my image I made he him and I gave him life
So he burned me, the creature has risen and I
Think you can see just what it is that's drivin
Me around round
We are the church we are good
and we've got your millions
God knows we should
CIRCLE ONE
I'm Darby Crash
A social blast
Chaotic master
I'm Darby Crash
Your meccas gash
Prophetic stature
I'm Darby Crash
A one way match
Demonic flasher
Deep, deep, deep, in my eyes
There's a round, round, round, circle of lives
It's a tame, tame, tame sort of world
Where you're caught, bought, taught, as it twirls
I'm Darby Crash
A social blast
Chaotic master
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop in here
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop
Snap, crackle, pop out there
MANIMAL
I came into this world like a puzzled panther
Wanting to be caged
But something stood in the way
I was never quite tamed
I crossed the pasths of right and wrong
And saw them take their toll
I saw armies that marched
And like animals they crawled
Evolution is a process too slow
To save my soul
But I've got this creature on my back
And it just won't let go
If I am only an animal
Then I can do no wrong
But they say I'm something better
So I've gotta hold on
DRAGON LADY
You walk to the temple on the boulevard
You know the way in cause you're the son of God
She opens the door with a sardonic glance
You drop to the floor making your plans
It's a real cool parody
That's my dragon lady
In a low society with no variety
She lives a tongue in cheek dream
There's something in her eyes that nature denied
She's a whirlwind creature of cultural ties
A preacher of schemes and self denial
She talks up a storm with news and belial
To live in Brahman tragedy
Driven it seems by fantasies
A life like this is sad to see
A smile kept quite in reverie
The clock on the mantle hands stop crossed
The rug on the floors a resting place for the dust
The talk of the town yet she's never been seen
A loving relation with a well trained machine
STRANGE NOTES
Billy Druids face is marble
He keeps every thought in it's place
He lets the days turn tomorrow
Someone's always walking on his grave
He wears the linens just like Garbo
And talks at a saturnine pace
Listening to the strange notes marvel
Only giving what it takes
It's a sad man's world
And for Billy it's sure to crown
Dragging beauty into darkness
Inflicting a pale white frown
And the matter that runs
Through Billy's head
Is too concerned to fail
WHAT WE DO IS SECRET
Standing in the line we're abberations
Defects in a defects' mirror
And we've been here all the time real fixations
Hidden deep in the furor
What we do is secret- secret!
We're influential guys for the D.C.C.
We can lie so perfect
And we've got a party line to every call
It's a very short circuit
What we do is secret- secret!
Licenced to drill with the torch in our lives
Walking on shallow water
Progressed to the point of no distinction
Dementia of a higher order
What we do is secret- secret!
COMMUNIST EYES
I'm looking through Communist eyes
I'm seeing planes in bloodshot skies
I see the flag of a working people
Who conceal the lies in the stars and sickle
It's a double edge
Communist eyes - c'mon inside
I can't ever find the way out
Communist eyes - lost inside
I never get a day out
I'm looking through communist eyes
All I see is an old man's alibi
There's a world outside but I'm unaware
I open my books but the pages stare
It's a double edge
Communist eyes - all so blind
I can't even play the game now
I'm living through Communist times
I wave my flag and hold my head high
I can feel the glory of my comrades in masses
But I'm waiting for the day
when this madness passes
It's a double edge
LAND OF TREASON
Land of treason - waste no reason
we are breathing fire
We're packs of dogs - we're enemies of men
we are not desired
Our faces show - we've grown cold
but have not conspired
Old hearts gone - the suture's on
mother nations mired
I like a receptacle for the chosen dead
we find our bodies clawed
And with the scent of death, we find that
we are not so very awed
Loyalties burned- the words are blurred
overturn your own
Walk the dogs and watch the doors
have your other stone
Stop the toys that march disordered
calculate the thrones
Feel the pulse descending
decaying hallowed tomes
In the starving sense you worship
the nations of debris
You wear a cost of sewage
that you've never even seen
The time is now- the vicious here
a stolen dinner code
The licence of the savage land
that you've always sold
So bite the hand that needs you
and bless another coal
The virus never issues
from a cotton so very old
As the lights come down and the guilty blaze;
another sort of road
You wash your hands and start to climb
the ladder that you stole
Slip the latch- and spin the sword
the money lords are poor
Push the tank- that rolls downhill
their sense of doom absorbed
Still the cat that breaks the night
tie him to the core
Chase the virtue that believes
that what's right is scored
It's a senseless cash in of right for right
what's wrong is never gone
And left is just a bastion
for the fools golden dawn
14. RICHIE DAGGER'S CRIME
I'm Richie Dagger
I can stomp and swagger
I can take on all your heroes
I'm Richie Dagger
I'm young and I'm haggard
The boy that nobody owns
He sits in his corner like a child despised
A crazy sort of cast comes over his eyes
That's Richie Dagger's crime
He's the sort of boy who was never much loved
His idea of fun was society's grudge
That's Richie Dagger's crime
His life was a mess
And his friends weren't quite the best
But he was satisfied
That's Richie Dagger's crime
Suck me in and spit me out
Devour me in haste
He could set your mind ablaze
With sparkling eyes and visionary case
He stood like the remnant of an outbreak past
Wore something in his ear and
Boy was he sass
AMERICAN LEATHER
Looking for a way out
I put my foot out of line
Really like to break-out
I feel so confined
American leather
The poinsous members
Not alone-not together
Their American leather
Saw you on a dark road
Brought myself along
Got a sense of conflict
But I know what's wrong
I know that kinda feeling
So I built my place up high
But you'll never find me kneeling
Cause I'm too occupied
OUR WAY
Clara would be proud to know us
We've taken it to the end
Where the grey turns to black
And the white just begins
We live every day on the water
The night just kills the pain
From the suffering that was
We are no stronger - We are dust
Down in the crowd we're down on our knees
Wanna get out but don't wanna suceed
We're the red-eyed legends of the night before
We're the dead mind babies of the TV war
Living in a rectory of sin
Against the current we all swim
Cageless wonders of sometime when
The paper lion's chase will end
WE MUST BLEED
It's Sunday and the streets aren't clear
The traffic's screaming but we can't hear
The sounds.. the metals.. driving us mad
We must bleed We must bleed
The crash as the bottle breaks
Flashes its will through my veins
The pain.. the colours.. making me sane..
We must bleed We must bleed
I'm not one, I'm two
I want out now
Now now now now
MEDIA BLITZ
I've got television
I've got supervision
No decisons for you
Media blitz - Media Blitz
Immediate hits - We rule
Don't steal your eyes off the TV screen
Can you realize we're what we've seen
Take an injection from the mad machine
Don't read the papers read between the lines
We're vision rapers and we seed the signs
You'll play your part in the master mind
We feed the science We deal in riots
We play by ideal time We're a gov'ment fix
All social convicts Watch the idle rhymes
Bleed your heart out-that's all it's worth
Before you ever start - we planned it first
Forget the truth - accept your curse
CAUGHT IN MY EYE
Through your dark eyes
You can feel my Every sin
When I walk right Into a straight line
This world of yours
I got you caught in my eye, again
You're the fall guy In the corner Of my gloom
It feels like Everything I see Is nothing new
I got you caught in my eye, again
There's a door there That opens Without you
And the door lies
With its open keys To my room
Flames of the torch light Fill my thighs
And I crave fulfill And I consume 'em
But I don't give got you caught in my eye, again
