NIGHT OF THE LIVING REDNECKS
ray's guitar broke. no, we won't play rawhide, won't play anything.
we'll play the theme from the dinah shore show. who wants to be dinah shore?
who's alter-ego is dinah shore? oh, his fists didn't go up so quickly this
time. yawn...yawn..yawn. put those headphones on, it's be-bop time. i want
to tell you a story about the last time i was in portland. the night before
we played at the long goodbye. i was walking on the street about 10:30
at night. a lot of people go to bed around here at 10:30 at night. and
well, i was walking along when suddenly these jocks in this bright blue
pickup drove up. it had kc lights, tractor tires, everything but the cb.
it was a life-size hot wheels car for some dumb rich kid, right. well,
they drove up to me and they yelled what dumb rich kids usually yell, "hey,
faggot," and showered me with some water. so, i stood there thinking, what
a bunch of fuckheads and picked up a rock. now, i waited, walked down about
a block to where the kentucky fried chicken is, on burnside, and sure enough
they drove around again. they said, "hey, faggot, where's the nearest mcdonald's?"
i said, "i don't know" and they squirted me again. so i threw the rock
and put a nice-size dent in their giant hot wheels car. they screached
to a halt in the parking lot of some department store, who's name i don't
remember, it's up the street from fred meyer, and they got out their clubs
and they ran after me, yelling, "we're gonna kill you, you god damn faggot,
we're gonna kill you, you motherfucker." so i got in a phonebooth by the
kentucky fried chicken on burnside, held my legs straight out like this
so they couldn't open the door to the phonebooth. so they began charging
the phonebooth, beating on it with their club, yelling, "we're gonna kill
you, you motherfucker, we're gonna kill you, you god damn faggot." i just
looked at them. so, there was a crowd gathering by this time and these
kids were standing nearby and they said, "oh, look at him, he's insane."
i thought, ah-hah, here's my way out. i yelled at them, "take me to a mental
hospital right away. i wanna be be put away. please put me away, c'mon,
call the cops and put me away. please put me away now." they said, "alright,
faggot, we're calling the police." so they called the police. the cop comes
out and i go, ah, my savior, i'm away from these jocks. he opens up the
door, "get out of there, you," throws me up against the car, frisks me,
shoves me in the back. then he goes over to the jocks, "now what happened
here? it looks like we're going have to take him to jail but we got to
have the full story first" so the jocks, who had an ace in the hole, ace
in the hole [take down on the bass, a little bit down on the bass. yeah],
ace in the hole, and they go, "well, goddammit, the motherfucker put a
dent in my truck, a $5000 truck, right, so i got my club, i went out and
i wanted to kill him. i want to kill him. let me kill him, goddammit. let
me kill him." so the cop made them go home, and he drove me home, and he
confiscated their club and my rock as further evidence. and i thought,
so this is oregon, huh? tolerent oregon? ray, are you done with your guitar
yet? he isn't done yet. so what else do you want to hear, i'm out of stories.
that's a true story, too. just ask bruce loose.

KINKY SEX MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND
greetings...this is the secretary of war at the state department of
the united states...we have a problem. the companies want something done
about this sluggish world economic situation...profits have been running
a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth...now we know
there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your
country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage
private property. it doesn't look like they'll ever get a job...it's about
time we did something constructive with these people...we've got thousands
of 'em here too. they're crawling all over...the companies think it's time
we all sit down, have a serious get-together-and start another war...the
president? he loves the idea! all those missiles streaming overhead to
and fro...napalm...people running down the road, skin on fire...the soviets
seem up for it...the kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years.
hell, afghanistan's no fun...so whadya say?...we don't even have to win
this war. we just want to cut down on some of this excess population...now
look. just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can.
we'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some
speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and
send 'em on their way...libya? el salvador? how 'bout northern ireland?
or a "moderately repressive regime" in south america?...we'll just cook
up a good soviet threat story in the middle east-we need that oil...we
had libya all ready to go and colonel khadafy's hit squad didn't even show
up. i tell ya...that man is unreliable. the kremlin had their fingers on
the button just like we did for that one...now just think for a minute-we
can make this war so big-so big...the more people we kill in this war,
the more the economy will prosper...we can get rid of practically everybody
on your dole queue if we plan this right. take every loafer on welfare
right off our computer rolls...now don't worry about demonstrations-just
pump up your drug supply. so many people have hooked themselves on heroin
and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like vietnam. we had everybody
so busy with lsd they never got too strong. kept the war functioning just
fine...it's easy. we've got our college kids so interested in beer they
don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. put a nuclear
stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn't even know what it looked like...so
how 'bout it? look-war is money. the arms manufacturers tell me unless
we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going
to collapse...the soviets are in the same boat. we all agree the time has
come for the big one, so whadya say?!?...that's excellent. we knew you'd
agree...the companies will be very pleased.
THE PREY
you're from out of town i can tell that by your shoes flew in for the
convention getting tipsy in a bar you're leaving pretty late gotta get
up in the morning thinking she's just too expensive and you know you're...
probably... right there's no one on the streets and you can't find your
hotel you walk a little faster -someone's following you the wallet-size
bulge in your double-knit butt has money for me and maybe credit cards
you dart around the next corner you can't look around quick now, fish for
the keys for the door you don't even know where you are you walk a little
faster i walk a little faster sensing that i sense you now there's no escape
i can almost taste your dandruff as i reach for your face -and i strike
