The Tubes - Genius Of America lyrics

(cambra/prince) Gazworks/ascap/ Wongo songo/bmi Soft cell, hard trade They'll steal the deal we made Take to the sun and make it work by the hour Talk like us 'til everyman turns sour New improved, buy now You can own the sacred cow Recycled theme park dazzle me with fun Gold mine garbage dump buy it by the ton It's an exhibition, crucifiction, An advertising dessicration It licks away like the tide on a stone It ticks away at you genius of america Break even, burn gas Buried in waste right up to your a** Turn a bottle to a bag on the ground Get used to living in a cardboard town A visionary luminary future's lookin' kinda scary It licks away like the tide on a stone It ticks away at you genius of america Quality, you mean quantity Make it bigger, make it better Spill it on the land Spell it over, sell it over It's a terrible thing to waste
