Do It All The Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We’re taking over the world
One kiss at a time
And then I’m taking your girl
And I’m making her mine

[Pre-Chorus 1]
No reason why
I’m only doing anything I want to do
Because I do it all the time

[Verse 2]
We’re taking over the world
A little victimless crime
And when I’m taking your innocence
I’ll be corrupting your mind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No need to cry
I’m only doing anything I want to do
Because I do it all the time
(Do it all the time)

[Chorus]
Now we’re so young, but we’re probably gonna die
It’s so fun, we’re so good at selling lies
We look so good and we never even try
Get your money from a trust fund
Do it all the time

[Verse 3]
We’re taking over the world
One kiss at a time
And then I’m taking your girl
And I’m making her mine, I’m making her mine

[Pre-Chorus 3]
No reason why
I’m only doing anything I want to do
(Do it all the time)

[Chorus]
Now we’re so young, but we’re probably gonna die
And it’s so fun, we’re so good at selling lies
We look so good and we never even try
I don’t wanna do it, but I’ll do it ’cause I do it all the time
Now we’re so young, but we’re probably gonna die
It’s so fun, we’re so good at selling lies
We look so good and we never even try
Get your money from a trust fund
Do it all the time

EP ‘1981 Extended Play’ (2018)
Description
This footage was first thought to be a conceptual art piece produced by the band before making music videos had become standard music industry practice. While the exact date and circumstances under which it was produced are unclear, the anonymous donor of the footage claims that it had been screened to students for nearly twenty years as part of the public school curriculum, until its use was discontinued in 1984…

Choke

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stop, drop
And drag me into place
And lock the fire escapes
I’ll break your pretty face
(Nyeah, nyeah)

[Verse 2]
Oh, you clever little things
The sycophantic teens
What a precious basket case
(Nyeah, nyeah)

[Chorus]
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn’t hesitate
To smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine
And what a lovely time
That it would surely be
So bite your tongue
And choke yourself to sleep
(Nyeah, nyeah)

[Verse 3]
You get everything you want
And money always talks
To the idiot savants
(Nyeah, nyeah)
[Chorus]
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn’t hesitate
To smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine
And what a lovely time
That it would surely be
So bite your tongue
And choke yourself to sleep

[Chorus]
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn’t hesitate
To smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine, oh
And what a lovely time
That it would surely be
So bite your tongue
And choke yourself
(Nyeah, nyeah)

EP ‘1981 Extended Play’ (2018)
Description
‘Pop Time Live’ was a short-lived music television program that aired briefly in Eastern Europe in the early 1980s. The show, and its producers, had hoped to capitalize on the then popular ‘Italo Disco’ movement, but audiences found its lack of authenticity objectionable.

Labeled ‘NOT FOR BROADCAST,’ it is believed that this particular iDKHOW performance never made it to air due to the band’s refusal to properly pantomime to their own song.

Social Climb

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come break some hearts now, tear them out
File in for amusements with the crowd
Oh, but be advised, participation is required
Doing things not typically allowed

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like we’re having a good time
It’s true, a wonderfully good time

[Chorus]
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you

[Verse 2]
Defend your factions, cut the lines
Leagues of social climbers are abound
Oh, but be advised, no restitution comes tonight
‘Less we lay unconscious in the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like we’re having a good time
It’s true, a wonderfully good time

[Chorus]
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
Hey!

[Bridge]
But if the lights don’t stop me
No one’s got control of what I do
‘Cause it’s a good time

[Chorus]
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you
(Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh)
When I’m with you

Leave Me Alone

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big shot, so what? Do you wanna pretend?
You took the money, but the money couldn’t buy a friend

[Chorus]
Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don’t
Oh, you’re a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

[Verse 2]
Blind spot, take your best shot, lucky me
Go fly a kite until you’re tangled in the hanging tree

[Chorus]
Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don’t
Oh, you’re a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

[Bridge]
Four in the morning but we’re having such a lovely time
Mad as a hatter with a dagger and a dollar sign
Aristocrat, tip your hat and break your mother’s heart
And when the sun comes up you’ll find a brand new god
(Hey, come on)
(A brand new god)
(Oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don’t
Oh, you’re a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

Nobody Likes the Opening Band

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, come and see the opening band
Now that you’ve got your tickets and beverages in hand
They look so tired, sound uninspired, guitars are secondhand
‘Cause no one likes an opening band

[Verse 2]
Nobody likes the opening band
Their set time’s far too early and I’ve never heard of them
And chances are they won’t go far, career is sure to end
‘Cause no one likes an opening band

[Bridge]
Oh, unfamiliar things will make us nervous
But singing here for you gives me a purpose, so

[Verse 3]
Take pity on the opening bands
‘Cause no one came to see them except their mom and dad
But if you lend an ear and give them just one little chance
You may just like the–
You may just like the–
You may just like the opening band

Modern Day Cain

Lyrics

[Intro]
Dance
Dance
That’s enough

[Verse 1]
A modern concussion
The room is on fire
You’re an upstanding model
Of a modern day Cain
With impeccable style

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But now you’ve done a little wrong
And you need to be forgiven
By the vicar and the company you keep
And then you conjure up a fiction
To get the pretty girl to listen

[Chorus]
This is the sin
That I will confess to release myself
From consequence
And everyone can tell

[Verse 2]
The moral objections
To something so profane
But the deepest of convictions
Are the darkest positions
Little remissions for the varicose vain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now you’ve done a little wrong
And you swear you didn’t do it
But volition left you burdened with a curse
And then you conjure up a fiction
To get the pretty girls to listen

[Chorus]
This is, the sin, that I
Will confess to release myself
From consequence
And everyone can tell
This is, the sin, that I
Will confess to release myself
From consequence
And everyone can tell
This is, the sin, that I
Will confess to release myself
From consequence
And everyone can tell

[Outro]
And everyone can tell
And everyone can tell
