1989 Lyrics by Mindless Self Indulgence

You’ll Rebel to Anything (Japan Release)

2005

[Verse]
Goodbye 1989
I wanna be the one in control
Rock my white shoes, bolo tie
The next big thing for five years running

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not your turn
It's not your turn, yet!
[Clapping]

[Chorus]
Back off, you little shits!
Gnawing at my bits!
I see they breed you by the boatload!
Back off, you little whores!
Get 'em on all fours!
And let me beat you to the fucking punch bowl!

[Refrain]
My body's not even cold!
My act is just getting old!

[Verse]
Goodbye 1989
I wanna be the one in control
Rock my white shoes, bolo tie
The next big thing for five years running

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not your turn
It's not your turn, yet!

[Chorus]
Back off, you little shits!
Gnawing at my bits!
I see they breed you by the boatload!
Back off, you little whores!
Get 'em on all fours!
And let me beat you to the fucking punch bowl!

[Refrain]
My body's not even cold!
My act is just getting old... old... old
(Woo!)

[Bridge]
Ugh!
Some babies wanna get down like this
We eat what we like
Oh, oh, oh, woo!
Ugh!
Some babies wanna get down like this
We hate what we like
(Woo!)

[Chorus]
Back off, you little shits!
Gnawing at my bits!
I see they breed you by the boatload!
Back off, you little whores!
Get 'em on all fours!
And let me beat you to the fucking punch!

[Refrain]
My body's not even cold!
My act is just getting old...
