Grey Matter [Boingo Alive] Lyrics by Oingo Boingo

Anthology

1982

They say you're stupid
That you're too young to vote
They say you'll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat
They say that you can't think
That you haven't got a brain
That you're just there to listen
That you're just being trained
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
They say you lost the ability to even think
That your tiny little brain
Slipped down the kitchen sink
They say that you'll buy anything
That they turn your way
That you'll listen to everything
That they decide to play
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
I think you like it—like it
To be told what to do—ain't that true
I think you're better—better—better off
Stone cold dead—without your head
They say you're stupid
That you're too young to vote
They say you'll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat
If they say, "Lie down," you'll do it
If they say, "Buy it now," you'll do it
If they say, "Turn around," you'll do it
If they say, "Hit the ground," you'll do it
If they say, "Bite the big weenie," you'll do it
If they say, "Wasn't that good?" you'll do it
If they say, "Bend over, baby," you'll do it
If they say, "take it and like it"!
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Ooh...grey matter...
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter
Grey matter, grey matter, ooh...
Grey matter, grey matter
