Lyrics

The antipop

The earth it did crack open
On the day that I was born
And a thousand merry pranksters
Came dancin' through the storm

I lay cradle bound
A howlin' at the wind
Not knowin' years to come
I'd be shoutin' over din

I sucked information through the holes in my skull
As my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full

I am antipop; I'll run against the grain till the day I drop
I am the antipop; the man you cannot stop

As a young man
I plug into the tube
But the stench of all my pretense
I cannot muddle through

I lay on my back
And scan the radio
All that comes out my speakers
Is a steady syrup flow

I suck information through the holes in my skull
As my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full

I am antipop; I run against the grain till the day I drop
I am the antipop; the man you cannot stop

I stood by watching
And I seen 'em come and go
I seen 'em make that million
Then vanish into snow

They come upon you
Like a pack of rabid hounds
As they slobber in your ears
And purge you with their sounds

Pushing misinformation through the holes in my skull
My belly gurgles nauseous and still my mouth is full

I am antipop; I run against the grain till the day I drop
I am the antipop; the man you cannot stop
