Lyrics

William shatner/henry rollins

Bill: let's go. ready? from the top..
Bill: my favorite shows on tv have twelve minutes of advertising. I can't get behind that kind of time!
Rollins: eat quickly. drive faster. make more money now! I can't get behind that
Bill: my kids say: he said to me, and I'm like... and he's like... and she's like..
Rollins: it's all... he's all... she's all..
Bill: I can't get behind that kind of like, english!
Bill: that'll be six to eight weeks before delivery
Rollins: the rising oceans, the warming temperatures!
Bill: the dying polar bears--no, tigers--in fifty years!
Rollins: rising poison in the air and water!
Bill: I can't understand why the price of gas suddenly rises when oil goes up..
Rollins: ...but takes months to go down long after oil falls!
Bill: I can't get behind any of that!
Bill: I can't get behind the gods, who are more vengeful, angry, and dangerous if you don't believe in them!
Rollins: why can't all these gods just get along? I mean, they're omnipotent and omnipresent, what's the problem?
Bill: what's the problem?
Bill: what about the men who say 'do as I do. believe in what I say, for your own good, or I'll kill you!' I can't get behind that!
Rollins: I can't get behind that! everybody knows everything about all of us!
Bill: that's too much knowledge!
Both: I can't get behind that!
Bill: yeah! and what about student drivers using my streets to learn? if you learn to play the drums you got to go to a studio! go to a parking lot, for god's sake! why are you jeopardizing my life? I can't get behind a student driver!
Rollins: I can't behind a driver who drives like a student driver! if you're going to drive an urban assault vehicle then get off the phone and keep your eyes on the road!
Rollins: lifetime guarantee?
Bill: who's lifetime? not mine! I haven't that much time left. let's make it yours. everybody's got a longer life than me!
Bill: the leaf blowers, is there anything more futile?
Rollins: car alarms
Bill: clap off
Rollins: clap on
Bill: spam
Rollins: size matters
Bill: no, it doesn't!
Rollins: yes, it does!
Bill: no, it doesn't
Rollins: yes, it does!
Bill: no, it doesn't!
Rollins: yes, it does!
Bill: no, it doesn't! no, it doesn't!
Rollins: yes, it does! yes, it does!
Bill: my phone rings!
Rollins: make millions in minutes!
Bill: it's a computer!
Rollins: lose inches in hours!
Bill: leave me the hell alone!
Rollins: eat more! spend less!
Bill: the colonel is breakdancing! give me a break!
Rollins: credit terms raised!
Bill: I can't get behind any of that!
Bill: I can't get behind so-called singers that can't carry a tune, get paid for talking, how easy is that? well, maybe I could get behind that!
Rollins: well, I can't! if you have to fix it with a computer: quantized, pitch corrected, and overly inspected, then you can't do it, and I can't get behind that!
Bill: i--can't--get behind--a fat ass!
Rollins: yeah, bill, can you turn around and do one more?
Bill: always can do one more
Rollins: let's hit it!
