Underwear goes inside the pants

[Zindy]

Have any of you heard of the group Lazyboy? I am just wondering cause I find them rather interesting. I really like the contest of their songs, some of the lyrics are meaningful and gives you something to think about, I really like that.

What do you think about them/the lyrics?

Here's the lyrics to the song currently played on MTV:

Underwear Goes Inside The Pants
~by Lazyboy

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal?
It’s a natural plant that grows in the dirt.
Do you know what’s not natural?
80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That’s not natural.
But we got pills for that.
We’re dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,
but we’re putting people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt?

You know we have more prescription drugs now.
Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad.
I can’t watch TV for four minutes without thinking
I have five serious diseases.
Like: “Do you ever wake up tired in the morning?”
Oh my god I have this, write this down.
Whatever it is, I have it.
Half the time you don’t even know what the commercial is…
people running through fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
I’m like that is the greatest disease ever.
How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.

The schools now… It is all about self-esteem in the schools.
Build the kids’ self-esteem,
make them feel good about themselves.
If everybody grows up with high self-esteem,
who is going to dance in our strip clubs?
What’s going to happen to our porno industry?
These women don’t just grown on trees.
It takes lots of drunk daddys missing a lot of dance recitals
before you decide to blow a goat on the internet for fifty bucks.
And if that disappears,
where does that leave me on a Friday
with my new high speed connection?

CHORUS:
baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing your song,
sing for me,c'mon now sing, baby sing sing sing, sing your song,
sing to me, sing a song

Masterminds are another word that comes up all the time.
You keep hearing about these uh these terrorists masterminds
that get killed in the middle east.
Terrorists masterminds.
Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe
what these guys do, don’t you think?
They’re not masterminds.
“OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in backpack.
Then you get on bus and you blow yourself up.”
“Why do I have to blow myself up? Why don’t I put…”
“Who’s the ****ing mastermind here? Me or you?”

Americans, let’s face it: We’ve been a spoiled country for a long time.
Do you know what the number one health risk in America is?
Obesity, obesity.
They say we’re in the middle of an obesity epidemic.
An epidemic like it is polio.
Like we’ll be telling our grand kids about it one day.
The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004.
“How’d you get through it grandpa?”
“Oh, it was horrible Johnny,
there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere.”

Nobody knows why were getting fatter
Look at our lifestyle.
I’ll sit at a drive thru.
I’ll sit there for I'll sit there behind fifteen other cars instead of getting up to
make the eight foot walk to the totally empty counter.
Everything is mega meal, super sized.
Want biggie fries with that?, want a jumbo fries with that?, want to go large.
You want to have thirty burgers for a nickel you fat mother ****er.
There’s room in the back. Take it!
Want a 55 gallon drum of Coke with that?
It’s only three more cents.

CHORUS:
sing, sing, sing, sing your song,
sing for me,c'mon now sing, sing sing sing, sing your song,
sing to me, sing a song

Sometimes you have to suffer a little in your youth
to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.
Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school,
do you think there’d be a Microsoft?
Of course not.
You got to spend a long time stuffed in your own locker with your underwear
wedged up your ass before you start thinkin
“I’m going to take of the world with computers! you'll see, I’ll show them.”

We’re in one of the richest countries in the world,
but the minimum wage is lower now than it was thirty five years ago.
There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then
I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that’s what I’m going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys.
Like if you give them money they’re just going to waste it.
He's gonna waste the money.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do?
Save it up and buy a wall unit.
Take a little run to the store for a throw-rug and a cd rack.
He’s homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looks right at the homeless guy and says,
"Why don’t you go get a job you bum?"
People always say that to homeless guys "get a job" like it's always that easy.
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.
Outside his pants.
I’m guessing his resume isn’t all up to date.
I’m predicting some problems during the interview process.
I’m pretty sure even McDonalds has an
“underwear goes inside the pants” policy.
Not that they enforce it very strictly,
but technically I’m sure it is in the books.

CHORUS:
baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing your song,
sing for me,c'mon now sing, sing sing sing, sing your song,
sing to me, sing a song

Yeah Zindy, I like that song. Alot of the issues they raise are true. They don't play it on the radio here anymore...it came out a while ago I think.

[Nas-T]

I don't think it came out here yet.. maybe soon I dunno..
Good lyrics

Heheh.

One of the most intense spoken-word songs I heard was "Liar" by Henry Rollins, because it was about the deep emotions and revelations about love, and that men are pigs (this is news?) Lyrics are easy to find on the Internet because tons of fans want to present them to you, but half of them get the lyrics wrong. Anyway, totally at random, I found the lyrics on

Also fun was Jane Siberry singing "Mimi On the Beach" (80's pop-like, singing and spoken bits):

Also search for Laurie Anderson, for little stories done to minimalist 80's electronic music.
