The Tubes Genius Of America lyrics

(Cambra/Prince)
Gazworks/ASCAP/
Wongo Songo/BMI
Soft cell, hard trade
They'll steal the deal we made
Take to the sun and make it work by the hour
Talk like us 'til everyman turns sour
New improved, buy now
You can own the sacred cow
Recycled theme park dazzle me with fun
Gold mine garbage dump buy it by the ton
It's an exhibition, crucifiction,
an advertising dessicration
It licks away like the tide on a stone
It ticks away at you Genius of America
Break even, burn gas
Buried in waste right up to your ass
Turn a bottle to a bag on the ground
Get used to living in a cardboard town
A visionary luminary future's lookin' kinda scary
It licks away like the tide on a stone
It ticks away at you Genius of America
Quality, you mean quantity
Make it bigger, make it better
Spill it on the land
Spell it over, sell it over
It's a terrible thing to waste
