Dead Kennedys Jock-o-rama Lyrics

Jock-o-rama Lyrics

You really like gorillas?
We've got just the pet for you
It's the way you're forced to act
To survive our schools 

Make your whole life revolve around sports
Walk tough-don't act too smart
Be a mean machine
Then we'll let you get ahead 

Jock-O-Rama-Save my soul 
We're under the thumb of the Beef Patrol 
The future of America is in their hands 
Watch it roll over Niagara Falls 
Pep rally in the holy temple
And you're forced to go
Masturbate en masse
With the favored religious cult 
Cheerleaders yell-"Ra Ra Team"
From the locker room parades the prime beef
When archaeologists dig this up
They'll either laugh or cry 

Jock-O-Rama-On the brain 
Redneck-a-thon drivin' me insane 
The future of America is in their hands 
Watch it roll over Niagara Falls 
Unzip that old time religion
On the almighty football field
Beerbellies of all ages
Come to watch the gladiators bleed 
"Now boys, this game ain't played for fun
You're going out there to win
How d'ya win?
Get out there
And snap the other guy's knee!" 

Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Ra Ra Ra
Snap those spinal cords
Ha Ha Ha 

The star quarterback lies injured
Unconscious on the football field
Looks like his neck's been broken
Seems to happen somewhere every year 

His mom and dad clutch themselves and cry
Their favorite son will never walk again
Coach says, "That boy gave a hundred percent
What spirit
What a man" 

But who cares?
Games over-Let's go get wasted man
To the 7-11, to the liquor store
Let's party all night and party some more 

Another Trans-Am
Wrapped itself around a telephone pole
"I ain't drunk, officer
I just fell gettin' out of my car" 

Don't worry about it, son
We were that way when we were young
You've got all the skills
To make a damn good businessman 

Jock-O-Rama-that's the law 
Come lick the butts of the Beef Patrol 
If the future of America is handed to them 
Watch it roll over Niagara Falls
