Shock-locks Lyrics

Shock-locks lyrics

Shock-locks, understand: you alone are mild

    Mane to sneaker-string,
clothes and everything



    Self-cropped, boy-chopped hair, tough
and cut and wild

    Each lock like a switch-blade blade switched open,
exploding like a star



    You took a jumbo-jet out of Kansai --
Osaka -- crashed the Chicago sky

    Came down where the biggest building
stands to seek a life of design

    When the INS man asked, "watcha doing
here, watcha doing here, my child?"

    You said you'd come for school
and study, but you're gonna school us

    Gonna school us all just
fine



    And I'd advise the wise, "start shaking!" -- as for a
fool like me,

    The wild one alone is the mild one.



   
Shock-locks, understand: you can bear my child.

    Let's dishevel
things, let's hit everything!



    Let's kill, let's destroy, let's
impose some style

    Make the radius of the wreckage stretch out a
thousand miles



    It's here we'll raise our epicentral stage --
I'm gonna build a shrine

    And history books will soon omit the Great
Chicago Fire

    And give grand terms to the... subversions now that we
all call crimes

    And the post-blast motives in art-book photos of
future times

    Will be of your design



    And I'd advise
the wise, "start shaking!" -- as for a fool like me,

    The wild one
alone is the mild one.
