Bis--The New Transistor Heroes

TELL IT TO THE KIDS

Tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids

Hey you! Fascist man, working on your master plan
We know what we saw, won’t let you do more.
Hey you! Homophobe, life without your frontal lobe
Your prejudice lies while innocents die
Hey you! It’s the sound, in your hand goes round and round
You want it some more, your life is a bore
Hey you! Don’t be scared, bis are here and we don’t care
We’ll expose the lies, it’s the defense for the kids!

No use running now, we know what you did
We’re gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids
Gonna get you no, cuz that’s how it is
We’re gonna tell it to the kids, tell it to the kids

Hey you!  Poison pen, no use trying to pretend
You think you’re the best, now here’s the prole press.
Hey you! Businessman, getting as much as you can
We wanted the truth, we still want our youth
Hey you!  Backstabber, we know who and where you are
You let down the kids, yes that’s what you did
Hey you! Listen out, teen-c nation gives the shout
Retain the youth, it’s the defense for the kids!

No use running…..


Oh, oh, oh, oh, fighting for the nation’s youth
So, so, so, so, we can find out all the truth
No, no, no, no, no use hiding what you did
Oh, oh, oh, oh, we are gonna tell it to the 1-2 kids!!!


SWEET SHOP AVENGERS

Got no gaps in your teeth?  You must be happy.
Cola bottles, sugar coated
We’ve had sugar to eat, don’t try and stop me
Flying saucers filled with sherbet
We want the right to eat sweets without your frowning
Don’t tell us what we can’t do now
And we see the powers that be in sugar, drowning.
Ten pee mixture for the way home

This is an advertisement
Hey! Make way for the sweet shop avengers
So make the sweet adjustment
a-okay! We’re the sweet shop avengers

never too old to eat sweets, unless you feel it.
Chocolate mice with strawberry center
Reclaim the right to rot teeth, you know you need it
Candy shrimps, they’re foamy inside
It’s not a crime to be seen sucking a lolly
Vampire sweets that stick to your teeth
And it’s hardly obscene to fill your trolley
Ten pee mixture for the way home

This is an advertisement…..

Kneejerk!  It’s a sugar fascination
Kneejerk!  That infects the teen-c nation
Kneejerk!  But we love the sweet sensation
Kneejerk!  As it rots the population!


STARBRIGHT BOY

Yeah, we wanna star in an eighties movie
American bratpack members, truly
Yeah we want big hair, permed and curly
So we can wear shades, looking mean and surly.
Yeah we wanna can with a removable roof
So we can air our big hair, bypass the truth
That these things never happen in reality
But we’ll be pretty in pink, just wait and see

I’ll be the starbright boy
And you’re the starbright girl
I’ll be the starbright boy
And I’ll invade your world

Yeah we wanna star in a skateboard movie
And be bad at the stunts like all amateurs should be
But we’d have so much fun playing let’s pretend
That we’d get good at the stunts, showing off by the end
Yeah, we’ll steal sports cars from our dads, 
And we’ll fail our exams cuz it’s cool to be sad
Yeah, everyday could be a holiday
No school, no rule, just me to say….

CHORUS

We’ll be hanging around with Ferris Bueller
Meet Drew Barrymore cuz she’s way cooler.
Buy all our clothes on Rodeo Drive
Never flatliners, we’ll be alive
Upside down like we’re the lost boys
Endorse the starbright fake plastic toys
Until the white flag must be unfurled,
Just like Superman, we’ll invade your world


POPSTAR KILL

Hey popstar you look real silly
I want to kill you now (kill, kill, kill)
Hey popstar you’re such a fake
You really look a joke (joke, joke, joke)
Hey popstar, I hate your guts
You don’t deserve to live (die, die, die)
Hey popstar, get out my face
I hate the sight of you (hate, hate, hate)

One day you’ll realize
That you’re not that great
The people they hate you
They think you’re a fake

Hey popstar look at yourself
You are a fuckin state (fuck, fuck, fuck)
Hey popstar look at yourself
Oh why can’t you just wait (wait, wait, wait)

I am me
You’re not you
I like me
You love you
I am real
You’re not true
I hate you too

Hey popstar your time has come
Now we know who you are (who, who, who)
Hey popstar give up the fight
You’re looking like a fool (fool, fool, fool)
Hey popstar you’re just pretend
The kids won’t be deceived (no, no, no)
Hey popstar you’re killing me
We just want the truth (truth, truth, truth)


MR. IMPORTANT

He remains defiant to the cuase
Though he never quite knew what it was
He’s working hard for the main upstairs
Seen him once, he’s losing his hair

Mr. Important, he’s better than you
Index and quotient, he knows what to do
Socially impotent, he drinks with the lads
Mr. Important, in bachelor pads

His parents would be very proud
If only he stood out from the crowd
And made a name that was his own,
No corporations, just his alone

CHORUS

But mum and dad, they were so sad
When he lost the job, the bachelor pad
And he just went back home to stay
Now mum and dad want him away

ANTISEPTIC POETRY

Is hate really negative, is love really positive?

It’s not my place to speak about emotion
Other side of my face, dealing with devotion
Who will want to know?  Too hard to be personal
Who will want to know?  Run the risk of losing all
Who will want to know?  Where did I find this heart?
Who will want to know?  Anaesthetic jump-star!

Is hate really negative, is love really positive?

Yeah, I can feel misplaced, redfaced and nervous
But it’s no disgrace, she uses super space-dust
Who will want to know?  Lets me know I’m still a kid
Who will want to know?  And it’s okay to act like it
Who will want to know?  Makes me happy for a while
Who will want to know?  Galactic movie-star smile.

Is hate really negative, is love really positive?

No strong point, not my territory
No strong point, subject new to me
No strong point, heart stings, it’s a hit
No strong point and no anaesthetic

Is hate really negative, is love really positive?


POPYURA

I was six years old and a fast lane victim
Tattered jeans and pigtails, going to self-destruct
I’m gonna suck your mother, and lack self-respect
Reveal my hopes and fears of a lost girl

Teenage sex
Star descent
Let’s go steady
There’s one more name

Don’t get me from school as I won’t be there
Exploited, cheated and angry is the way I feel
Where are you today while I crave some love
Out of control and numb is the child I am


SKINNY TIE SENSURROUND

It’s the sound, it’s around
In skinny-tie sensurround


POSTER PARENT

Who’s your favourite person, and do you know them personally?
Maybe he’s a she and she’s a reject, she’s just like me
Does it make your bones breake, when you’re sitting thinking of them?
Does it make your cold heart seize, again, again, again, again, again?

I’ve got blu-tack on my back
Got it signed with personal thanx
Take it down?  You bet I daren’t
I’m hanging over like a poster parent

Wanna know he’s mine, and that he’ll never cheat on me
Cuz everywhere I go, his face is all that I can see
Maybe it’s just he’s more popular than I assumed
Maybe I’ll go one better, I’ll get his stone cold heart exhumed

CHORUS

Boyfriend, don’t try to stop me
Boyfriend, I love you equally
Boyfriend, but this is inherent
Boyfriend, I need my poster parent


MONSTARR

Can I not be normal cuz I’m not a size 10
Play music, be in films or even show my face
Should I be embarrassed if it’s such a crime
Funny how your life depends on your waistline

Should I kill myself?  You’re my execution
Why’s being slim important, no one is a monster
Don’t steal their confidence, it’s not yours to take
I don’t want to be a model, at least I’m not fake

Funny how your life depends on your waistline

I am gonna make it, I’m not gonna fake it,
Not for the sake of it, yes I’m gonna take it


EVERYBODY THINKS THAT THEY’RE GOING TO GET THEIRS

You see them looking on with interest
And someone says it’s the start of a contest
They only want to be like you
They only want to be like you
They dance around and shout about it
Until they finally get their own bit
They only want to be like you
They only want to be like you

So you shout something new, everyone stares
Everybody thinks that they’re going to get theirs
And they cut off your hands—no one really cares
Everybody thinks that they’re going to get theirs

So tell a lie or twist the story
Should someone say it’s getting boring?
They only hit back at you
Because they only want to be like you
But still they’re looking on with interest
Waiting to see the results of this test
They’ll say that none of this is true
Oh but I know they want to be like you

CHORUS

Ooooooooh…..ska!


REBEL SOUL

We’ve got nothing to prove but you’ve got something to lose
We might not take it all, we only want your rebel soul
Give a little rebel, I got a blue heart
Give a little rebel, and it’s a new hurt
It’s time to let the people khnow
You’ll never take our rebel soul.

A bad influence on youth,
But we’re the message of the truth
Teen-c power unites us all
And all the kids have got a rebel soul

Our spirits will never sell out, but your mind is a shadow of doubt
Won’t be diluted to satisfy you, no matter what you think is true
Give a little rebel soul, I’m not your playboy
Give a little rebel soul, the rebel soul boy
It’s time to let the people know
You’ll never take our rebel soul

CHORUS


PHOTO SHOP

I buy records cuz my boyfriend says so
I make friends cuz my boyfriend says so
I wear these clothes cuz my boyfriend says so
I am this way cuz my boyfriend says so

I want the best and I need the best
I love my boyfriend
He is my friend cuz he is the trend
I love my boyfriend

I am angry cuz my boyfriend says so
I am happy cuz my boyfriend says so
I am submissive cuz my boyfriend says so
I am outrageous cuz my boyfriend says so

CHORUS

Hey girlfriend you’re suffocating me
I got friends and other people to see
You want love, you got to give me space
Hey girlfriend, no tears on your face

I am outmoded cuz my boyfriend says so
I am defective cuz my boyfriend says so
I kill myself cuz my boyfriend says so
I sing this song cuz my boyfriend says so


X-DEFECT

Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect

I am consumer, I am prostitute
I am concealer, I am not like you

Your excuses always are so lame
You are giving me a bad name
Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect
Always hiding in your office blocks
Every hour, all day round the clock
Retrogressive sex, I am the x-defect

I am incomplete, I am incorrect
I am apology, I am defect

CHORUS

I told you so, you won’t let go
You can’t pretend, we are not men

You always try to be like me
You’ll never get my sympathy
Retrogressive sex, x-defect
And if you leave me black and blue
You know the scum will get to you
Retrogressive sex, x-defect



LIE DETECTOR TEST

What if the world splits into two
Would you lie in the fracture, or look for the glue
What if the bomb drops out of the sky
Would you watch the explosion, or just run and hide
I know it seems easier than it really is
What if the liar once told the truth
Would it destroy your conceptions by the skin of your tooth?

What if your friends turned out to be fakes
Would you say that you knew or admit your mistakes?
What if your friends were lying to you
Would you see through the reason or think it was true?
I know it seems easier than it really is
What if the liar once told the truh
Would you hear the protesting or destroy the youth?

Lie detector….


DINOSAUR GERMS

We got submissive society
We got a dinosaur monopoly
And all their germs infecting me
We got stars charisma free
We got a passive mentality
Worship the safe, abhor the unique
And never stop to ask the questions

Hi-fi, lo-fi, sci-fi’s my fi!
Don’t you know that you’ve got
Dinosaur germs

We thought dinosaurs were extinct
But now we know that you’re the missing link
It hurts the head when it has to think
No more excuses, take the rest
But you forgot to take what is best
With all respect, this is not a test
And never stop to ask the questions

CHORUS

Uh, over and out, yeah!


ROLLERBLADE ZERO

You said they were your long life passion
You bought them in the height of the fashion
Went to Argos just like your friends
Look to see the most you could spend
One girl was different on your street
She bought a skateboard from Concrete
Everyone laughed, skateboards are out
She didn’t belong to the rollerblade crowd
Yeah

No rollerblade zero (4x)

Four little wheels all in a row
Strap ‘em up and you’re ready to go
She didn’t listen, she just ignored
Her only friend was her hook-ups board
She can use it ever when her feet grow
She loves skating it’s not just for show
Until there becomes a new street trend
Her rollerblade hell will never end

No rollerblade zero (4x)

The wise men say, hey
That fashion comes and fashion fades
Why don’t the say, hey there’s no room 
For your rollerblades (2x)

No rollerblade zero (4x)

CHORUS

Okay, okay, yes fashion comes and fashion fades
But please refrain from refrain from wearing your rollerblades
Okay, okay, yes, fashion comes and fashion fades
Please remove all traces of your rollerblades

No…. rollerblade zero…


TEAM THEME

Let’s go, bis go!

We use the freedom
From the sonic pollution
To create the sounds, hail our revolution
Just ‘cos we come ablaze and you can’t keep up
Won’t sink to your level ‘cos we’ve had enough

We want the static, the disco
Yeah from our radio-o

If you hate us, we don’t care
There’s teen-c kids everywhere
We want you, do you dare
Live for life, are you scared?
If you hate us, we don’t care

There’s teen-c kids everywhere
We are gonna hit you where it hurts
Let’s go, bis go!

We’re at the party and we’re ready to disco
Need inspiration, there’s no style, oh no
More plastic people and they’re coming at you
Better make an exit ‘cos we’re coming through

We want the static, the disco
Yeah from our radio-o

We want the static, the disco
Yeah from our radio-o

CHORUS

We want the static, the disco
Yeah from our radio-o

CHORUS 2X
