DON’T LET SOCIETY DICTATE HOW YOU SMELL, STINK IN SOLIDARITY!

lyrics

All my life people tell me,
"Boy that's not how you should smell!"
Mum said, "Eight O'Clock is bath time."
Bubbles go to hell!

My rhymes are the freshest,
But my breath sure ain't!
My bars are rambunctious,
And my funk knows no restraint!

Open up your nostrils,
And take a sniff around!
Corporations pushing shower gel,
That's how they keep you down!

Minor Threat cut drugs and alcohol,
From coming to their shows,
Now the R-27 Crew,
Are banning clean clothes!

We are starting a new movement,
Because soap pollutes the water.
Can't you smell the lies,
Like a lamb can smell the slaughter!?

We are the Great Unwashed,
And we're humming pretty prime,
Because our prehistoric pong,
Will put the future right!

Take a deep breath,
Taste the tang of solidarity!
Brothers and Sisters,
We smell of humanity!

I have stunk, and I'll stank,
And I'll never change my ways!
Take a tip, take a shit,
And we'll stink against the state!

Don't tell me how to smell!

I don't brush my teeth,
I like to pick my nose!
I don't wash my pits,
And I never change my clothes!

Forget to wipe my butt!
Living in my car!
Never run a bath,
And my hygiene is sub-par!

Lice in my pubes!
Lice in my pubes!
Lice in my pubes!
Lice in my pubes!
Pubes!
Lice in my pubes!
Lice in my pubes!
Lice in my pubes!
Lice in my pubes-pubes-pubes-pubes-pubes-pubes-pubes!

Breaking out in rash!
Spots are leaking ooze!
Fungi on my foot,
And my shoes are growing 'shrooms!

Girls all think I've got the plague,
I've never gotten laid!
Symptoms are bubonic,
And the remedy is chronic!

DON'T TELL ME HOW TO SMELL!
