SCATTERBRAIN LYRICS
"Don't Call Me Dude" (1990 Single)
1. Don't Call Me Dude
2. That's That
1. Don't Call Me Dude
Here's my story, sad but true
About a girl that I once knew.
She broke my heart, I became unglued,
It all started when she called me dude
Well today I leave the psycho ward
Cause my sentence did conclude:
I had killed a man with my bare hands
Because he called me dude
The jury said that I was insane.
Temporally insane - brain strain.
But now the doctors say I'm A.O.K.
So I start my new life today.
This story starts some years ago
As I vacationed by the sea.
In the California sunshine
Just me & my baby.
I was in love feeling sky high
When a big blonde lifeguard walked by.
He looked at her, she looked at him -
I knew it was good bye.
He took her by the hand, kicked sand in my face.
She looked & laughed & said, "Later Dude!"
They were gone without a trace
And the waves echoed her laughter
And her words...Yo Later Dude.
Later that night I was in such a bad mood
Sittin' in a bar drinkin' hard, getting stewed
Thinkin' 'bout that girl & how 'bout I'd been screwed
When some guy walks in sits next to me & says
What's up dude!
I heard the word dude & I became unglued.
Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch
And put my hands around his neck, and I squeezed...
DON'T CALL ME DUDE!
So that's how I got where I am
But this ain't where it ends.
The doctors said they cured me
I said good bye to my crazy friends.
I was smiling as i left that place
My life had been renewed.
The guard at the gate, he stamped my pass
And he said, "Yo Later Dude!"
Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch
I put my hands around his neck and said
"you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jake,
But you don't, no, you didn't have to call me
DUDE!"
2. That's That
Color by numbers, stay inside the lines
Ya got a question? Check the rulebook, see the grand design -
See the world, wow! It's black & white,
Where rules are rules, and wrong is wrong
And right is right - That's right
Hey kids check it out,
Upside down or inside out,
This is it, it's what it's all about
Strike one, strike two, strike three you're out
It's seconds, minutes, hours, daze inside a maze,
Ya keep your feet upon the yellow bricks, you got it made
'Cause every piece of the puzzle fits the master plan,
In this pre-fabricated, formulated land.
It's every piece in it's place.
Red light, green light, simon sez
take a tiny step forward and ask again.
Nothing left to chance, this ain't no lottery
Play it safe, keep it simple - A, B, C - 1, 2, 3
That's good, but this is bad
Smile when you're happy, cry when you're sad
Hey kids check it out,
Upside down or inside out,
This is it, it's what it's all about
Strike one, strike two, strike three you're out
Check it out, see hear what it's all about
It's seconds, minutes, hours, daze inside a maze,
Ya keep your feet upon the yellow bricks, you got it made
'Cause every piece of the puzzle fits the master plan,
In this pre-fabricated, formulated land.
It's every piece in it's place.
Red light, green light, simon sez
take a tiny step forward and ask again.
Everybody this is this and I said that is that
See hear everybody this is where it's at - That's that.
Hey kids check it out,
Upside down or inside out,
This is it, it's what it's all about
Strike one, strike two, strike three you're out
Check it out, see hear what it's all about
This is this & that's that, check it out.
