lyrics

i'm
not gonna play your mind games
not gonna join your club
no one needs your commentary
you speak more than is necessary
why don't ya

get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)
why don't ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)

no one wants to fake a smile
pretend like they want you to stay
you're not funny and you're not smart
it's time to just go away
why don't ya

get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)
why don't ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)

your opinions do not matter
[farsi language]
mine do they make more sense
[farsi language]
you've got some learnin' to do
[farsi language]
right now nothin' getting through to you

you voted for george bush
now that just don't make sense
you thought that he was talkin' to you
but he was talking to the rich
he said three words "i'll cut taxes"
and then you fell in love
tax cuts came, the rich got more and we
started up a war

get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)
why don't ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)

i know i sing off key
it just sounds cool to me
this is a punk rock band
you wouldn't understand

why don't ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)
why don't ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, why dont' ya
get a brain, a brain
(why don't ya get a brain)

your opinions do not matter
[farsi language]
mine do they make more sense
[farsi language]
you've got some learnin' to do
[farsi language]
right now nothin' getting through to you

i've got a brain, i've got a brain, why
dont you get a brain, too?
