Less Than Zero - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Calling Mister Oswald with the swastika tattoo

There is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo

Carving 'V' for vandal on the guilty boy's head

When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed

To teach him he's alive 'fore he wishes he was dead

Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect

Even your mother won't detect it

So your father won't know

They think that I've got no respect

But everything means less than zero

Hey, red

Oswald and his sister are doing it again

They've got the finest home movies that you have ever seen

They've got a thousand variations: every service with a smile

They're going to take a little break, and they'll be back after a while

Well, I hear that South America is coming into style

Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect

Even your mother won't detect it

So your father won't know

They think that I've got no respect

But everything means less than zero

Hey, red

A pistol was still smoking; a man lay on the floor

Mister Oswald said he had an understanding with the law

He said he heard about a couple living in the USA

He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet

Let's talk about the future now, we've put the past away

Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect

Even your mother won't detect it

So your father won't know

They think that I've got no respect, but

Everything means less than zero

Hey, red

Hey, red

Hey, hey

Hey, red

Hey
