Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Operation: Sha La La is officially commenced!
Miss Asp seems frantic
How do you think my puke effect worked?
You got your sick all over my new jacket!
I think it was effective!
Sheila's probably heading in the bathroom now, about to open the window
I'm nervous
Don't be, it's all going according to plan!
Your fathead friend lost her lunch all over my spiffy duds
Better go clean yourself up before Asp sees you like that
You girls can't tell me what to do
Go!
What's going on here?
Cran-Apple Banana Betty with Fruited Gelatin Whip!
I'm sure Mr. Rusk won't even notice it's overdone
In Nation, we call it browned
Well, everywhere else we call it burned
Agh!
Why are you screaming?!
Because we're so fucking excited!
Sheila got sick on me and now the smell of it is making me feel sick…
No, if you must eliminate, go do so out back!
Buzz can't go out back, he just can't!
I'm beginning to think something queer is going on around here
You girls really do have powers don't you?!
Mark my words, before today is done
You will rue the day you ever crossed Miss Margaret Asp
[Verse 2]
Miss Asp, look! She was out back running toward the street and I tackled her!
You have made a mockery of Nation for the last time
All of you
Aren't you gonna get that?
It's Life Magazine
[Verse 3]
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
It's okay, but what are we gonna do?
Asp is going to kill us now
Life will save us, the reporter is here
We'll tell him about Harriet
And he'll check the files
And call the police and
[Verse 4]
There's been a riot at Ol' Miss University
Western Union delivered the telegram
Several are dead, and Mr. Rusk has been assigned to the story
Life Magazine is not coming, not now, not ever
[Verse 5]
Maybe another magazine can visit us?
Better Prisons and Gardens, maybe?
You've ruined it, you girls, from the future
We aren't from the future, we are the future
You must be stopped, it's for your own good, Suzy!
My name is Susannah and I don't want to look like Doris Day
Neither do I!
Neither do I!
And I don't want to be the colored, suicidal, ukulele playing June Cleaver
I'm the black, weird Susannah Son
That's right Susannah!
You can't force us to be something we don't want to be!
Yeah! We won't be silenced!
[Verse 6]
You think I had it easy?!
You think the things done to me weren't as cruel and hateful as things done to all of you?
I had no choice!
[Verse 7]
Well you've got one now, Margaret!
You're either with us or you're against us
I just wanted a photograph!
Can't you all just go away?
We will not disappear!
[Verse 8]
I just wanna transcend
I won't stop until
They can all comprehend
That we are not ill
I already know that I'm whole
Not something in between
Now the number one goal
Is I just wanna be seen
I just wanna be seen
[Verse 9]
Give me that ukulele!
[Verse 10]
S-T-O-P
You won't touch my family
H-A-T-E
Will not take my love from me
Hey, Buzz, still wanna cop a feel?
[Verse 11]
Revolution in the institution
Evolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Evolution in the institution
[Verse 12]
Revolution in the institution
Evolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Evolution in the institution
[Verse 13]
You can revolt all you want, but Nation still stands!
Not for long it doesn't, hit it, Ya-Ya!
This is for Harriet, you son of a bitch!
[Verse 14]
Hate nation is coming down
It's coming down tonight
Hate nation is coming down
We're putting up a fight
[Verse 15]
Freedom, soon it'll be everything
That we've been dreaming of
Freedom nation will be erased and be replaced
With love
