"Sleater-Kinney: Call The Doctor"SLEATER-KINNEY: "CALL THE DOCTOR"
1) CALL THE DOCTOR they want to socialize you
they want to purify you
they want to dignify and analyze and terrorize you
this is love and you can't make it
in a formula or shake me
i'm your monster i'm not like you
all your life is written for you
(look out they want what you know
steal a kid break a heart steal the show
peel back the skin what's there
i'll never show you what's in here)
your life is good for one thing
you're messing with what's sacred
they want to simplify your needs and likes
to sterilize you
this is love and you can't make it
in a formula or break me
i'm your monster i'm just like you
all my life is right before you
(don't need you to explain the pain
i can prove to you it's all fake
she's dead but she can stand she can walk
call the doctor miracle she can talk)
call the doctor
this is love and you can't break it
in a formula or make me
i'm no monster i'm just like you
all my life is right before me
(this is not really me at all
stunt girl daring twirls watch me fall
carbon copy same body different hearts
can't tell anymore the real parts)
2) HUBCAP write in passing when there's time
hide the paper hide my mind
keep you quiet keep you blind
don't rock the boat don't read the sign
you're my co-pilot but you're
not my god pilot
you take everything
you take what I want
want from you is so defined
your suit and tie your shiny smile
your calm belief your piece of mind
i'll trade you for it then run then fly
you're my co-pilot but you're
not my god pilot
you take everything
you take what i want
(talk late words advice
this late time flies
watch wait words lies)
3) LITTLE MOUTH damn you
damn you
smile pretty take take the money
you know me well huh don't you?
smile pretty take take the money
you know how to sell? i do.
i'm your little mouth don't you want me?
damaged goods
oh you wanna try her uh i think i wanna
damn you
4) ANONYMOUS she's worried she said too much
and talking i'm talking she's talking like books i read
it's easy it's easy it's easy to shut yourself off
never on the record it'll never show up
she wants to be to be anonymous
i sign i sign i sign anonymous
feel safe, inside, inside those well drawn lines
boyfriend, a car, a job, my white girl life
she swallowed a spider to catch, to catch that fly
but i don't know why, why she swallowed that lie
she wants to be to be anonymous
i sign i sign i sign anonymous
she wants to be to be like everybody else
i sign i sign i sign anonymous
not enough for you to know
not enough for you to own
these words are all i have
these words are who i am
5) STAY WHERE YOU ARE i can't find you
stay where you are
i'm in the dark
stay where you are
(i'm alright
i feel fine
you're my life
i'm alright)
she's dead if you want and that's me if you want
stuffed in the corner "little girl lost"
and i claw and i scratch and i beg and i scream
i just need you to save me one last time
it's me if you want but it's not what i want
i wanna burn up the place set it on fire
she's back 'cause she wants to not be contained
i can't tell the truth i can't speak this way
you can't find me
you're in the dark
i'm right here
stay where you are
she's dead if you want and it's me if you want
stuffed in the corner "little girl lost"
and i claw and i scratch and i beg and i scream
i just need you to save me one last time
it's me if you want but it's not what i want
i wanna burn up the place set it on fire
she's back and she wants to set things on fire
i can't tell the truth i can't speak this way
on fire on fire
where you are
she's dead if you want and it's me if you want
stuffed in the corner "little girl lost"
i claw and i scratch and i beg and i scream
i just need you to save me this time
it's me if you want but it's not what i want
i wanna burn up the place set it on fire
she's back and she wants to knock the good down
i can't tell the truth i won't speak your way
6) GOOD THINGS got this feeling when i heard your name the other day
couldn't say it couldn't make it go away
it's a hard place can't be friends we can't be enemies
it's just too much feel the weight crushing down on my face
the hardest part is things already said
getting better worse i cannot tell
why do good things never wanna stay
some things you lose some things you give away
this time it'll be alright
this time it'll be okay
the hardest part is things already said
getting better worse i cannot tell
why do good things never wanna stay
some things you lose some things you give away
broken pieces try and make it good again
is it worth it will it make me sick today
it's a dumb song but i'll write it anyway
it's an old mistake but we always make it why do we
this time it'll be alright
this time it'll be okay
7) I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE it's fine
when it's all mine
it's on my wall it's in my head
memorize it till i'm dead
it's yours
now i'm so bored
i wanna be your joey ramone
pictures of me on your bedroom door
invite you back after the show
i'm the queen of rock and roll
i just don't care
are you that scared?
i swear they're looking right at me
push to the front so i can see
it's what i thought
it's rock'n'roll
i wanna be your thurston moore
wrestle on your bedroom floor
always leave you wanting more
throw away those old records
we go downtown
put on your best frown
give me a chance
i know i can dance
i wanna be your joey ramone
pictures of me on your bedroom door
invite you back after the show
i'm the queen of rock and roll
it's fine
cus it's all mine
8) TAKING ME HOME you come here to my work
you come here every day
to make sure i'm still here
you look at me that way
rings on my fingers and
bows in my hair
you think i'm your present
you'll unwrap me here
is this a bad dream
is this really my life
well you wanna know
you'll show me tonight
NOT FOR SALE
NOT YOUR GIRL
NOT YOUR THING
i'm here on the counter
with no money down
for 9.99
you're taking me home
a dozen red roses
a cute little house
a cheap little ring
the deal is cut, now
something is messed up here
something isn't right
we're s'posed to be free
i'm s'posed to be mine
this part of my body
that you're pricing now
i'm cutting it off
i'm throwing it out
NOT FOR SALE
NOT YOUR GIRL
NOT YOUR THING
i got me mixed up with somebody else
i got me mixed up with somebody else
9) TASTE TEST bad thoughts bad car bad drive
a mess a lot a lie
i can't be alone tonight
i'm tired i'm hurt i'm fine
you've always got me guessing why
(that's how things happen to find you)
nothing the same after tonight
(and how am i gonna tell you)
tell me how i can make it right
(don't start i'm not gonna fight you)
keep the house quiet dark tonight
(could be i'm not gonna find you)
one sour one sweet one lime
taste both taste yours taste mine
too late too long no light
i can't see a thing tonight
you've always got me guessing why
(that's how things happen to find you
nothing the same after tonight
(and how am i gonna tell you)
nothing is gonna make it right
(don't start i'm not gonna fight you)
tell me what's going on inside
(could be i'm not gonna find you)
(where are you now
where did you go)
10) MY STUFF say no way
we won't let them grow up that way
things have changed
but some things have stayed the same
hold on to what you want to
but some things are passed down anyway
hold on to what i want to
i don't think i know what i just
leave me without a god without belief without a cause
without a path that i should take
without a choice that i should make
such an easy thought and now i had it out but i lost it
i guess i need your help and now i
guess i need your help and now i
say no way
don't let things go on this way
a clean slate
but it don't work that way
hold on to what you want to
but some things are passed down anyway
hold on to what i want to
i will have to own what i have
it's not my stuff it's just too much
it's just my stuff it's just myself it's just my
11) I'M NOT WAITING i'm not waiting

i'm not waiting
till i grow up
