THE "KIDS WHO DIED FOR SUGAR" EP

The shocking 1995 comeback single "The Kids Who Died for Sugar" was a new height of expression for Sleazy. He really socked it to the ruling class here, telling everyone the uncomfortable truth about the price they pay for non-stop pleasure in the tanning salon of the damned we call "America".

In addition, Sleazy established himself as the Zamfir of the kazoo, a new musical exploration that enriched the musical diets of many. It was also here that the world was introduced to the spell-binding urban folk-widsom of the late Rena Pugh whose story Emmanuel," was vitalized by Sleazy's guitar, vintage 1982 casio Keyboard using the "harp" sound, and rented "Boss" drum box.

THE KIDS WHO DIED FOR SUGAR

Little Suzy was lickin' up..
a thin stream of High-C from the gutter.
She was inecstasy, she didn't see the street sweeper comin'

Little Johnny drank twelve..
glasses of Kool-Aid and went out on a rampage.
He made suggestive remarks to Mrs. Hoolihan
And told Mrs. Jones he was proud to be white!

Where do find your sugar high?
Those magic crystals just can't lie.

(chorus:)
The kids who died for sugar!
They said they died cause they wanted to die.
The kids who died for sugar!
They were drinkin' Kool-Aid and gettin' high.
The kids who died for sugar!
Oh, Lord. Please don't let 'em die by the side of the road.

In the school the teachers complain.
the kids are in a voodoo trance.
They're hyperactive and they won't sit still in their chairs.

In the woods, after school the kids have a secret club.
There, they pledge murderous devotion,
To a smiley-faced Kool-Aid Jug!!

Where do you find your sugar high?
Those magic crystals just can't lie.

(CHORUS)

The city council passed a resolution, banning the sale of sugar products in the town.
But armed with funds and guns from the Nabisco corporation
The kids vowed to shoot anyone down.
Who blasphemed the Dextrose Nation,
Lyin' in the gutter in a diabetic siezure, child.

(CHORUS)

THE KIDS WHO DIED FOR SUGAR, PART II

Last year, over 900,000 teenage girls became pregnant.
And last year, over 5 million abortions were performed in the United States alone
Now some people would have you believe,
that this has nothin' to do with sugar.
Well, they're wrong. It's got EVERYTHING to do with sugar!!

Multi-national corporations, want nothing more than to pump your kids up
with sugar and filler and fat and dies and chemicals
It will make 'em obedient and docile but not to you.
But to RJR Nabisco and friends. There's no end to what they do, I wanna tell ya that

The kids who kill for sugar!
They say they kill cause they love to kill yeah.
The kids who died for sugar!
They were drinkin' Kool-Aid and gettin' a thrill.
The kids who died for sugar!
Oh, Lord. Please don't let 'em strike you down by the side of the road.

Every saturday morning all across America
Children and tranced and mezmerized by a glowing screen
Showing sugar sweet corn puffs and sugar sweet crack smack doodles and
sugar corn smack puffs and sugar.

In Omaha Nebraska 8-year old girls are reported to experience,
premature pubescent sexual excitement, after consuming just one bowl
of Kelloggs Sugar Crack Puffs.
A gallup poll revealed recently,
That when given a choice between letttin' their parents live
and havin' more sugar, 80% of American teenagers would choose
More Sugar!
I'm not kiddin' you about that. Not kiddin' you at all.

The kids who died for sugar!
They said they died cause they wanted to die.
The kids who died for sugar!
They were drinkin' Kool-Aid and gettin' high.
The kids who died for sugar!
Oh, Lord. Please don't let 'em die by the side of the road.

EMMANUEL

(Lyrics by Rena Pugh, Sr.)
Stevie, I had a beauty shop in Spring Valley.
And ALL my operators,
Stevie, they were gay.
And they loved every thing I did, and they would mind me, too.
But Emmanuel,
He was a 65 year old man, didn't wanna wear his glasses,
cause they didn't make him look good.
And I said Emmanuel,
getcha damn glasses on,
If you cut another customer's ear off, out you go!
Stop stealin' other operators tools, and give back what you've stolen.
I had to take 'em away from him!!!

yEEAH, he was gay, and a cross dressa.
One night I used his bathroom,
and there he had all his wigs and dresses and lace underwear.
He had a boyfriend at Elizabeth Arden.
and they used to go out and dress all kindsa fancy ways.
I said Lord, you don't have to come in lookin' like that,
Just come in lookin' better.

Emmanuel, getcha damn glasses on,
If you cut another customers ear off, you're goin' right out the door.

FALLOPIA'S SONG

There are places in the suburbs, baby.
Where you don't want to go.
Where people eat mayonnaise and kill each other
over a pencil or a sloppy Joe.

My daughter got involved in the drug scene.
Cause she thought it would make her the teen queen.
Until she killed herself, or at least she tried.
Over somethin' that she read in Greasy Snatch magazine.

(CHORUS:)
The sprinklers are a sprinklin'
The sidewalk is covered with shitty diapers
Honey, I betcha woulda smoked onea those too!

There ain't no bouffante encrusted thought police here,
As a matter of fact, there ain't no police at all
Unless you count the local vigilantes
Who provide security for hot girls down at the mall

I'm just sittin' here eatin' smelts and listenin' to Phil Collins
My daughter doesn't even know who he is.
I said Fallopia,
He was once a great man

(CHORUS)
