The Decline of Western Civilization Page #8

---

I'm gonna go kill a Jew.

You know, I'm not gonna do that.

Maybe a hippie, though.

I mean, you know, the punks...

You know, punks against hippies,

that's another thing

if the hippies are starting it.

But then again, punks

against punks, you know,

that's not... that's not

what it's meant to be.

In Hollywood, most of the people

are like posers.

They're just wimpy, you know.

PENELOPE:
When you fight,

how do you feel?

When you're actually in a fight?

How do you feel?

Violent.

Yeah?

I feel very violent.

I feel like I'm doing something

I'm good at.

What?

Beating people up.

[LAUGHTER]

And everyone

shouldn't be afraid

to be as different

as they want to be.

People hold back a lot.

I've probably hit

lots of girls in the face.

I don't like girls very much.

- Do you have a girlfriend?

- No.

- How come?

- Don't have girlfriends.

Why?

Girls are terrible.

Now, I'm very good

at hiding my feelings

so I, I don't feel

depression anymore.

It's easy for me not to do that.

I... It's easy to be

very detached.

My mother's dead, so...

My step-dad, he's a cop.

You know, I haven't

talked to him in a long time.

Seen him at the movies

one night.

He didn't talk to me.

He walked away.

Acted like he didn't know me.

I don't know

where my parents are.

- Where's your real father?

-Don't know.

Don't even know who he is.

Society stinks.

We were trying

to change something.

The music industry,

the way we live.

You know, to be accepted

the way we want to, you know...

Why do you wear

those clothes like that?

I'm comfortable.

At one time, maybe,

I was considered different,

but now, I'm in

a comfortable lifestyle

and I can be myself.

Everyone's hair should be blue

because that's the best color.

It looks... it looks so good.

I figure, when I get tired

living the life I am now,

think I'll go

into classical music.

Is the time up now?

PENELOPE:
Show me your head.

Why did you do that?

I'm an X-head.

F***!

[PLAYING PROWLERS IN THE NIGHT]

[PLAYING PROWLERS IN THE NIGHT]

People are longing

They keep disappearing

Their secrets are turning

Thinner than air

Watching your basket

Knowing it's stupid

You lift up the box lid

To see what you can

Prowlers in the night

Ready for the kiss-off

Than the fight

There is a light on

of hidden reaction

The words mean to say

Kiss or fist

No easy answers

To unsolved questions

A string of opportunities missed

Prowlers in the night

Ready for the kiss-off

Than the fight

Laugh if you're able

They all die slow

Suicide reasons are

stupid excuses

Everyone's saying there's

nowhere to go

Prowlers in the night

Ready for the kiss-off

Than the fight

[P LAYING GLUTTONY]

A nice pot roast just

dropped in

Dressed in clogs,

your yummy friend

Watch the hunger

pangs set in,

Watch the calories go

marching in

ifs more mass gluttony

Add those pounds to

hide the tears

Nights rise,

dough boys crumble

But the need consumes us all

Munch and feed to heart's desire

Heartburn can only set us free

From gluttony,

gluttony, gluttony

Wallow in your cow disease

Pay no mind to the salivating brood

Find your comfort in your food

[CROWD CHEERING]

PENELOPE:
Wayne,

can you tell me

what you thought the first time

you saw them dancing?

Well, to me,

it was just another

form of dance.

It didn't really surprise me

because I've been a...

a dance fan myself

for many years and

I've probably tried

most types of dancing.

But, the pogo dance is just

exactly what the name implies,

is people gyrating up

and down in a vertical position

as though they were in fact

riding a pogo stick.

[LAUGHING]

But I can't say that

I was really surprised by it.

Well, I was.

I never saw anything

like that in my life.

I thought they were

starting something.

I don't know.

I just... It scared me.

PENELOPE:
Why do you think

they act like that?

It's an energy outlet.

It's...

They're really nice kids.

They just have to be doing

something different.

PENELOPE:
Yeah.

It's a release from

their daily tensions, I guess.

- What ever that may mean.

- In our day we ate goldfish.

[LAUGHING]

Right.

LEE:
I want all you a**holes

that are standing back there

sucking that overpriced sh*t

come up here, closer.

They wouldn't let us

play here tonight they thought

on account that we

didn't play here a long time

and they said the last time

we played here there was a riot.

So, you're not going to

disappoint us, are you?

Let's see a little motion up here.

This ain't no f***ing

country club.

I bet that there's a lot

of people out there

that give good head.

You were all

probably going to spend

the weekend in Frisco,

weren't ya?

I know you were.

Yous all gonna go away

for the weekend

while they install

the hot tub,

aren't you?

What a bunch

of ugly looking faces, man.

You guys are really just...

How much, do you like

being here at the beach?

The beach, the beach.

F*** off!

We really wish we could be

as nice as you people,

but we were born with problems.

Yous are all really f***ed.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Wow, man, you can spit

really good.

You're a p*ssy.

Yeah, next time don't bite

so hard when I come, okay?

F*** you!

You only spit as good

as you suck, shithead.

Yeah, eat my f***, a**hole.

What does "eat my f***" mean?

F*** you.

F*** you.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

How many queers

are here tonight?

How many homosexuals?

Come on, let me see now.

I can see that there's

a bunch of fags out there.

None of yous

are raising your hand.

There you go.

You can eat it, fuckface.

You eat it, fuckface!

Yous a bunch of f***in'

jerk-offs, do you know that?

Are you guys still rollin' up

the recording track?

MAN:
Yeah, I love it.

MAN:
Tell these people

to mellow out.

Everybody mellow out, man.

It's great to be gay.

We really like homos.

MAN:
F*** you!

Seriously, it's really

great to be here.

It's wonderful to be alive.

We're from LA.

Well, f*** you.

Here they are.

Sicko.

One, two three, four!

[PLAYING I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU]

Out from Avenue C

Waiting to freeze

From the valley hotel

F*** you

In the Wilcox hotel

Stood there lookin' at him

Ain't he cute?

Bodies in the street

And a man with no legs

Crawling down 5th street
