Lyrics

[Intro] Barney Miller was a cop Barney Miller was a cop He's dead This guy's a poser This next song is called "American Wasteland" [Verse 1] Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting Temperatures dropping at the rotten oasis Stealing kisses from the leprous faces [Verse 2] Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees Mouthwash jukebox gasoline Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets [Chorus] Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind [Verse 3] Love machines on the sympathy crutches Discount orgies on the dropout buses Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses Coming to town with the briefcase blues [Chorus] Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind [Verse 4] Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading Ghetto-blasting disintegrating Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm saying? And everywhere I look, there's a devil waiting [Chorus] Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Devil's [Outro] Can I get a little more guitar in the monitors? Turn the bass down a little bit too This next song is called "Go To Hell"
