The Antipop

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Earth it did crack open On the day that I was born And a thousand merry pranksters Came dancin' through the storm I laid cradle bound A howlin' out the wind Not knowin' years to come I'd be shoutin' over din [Pre-Chorus] I sucked information through the holes in my skull As my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full [Chorus] I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you cannot stop [Verse 2] As a young man I plug into the tube But the stench of all that pretense I cannot muddle through I lay on my back And scan the radio All that comes out my speakers Is a steady syrup flow [Pre-Chorus] I sucked information through the holes in my skull As my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full [Chorus] I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you cannot stop [Verse 3] I stood by watching And I seen 'em come and go I seen 'em make that million Then vanish into snow They come upon you Like a pack of rabid hounds As they slobber in your ears And purge you with their sounds [Pre-Chorus] Pushing misinformation through the holes in my skull My belly gurgles nauseous and still my mouth is full [Chorus] I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you cannot stop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am Antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop I am the Antipop, the man you will not stop [Outro] This completes the recording of the crypt at the basilica of the sacred heart
