Lyrics

Jimmy had a punk band They were notorious for fitting the name of a female body part in every song Their demo tape, "Rape-a-saurus," featured tracks like "Kill The Dutch" and "Suck On My Tumor, Bitch" They signed to a major And the kids loved their stuff when they went on tour with New Found Glory They were carving a new niche, opening doors for raunch rock, and the Meatmen reformed again But Jimmy started hanging out with Jello Biafra And Dee Dee Ramone's will bequeathеd him all of his drugs Then he teamеd up with Enya and traded his guitar for a lute and a Casio And put out his new age concept album "Tears of Bin Laden: A Jihad Of Love" He said, "I want to be taken seriously as an artist" There's more to me than you've ever seen, I'm not limited by your perception I want to be taken seriously as an artist I still wear that big spiked strap-on on stage, but as a metaphor for U.S. oppression" Fifi was a pop star She rocked the headset mic and shook her supposedly natural wink-wink-nudge-nudge "virgin" mombags The Billboard top 40 was packed with 38 of her tracks and a couple new Tupac songs With hits like "Let's Not Ruin It By Doin' It" and "I'm Not Ready To Hold Hands Yet" She had her name on lunchboxes, posters and t-shirts and perfumes and golf balls and pruning shears Then she decided the world wanted to see the real Fifi Who was apparently a skin-flashing whore who'd gladly do anyone She dated Marilyn Manson, dumped him for Madonna, dumped her for the corpse of Kurt Cobain She'd show up on the red carpet, wearing nothing but a thong and two well-placed wads of chewing gum She said, "I want to be taken seriously as an artist" And you can only achieve true artist status by banging everyone in your respective scene I want to be taken seriously as an artist I can't be a good girl forever, I mean, my God, I'm almost 15!" If I linger 'round too long, will this desire catch up with me? Will there be "An Evening of Worm Quartet with the London Symphony?" Will "Worm Quartet Unplugged" be a reality someday? Will it just be me smacking buttons on my keyboard and bitching that the damned thing just won't play? Fifi formed a punk band Made up of studio musicians with models to play them in her videos Somehow her fanbase was left behind Jimmy is a pop star Shirtless on Seventeen, posing and pouting and singing with his new boy band Somehow his fanbase was left behind They said, "We want to be taken seriously as artists If you don't like our new stuff, then you're not real fans, we never needed you anyway We want to be taken seriously as artists But in a few years, we'll crawl back to our roots, to make sure we don't fade away And we'll see you again someday We'll see you again someday When our fortunes are pissed away In a small club in East L.A Opening for Worm Quartet!"
