lyrics

That’s What You Get
(Words & Music by Jim Butterfield)

The Punks and the Rockers, Motor-Town Hip-Hoppers
Think they got it all figured out
Rock-A-Billy Poets who don’t really know it
Some just twist, and some just shout
Glamor Rocker Wannabe’s, and indie has-beens just like me
Looking for a wink and a nod
Don’t forget the K-Pop, Grunge and Modern Power Pop
They’re auto-tune Rock Legend Gods
Lock ‘em in a padded room, and give them each a gun
They’ll form a circular firing squad
That’s what they’ll get…..That’s what they’ll get


The girls in the back seat, groovin’ to the down-beat
Waiting for the drugs to kick in
They don’t pretend to care about, anything you talk about
They’ll tell you when it’s time to begin
Everything is better when you tell her that you’ll let her
Just pretend it’s one big joke
The new age is back stage, never act your real age
Can’t fix something if it ain’t broke
A friendly game between friends of Russian Roulette
But don’t forget which one of you last spoke…..That’s what you get

CHORUS
That’s what you get
You stupid Get
This ain’t over yet
That’s what you get

The latest iteration of a dysfunctional nation
Is appearing right before your eyes
Dystopian Nirvana with a hint of Che Guevara
Telling pure sectarian lies
A Marxist protégé’s your daughter’s latest fiancé’
But he’s telling you he knows where it’s at
They’ll infiltrate your T.V. set, invent a proletariat
You shoulda known better than that
The FBI and IRS are in on the joke
I guess we know who’ll get the final laugh…..That’s what you get

BRIDGE
A little bit of common sense can go a long way
But none of that is common today
Did you miss the warning signs, or did you forget?
Be careful what you wish for, or you just might regret
Be careful what you wish for, or you just might regret
Be careful what you wish for, or you just might regret
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet…..That’s what you’ll get

The Secular Society replaced religiosity
The lemmings all joined the same team
The Congress and the Parliament became the latest sacrament
Genuflect before the machine
Five thousand years of moral law, and lessons learned from Ma and Pa
They’re all just so “passé”
A narcissistic generation, supersedes good education
For ego, fortune or fame
When God becomes a party joke
To neo-cons and common folk
That’s just “end of game”…..That’s what you get
