lyrics: 

I wanna be in a motorcycle gang 
 Green and mean, and fucked up all the time. 
 Picture me on the back of a Harley 
 leather-clad and bad, and driving 55 

 I'm going nowhere, I'd rather go somewhere instead. 

 I wanna see things I'll never get to see 
 foreign bronze, Klingons, naked girls with purple eyes. 
 Yeah look at me, sad and low and lonely 
 dead-end job, a slob, and fucked up all the time. 

 I'm going nowhere, I'd rather go somewhere instead 
 I'm gonna blow a hole, through the back of my head. 

 Don't cry 
 Don't cry 
 When I 
 When I 
 Say goodbye 
 Don't cry 
 Don't, don't cry.
