DJ: Let's hear from the Queers
JOE QUEER: Okay, we all set in there, Pat?

JOE: This is our set from 19, uh... 1983. We have our original lead vocalist, Wimpy, back again
[00:11 - "We'd Have A Riot Doing Heroin"]
[Spoken]
WIMPY: We are the Queers! This song's called, "We'd Have A Riot Doing Heroin!"
We'd have a riot doing heroin
Take that needle and stick it in
We'd stick that spike into our skin
Yeah, we'd have a riot doing heroin
Go!
We'd have a riot doing heroin
Take that needle and stick it in
We'd stick that spike into our skin
Yeah, we'd have a riot doing heroin

Go!
[01:45 - "Terminal Rut"]
1-2-3-4!
I wake up and smoke a joint
I love my life, there's just no point
Hit the couch, turn on the tube
I love to watch the Family Feud
I'm all fucked up, it's time for me
To change the channel on TV
Getting late, I have to crash
I wish I had some corned beef hash
Go to the sink, do the big spit
I'm in a rut, don't give (a shit)
[02:16 - "Fagtown"]
1-2-3-4!
Fagtown, downtown, all the queers hang around

Fagtown, Fagtown, Fagtown, Fagtown sucks
Fagtown, Fagtown, Fagtown, Fagtown sucks
Fagtown, Fagtown, Fagtown, Fagtown sucks

But he had nothing planned
So Tulu went to New York
He said he had to go
He asked me, "What's a [?] ?"
(He certainly should know)
Well, Tulu has a girlfriend
He says he really likes her
But we can't stand her
'Cause 'cause she won't drink Budweiser
Tulu is a wimp

[05:41 - "I Don't Wanna Work"]
1-2-3-4!
I never hold a job for more than a week
My father was a rich man, and my mother, a geek

And they think that I'm crazy 'cause I don't wanna work
'Cause I don't wanna work
I don't wanna work
[Guitar solo]

Seem to bite off more than I can chew
Used to have a job, but now I'm through
Guess I'm pretty stupid, but so are you
'Cause I'm useless
Well, my girlfriend went and left me
My landlord kicked me out
I'm lonely, scared, and smelly
I wanna die but don't know how
[Spoken]
WIMPY: He's seven years old, and he's dying of old age! And I don't care about any of you limp-wristed funny boys!

There's things I don't wanna know
I don't know what we can do
But this place sucks

There's only so much I can give
My brain is getting like a sieve
There's really nowhere else to live
But this place sucks
This place sucks
This place sucks

All the sweet green icing is flowing down
'Cause someone left the cake out in the rain
(Whoo!)
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing is flowing down
'Cause someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it

I hate my life, and I don't care
I'm nowhere at all
I'm nowhere at all

[16:11 - "Nothing To Do"]
Said you called me, but you fuckin' lied
You little bitch, you deserve to die
I'm just sittin' here pullin' my pud
With a dirty magazine and a six of Bud
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do
You said we'd go see a flick
And you said that you'd suck my dick
Then I saw you with that jock
And all I can say is, "What the [unintelligible]?"
