From the recording Since Melvin Left Memphis
Outdated references aside, I love this song. It's our most successful foray into punk; the guys nailed it for me.
Lyrics
I'm bored of being so informed
Of every disease we've got
My girl don't need to read about
The constant risk of toxic shock
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business, mister
No, no, no, no
The law becomes a free for all
When we install the wires of trespass justice
Who believes in enemies
When there's a million sleazy spies among us
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business, mister
Oh, no, no, no
Freedom of information
Freedom to never understand a goddamn thing
Freedom of information
Freedom
You never get back what you give
News as entertainment
Turn some lies into patron saints
Go ahead and tell it like it is
Or tell it like it ain't
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business, mister
No, no, no, no
I can hardly stand it all
It's totally obscene, sadistic
Oh, it makes my stomach crawl
It defies the very laws of physics
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business, mister
Freedom of information
Freedom to never understand a goddamn thing
Freedom of information
Freedom
You never get back what you give
To data banks and compu-nets
And omnipresent leeches
Technology can be bought to teach
Your kids who can't read their fax on the beach
Airwaves of arrogance, heresy, sedition
And sometimes deeply hidden truths
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Oh
Yeah
Your autopsy is guaranteed
To be discreet, complete and thorough
Everyone's assured a piece
From the IRS to the credit bureau
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your goddamn business
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
Ain't none of your business, mister
Ain't none of your business
And I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
No!
("Ha!""Oh my god!""Wait a second..let's just do another one")
