== Lyrics ==
The first version ever recorded featured the following lyrics:

    I'm being pushed like a blow up doll
    Sell soul fuck with every call
    Cribs become abortions at the shopping mall
    You bet your answers from the eight ball
    
    Better, better, better, better, better not tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, can't tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    
    Look at me, lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    Outlook is not so good
    What I wanna hear
    
    With eyes hazy
    Pick my future I'm too lazy
    Always got the science fiction mentality
    Coldest foam static-gobble talking to me
    
    Who with the need there comes the degrilled greed
    Get on the floor pointing down on our feet
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, can't tell you
    
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna, I don't know wanna tell you
    
    Look at me, lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    Outlook is not so good
    What I wanna hear
    
    Look at me, lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    Outlook is not so good
    What I wanna hear
    
    Eight ball!
    Eight ball!
    Eight ball!
    Eight ball!
    
    Look at me, lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    Outlook is not so good
    What I wanna hear
    
    (Oh no no, oh no no)
    Better, better, better, better, better not tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, can't tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    
    Eight ball!
    
    Look at me, lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    Outlook is not so good
    What I wanna hear
    
    Look at me, lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    Outlook is not so good
    What I wanna hear

The ''[[Portrait Sessions]]'' version has the following lyrics:

    Being pushed like a blow up doll
    Sell soul fuck with every call
    Cribs become abortions at the shopping mall
    You bet your answers from the eight the eight ball
    
    Better, better, better, better, better not tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    Better, better, better, better, better not tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    
    Outlook not good
    What I wanna hear
    Look at me lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    
    With eyes hazy
    Pick my future I'm too lazy
    Always got the science fiction mentality
    It's got the coldest foam static-gobble talking to me
    
    With the need there comes the degrilled greed
    Even on the floor pointing down on our feet
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, eight ball!
    
    Shake it shake it!
    Shake it shake it!
    Shake it shake it!
    
    Outlook not good

    What I wanna hear
    Look at me lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    
    Eight ball!
    Shake it shake it!
    Shake it shake it!
    Shake it shake it!
   
    Outlook not good
    What I wanna hear
    Look at me lie to me
    You make it all so clear
    
    Better, better, better, better, better not tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time
    Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, I can't tell you
    Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe next time!

    Outlook not good

    Look at me lie to me
    You make it all so clear

    Outlook not good
    What I wanna hear
    Look at me lie to me
    You make it all so clear

== Trivia ==
* One small snippet of the lyrics ("''better, better, better, better not tell''") was re-used in "[[Irresponsible Hate Anthem]]" several years later.
* Another snippet, "''Cribs become abortions''", resembles "''Are all your infants in abortion cribs''" in "[[Man That You Fear]]".
* This song was considered for inclusion on Portrait of an American Family.
