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!

Trivia[edit]
- 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.
