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
