Lyrics for Do the Slag

Have you heard about the latest craze That's sweeping across the nation All the punks from coast to coast Have discovered an old invention Your hair's too long, man, you're a queer You're too new wave, put down that beer Do the slag, look at 'em run Do the slag, hey, you scum Do the slag, ain't it fun? Do the slag, let's all be dumb Badmouth the people we don't know Make sure it's behind their backs Don't let new people in our scene It's more fun than having a friend We'll slag everyone each and every night So we can pretend that we're all right Make those pricks feel just so small We'll show the world we're three feet tall Slander their integrity, doubt their humanity Talk about their haircuts, are their politics correct? Do the slag, look at 'em run Do the slag, hey, you scum Do the slag, ain't it fun? Do the slag, let's all be dumb Don't let those sissies on the floor They're unhip, man, they brought the wrong clothes Let's all do the latest craze 'Cause having allies never pays Slander their integrity, doubt their humanity Talk about their haircuts, are their politics correct? Do the slag, look at 'em run Do the slag, hey, you scum Do the slag, ain't it fun? Do the slag, let's all be dumb Do the slag, look at 'em run Do the slag, hey, you scum Do the slag, ain't it fun? Do the slag, let's all be dumb
