lyrics

On The Lazer Beam (Herselman)

Does anyone got twenty cents?
To give to me I'm pleasure bent
Living on video
Johnny's got a gun
And with only twenty cents
He's going to blow us into kingdom come
We're living on machines
Johnny's got a button
And with only twenty cents
He'll turn sheep into mutton
Watch out for that lazer beam!
One laughs
Another screams
Johnny's got a supersonic and subsonic
And somehow-bionic-plastic dream
On the video screen
Watch out for that lazer beam
Just watch out for that beam
Has anyone got twenty cents?
To give to me I'm pleasure bent
It's quite obscene (not pornographic)
It's just atomic in the nude
And that's extremely rude
Now we're living on lights
Johnny's got a free game
With only twenty cents
He'll turn the walking into lame
Watch out for that lazer beam!
One laughs....
There's buttons and screens
We caught in between
The clicks and whirls and lazer beams-
And it's all on the video machines
Johnny's got a button
Johnny's got a gun
Johnny's hooked on video
And it's such fun?
