88 Seconds... & Still Counting Lyrics
[Hook]
Don't mean to bore ya
Just here to warn ya
Creep 'round the peepshow
But keep your head low
(88 seconds)
[Verse 1]
(88 seconds) and still countin'
Klansman beckons to pounce for the poundin'
A double bad dare, a triple frightmare
On with the show, 'cause heroes don't care
(88 seconds) to a mass disaster
If you're built to last, they'll make a plaster cast
To cement your legs and make you beg forgiveness
The Klan are the dregs, a nasty business
[Chorus]
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
Don't mean to bore ya
Just here to warn ya
Creep 'round the peepshow
But keep your head low
(88 seconds)
[Verse 1]
(88 seconds) and still countin'
Klansman beckons to pounce for the poundin'
A double bad dare, a triple frightmare
On with the show, 'cause heroes don't care
(88 seconds) to a mass disaster
If you're built to last, they'll make a plaster cast
To cement your legs and make you beg forgiveness
The Klan are the dregs, a nasty business
[Chorus]
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
[Post-Chorus]
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now, right now
[Interlude]
Death to the Klan! Death to the Klan!
Death to the Klan! Death to the Klan!
Death to the Klan! Death to the Klan!
Death to the Klan! (You shut up!)
[Hook]
Don't mean to bore ya
Just here to warn ya
Creep 'round the peepshow
But keep your head low
[Verse 2]
(88 seconds) the day of reckoning
Heavy attitudes getting leaden, getting heavier
So if ever you see an uprising
Seeds were sown have grown, not surprising
(88 seconds) to get tribal
Do you believe in guns or the Bible?
It's puke from the face of white insecurity
Nuke the church of racial purity
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now, right now
[Interlude]
Death to the Klan! Death to the Klan!
Death to the Klan! Death to the Klan!
Death to the Klan! Death to the Klan!
Death to the Klan! (You shut up!)
[Hook]
Don't mean to bore ya
Just here to warn ya
Creep 'round the peepshow
But keep your head low
[Verse 2]

So if ever you see an uprising
Seeds were sown have grown, not surprising

Nuke the church of racial purity
[Chorus]
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
[Post-Chorus]
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now
We'll start it right now, right now
[Interlude]
Greensboro, North Carolina...
The state protects the klan
They came through and they opened fire
The state protects the klan
They came through and they opened fire (You shut up!)
[Hook]
Don't mean to bore ya
Just here to warn ya
Creep 'round the peepshow
But keep your head low
Don't mean to bore ya
Just here to warn ya
Creep 'round the peepshow
But keep your head low
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
They wanna do it right
They wanna storm the place
They wanna cut your face
They wanna play their ace
