about

Treacherous Jaywalkers recorded live at the Anti-Club, Los Angeles, CA 5 September 1986.

Cassette recording

lyrics

So you say you're
The leader of the pack
A man among men and that's that
You have the power, you have authority
You have a gift and people listen

Well, I think you're full of shit
You're a leader? What leader?
No one leads me
You stand upon your stage
People blindly follow your every word
Do you ever think of all the people
Suffering while you're throwing your
Ego around?
I've got something to say,
I'm gonna say it right now:

You're in the newsroom,
You're a big man
You've got something to say
And you're real smart
You're a politician, President of the U.S.
You think you're above me?
Who gave you the right?

Why should I listen to you,
Whenever I try to speak
You fuck me over
Can't you see that while you're up there
On your papal heights
Spreading the facts around
That as long as you're up there
And I'm down here
There will never be freedom
There are others who have brains,
Who can think, who can talk!
