NO LIBERATION HERE (1977)


I am feeling like I need some abuse

Throw me round the room let me be misused

I don’t feel right

No liberation here


Rub my nose in doggie’s duty today

Please embarrass me so I’ll be ashamed

I cannot be proud

No liberation here


I have close to no pride

Which way?

Where is the bathroom?

I will do my duty here

Where’s the disease infested toilet seat that I can plunge in deep?

Bury my head and face in crappy toilet water in shit


Let me kiss the one with bad breath that reeks

Let my tongue caress the rotted brown teeth

I can’t walk with my head held high

No liberation here


I can’t look at myself with pride or joy

Every night I’m filled with fright

I look all up and down

Behold what a sight

Mother nature secretly told me this is not right

Well my darling let’s see what I can be

When my body does defy the basic birds and bees


There’s a couple who wear fry boots today

And they make good love in the outdoors today

Love in the great outdoors

How does it feel to be free in the great outdoors?


I have close to no pride

Which way?

Where is the bathroom?

I will do my duty here

Where’s the disease infested toilet seat that I can plunge in deep?

Bury my head and face in crappy toilet water in shit


I don’t feel right

No liberation here

I cannot be proud

No liberation here

I can’t walk with my head held high

No liberation here

I don’t feel right

I’m a prisoner

I’m a prisoner

I’m a prisoner

I cannot be proud

I have nothing to be proud of

I am not proud

I am not proud

I can’t walk with my head held high

No liberation here
