All these cats with holey jeans,
Dirty hair and titty rings
say "What's your scene man? We got these questions
Is it true that you have sold your soul?"
I say "Hey man, I don't know
Lend me a quarter won't you?
I'll call my accountant."

Let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start this minute

Petty little Ayatollah's
come around to judge and stone ya
All's we're trying to do is make a fortune
Yeah, we ain't got no government loans
And no one sends a check from home
But get this: we're just doin' what we wanna

So let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start this minute

Well the guitar players
Stayin' out in Hollywood and sayin'
He's just trying' to get some sleep
But everyone's complaning
Are you truly deeply cynical
'Cause boy you know that I loved you so
When no one knew your name
And you were pompous

Let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth

Get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth, yeah

Bill likes Cracker, as do I and other listeners.

So... live with it, PSD it, or whatever you need to do when 4 minutes of your life will be "wrecked" just by listening to a song.

Cracker is one of the Top 10 - 20 terrif musical artists I discovered here on RP that I had heard zilch of in NYC US.  Porc Tree, James, Jesse Cook, Cracker and multi others have expanded my spectrum.  Not just new, but wonderful new. 


That is why we come here!  Also, you can hear it in super hi-fidelity FLAC.  Thanx RP!

Indeed he does. I have no real sense of internet radio other than this site, but does any other source appreciate Cracker? This was popular in the 90s, but what other songs by this creative group ever got any serious attention? Elsewhere, that is.
